It's Not Crime...It's Reparations

@JoeNation , anything that Snyder wrote can be applied directly to specific actions by President Biden. Remember Biden’s only been in office just short of 9 months.

Huckabay drew controversy earlier this year in a Facebook post claiming that slavery fostered "hard working ethics" and "love and respect." She has also spread QAnon and COVID-19 conspiracy theories and suggested that fellow Republican lawmakers were brainwashed by communism.

 

How many slaves stayed with their masters after emancipation and why?

"True and comprehensive emancipation came in 1865 with passage of the 13th Amendment. Union troops went to many plantations and had the slave owners tell the slaves that they were just as free as they, the owners, were. There was often rejoicing at first, but as Booker T. Washington noted, after the initial joy, many slaves worried about what they would do. If they had good masters, many stayed on the plantation, continued to work and received the food, clothing, shelter and healthcare they were provided as slaves. Some masters did not tell their slaves they were free, and this was not all bad for the slaves. Many slaves wanted to leave their plantations to prove they were free, but then found the same work at neighboring plantations.

About 25% of the slaves who chose to follow the Union Army died.

Freed slaves who immediately left their plantations without plans or direction were in all the basic ways refugees without homes, food, work, healthcare or money. That refugee status resulted in many deaths from starvation, disease and violence. Sick From Freedom is a recent book that explains what happened. The Census figures show that many African Americans died from emancipation in the two or three years after 1865.

Substantial numbers of freed slaves stayed with their masters, some for a decade or longer. The freed slaves who stayed on their familiar plantations tended to survive the turbulent post-war years. Many left for weeks or months and then returned to their old plantations. General Fisk, who was in charge of the Freedman’s Bureau in some ways, advised freed slaves to return to their old plantations when it became obvious that the federal government and Union Army did not plan for emancipation."

The Civil War and all the death and destruction could have been avoided had the North freed the slaves via Eminent Domain.

 

Yes, Eminent Domain could have possibly persuaded 1 or 2 States. It is academic as to time line advantage now, because this is what is being proffered NOW, and search not high and low, but the Halls of Yale Law School.

The consideration being made is: Descendants have a legal AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to LOCAL Reparations....via turning over all old Plantations, no matter what level of improvement at this time or value, etc.

While National reparations is still demanded, LOCAL reparations is seen as a faster path of the least resistance, where the "support" for same will be in the "majority" (gee, I wonder what that means).

This has been another Charley Talk.

 

I take no responsibility (ZERO) for anything that occurred prior to 1958...and for very little after that. If folks want help overcoming injustice and inequity, just ask me nicely and you'll get all the advice I possess.

 

So you deny it is YOUR fault? How Caponesish of you. Just what I would expect.

 

If you are going to be turning over old plantations in search of reparations, I suggest you start with Robert E Lee's old plantation. There are some little white markers dated to the first half of the 1860's. Buried under each of them is a national treasure. There are over 360,000 of these scattered over the eastern United States. That's where your reparations are located.

 

Him and his ilk know very well (or do a good job of playing dumb).

 

Playing?
