For some reason this country is falling all over itself for the 13%. Now they have 2 "holidays". Nobody complains and plays the victim card as much as the 13%.
I'm looking forward to course correction.
White Americans enslaved an entire race of humans for centuries and our government denied them basic constitutional rights well into the 20th century and you're complaining about two days out of 365. If anyone is playing a "victim card," it's your own pathetic, racist self.
If by White Americans enslaving a race..you mean 10% or less of the Southern White population and 1% or less of the Northern White populace...thus being about 2% of the entire US White population. Plus not forgetting American-Indian tribes that held Black slaves and Mixed race people who held Black slaves....then sure you are correct.
Of course this same argument could be made about Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, or many other Latin American and Caribbean nations.
And of course those slaves were sold to brown skinned Spaniards/Portuguese by West African black tribes/nations who slaved for a living.
What's your point? Slavery was abolished almost 200 years ago in the United States. No one alive today owned a slave or was a slave.
Beside reparations payments what else would you want to see done?
At this point we are literally tearing down the statues of our ancestors, statesmen, and settlers...yet it is still not enough.
Modern leftist moral attitude toward race (influenced by Marxism) seems to be a new faith with massive amounts of guilt and zero grace/redemption/forgiveness.
