What About The Good Folks That Died to Free Slaves?

I wouldn't ask Italy to give me money for conquering Britain, and oppressing my ancestors.

I'm not asking Rome to pay for my enslaved ancestors either.

I'm not giving France money for burning Joan of Arc

JA! reparations are no gut, ja?

Si

Da

I'm not suing Russia for what the Bolsheviks did to my grandmother's people so why would I be reponsible for a situation that happened here before they were born or before they even legally immigrated here? IMHO, this is just a way to stir up racial tension.

Half of those union soldiers that fought in the civil war, were African.

I see. So those of European descent shouldn't get any credit for ending slavery. I get you.

Try 10%. And not all of those saw combat at the rate of other soldiers.

I read one unit of soldiers had half of them black.

You got something in your eye there, Octavia?

So just one unit fought for the north? That's impressive military acumen.

that's not what I meant, and you know it

What's your point? That black Americans fought for the north? No on denies that. Don't know where you got 50% tho.

What should be made note of; is, black Americans were aligned with Republicans to grant their kind freedom from Democrats that wanted to keep them enslaved. It is amazing how blacks are told a lie from the cradle to the grave about civil rights!

Ikr? Robert Byrd was in the KKK but muh parties switched. Times do change but the Democrat party is still using fear to control. A 90% voting block, crazy.

No, they shouldn't get any credit - unless you can find me any that freed any slaves and not in exchange to be volunteer soldiers.

Fair enough. I imagine it's the same way that some claim the allies fought WW2 to stop the holocaust.

half? lmfao that's some intense kool-aid you're drinking

Half...I'll take whatever he's drinking.
