A few weeks ago we dealt with those who hold the highest responsibility if slavery. The African chiefs who sold their people, the raiders who captured and transported the slaves , the largest slave traffickers in history .
The reparation issue is a good question ,did you argue that the documented cases should be the only ones to pay. Which smacks of pinnibg the trade on a particular race.
Now to that add William Wilberforce, the British guy who moved boulders and rocks to have slavery trade banned and abolished

The America wealth was built on the back of slavery so they bear a larger brunt of the cost. By all means go after all the others but those who benefited hugely economically are not unjustly being asked to pay.

If you work for a company and your pay was withheld should your heirs receive your benefits after your death? Of course!

basilico:
If slaves are to be compensated what about those who fought for those slaves to be free? Whose blood is thicker?

Slaves. Do you realise how many slaves died? Do you think the soldiers who died during the civil war are even up to half of the slaves that died during transportation alone?

Why can't I just delete a post. Seun this your outdated site mechanics is such a nuisance.

Slavery should be compensated. Should the descendants of the white Republicans who lost their lives fighting the democrat slave owners be compensated?

Do we perpetually compensate the descendants of soliders?

basilico:
The Justice Department has compensated people who were wrongfully prosecuted in the past. J6 protesters were wrongfully prosecuted , excluding Ray Epps who should have been jailed .

But slavery shouldn't be compensated for?

Why all this AI slop when you can report what was actually said.

The bigoted ones are gonna have a belle ache.

How much has been spent on improving blacks since the passage of the civil rights act. Answer
$26-30 Trillion.IRS has collected between $85-90 Trillion in revenues within the same period. Data from Google Gemini

What do they have to show for it apart from demands for reparations.

Should J6 protesters be paid reparations?

I didn't say a strong defense of culture was a hallmark of greatness. And, l didnt list iit in the main part of my response - there are rubbish cultures and practices that are strongly defended.

My point was that, having attained to greatness - even if only relative - the ability to maintain and defend those things that enabled and delivered said greatness is important.

I noted that with particular reference to the West, which is currently under attack from within and without, due to a failure to do just that.

What does "push culture in a positive direction" mean? How does that happen in any given settling, given that in both relative and absolute terms what would be positive varies widely. I noted the defence of rubbish cultures and practices earlier.


TV

For instance the way food or clothes culture changes to be more inclusive, that is an example of a positive direction. There many other ways culture can change in a positive direction. I feel that you as a conservative Christian might not agree with some of them but they make society better.

Do all Republicans vote for sensible things ALL THE TIME?

Of course not and y'all will do well to remember that.

TV01:
One would have to factor the era of the state. For example, in it's time it would have been the Roman empire., which had proper notions of citizenship. But it also had aliens, slaves (and probably illegals )

In absolute terms, you can't get away from a country\nation (an empire is possible, but largely disqualified by the very nature of empires), which has full-suite individual freedoms and human rights. Not just miiitary prowess, an advanced economy, functioning institutions and fosters technological advancement and innovation, as well as being a haven for entrepreneurs and welcoming to immigrants.

Another element would be a strong and robust defense of it's culture. Almost all natures are losing or being pressured to loosen that . But as things stand?

USAMERICA take a bow .


TV

Strong defense of culture is not a hallmark of greatness IMO. The ability to push culture in positive directions is what makes any people group great.

benalvino3:
Yes, they were going to vote for it does not mean it makes sense. That's how you think? No wonder 😂

Even me that supports Republican knows they make some silly mistakes. But LordReed trust them so much that they can't possibly vote for something stupid. I agree the Republicans who pushed the bill and wanted to vote it are stewpeed.

It was going to pass so Republicans were all stewpeed right. LoLz. What a M Œ R Ø N.

bayelsaowei:
So let’s end the Iranian civilization.

Kudos..

Daddy Trump wants to become a genocidal maniac in additional to his already well established craziness.

benalvino3:
Copy and past the bill here and tell me if it made sense 😂

I bet you have no clue what is in the bill

Look at this senseless automaton. Is the reduction in illegal crossings since 2024 under Joe Biden about the bill? Use your freaking grey matter.

basilico:
Yes they are not

Head dey pain you? You forgot how English works?

benalvino3:
Lmao. This guy and Obrigardo must be brothers 😂😂

Facts don't matter to senseless people like you so I ain't surprised by this.

benalvino3:
I thought you knew how stewpeed that bill was and how it would codify illegal border crossing into law.

You discuss things from ignorance. That's your problem.

A stewpeed law that Republicans were going to vote for until daddy Trump said not to. And was even spearheaded by a Republican so you agree Republicans are stewpeed then. LoLz.

raumdeuter:
Illegal border crossings are down to all time lows without any new law

Ithas been falling since 2024 under Joe Biden so how is it uniquely a Republican thing?

benalvino3:
Your head no correct

I forgot how senseless you are.

raumdeuter:
That is why border crossings are at the lowest levels ever under this admin

All border crossings or just illegal border crossing?

raumdeuter:
He didnt need a new bill, he just enforced existing laws to secure the border

Ok so the current border laws are ok?

lagonovo:
Define the metrics that work for you.

The country/nation/empire that has provided the best mix of benefits for all it's citizens in accordance with the resources available to it.

raumdeuter:
He shut it down because it was a weak bill

The bill only gives Shutdown authority if the illegal border crossings exceed 5000 per day
Allows Catch and release
the bill also provides too much funding to sanctuary cities

And replaced it with what bill?

benalvino3:
Which bill?

The bipartisan Border Act of 2024 (S.4361)

benalvino3:
When democrats cared about the safety and wellbeing of the nation. Now they hate it and want to destroy it.

Then your daddy Trump killed the bipartisan immigration bill because...?

lagonovo:
That's my reason. US dominated a more defined world with fully formed nations. The dominance is further underlined by a diverse immigrant population which is overwhelmingly the highest in the world dwarfing the combined total of the next 4 nations at the top.

Immigration is a terrible metric for measuring the greatness of a country when the US is primarily a nation of immigrants.

Obrigardo:
And this fool is the one who supports the predator that posts stuff like this.

People, tell me, who is the insane one.

It is surely this maga cultist.

Praise be to Allah...on Easter Sunday. Bwahahahaha!

MAGAts behold your lord Allah is risen! Bwahahahaha!

raumdeuter:
Ukraine is not a member its trying to Join NATO

So it wasn't required to pay anything so payments to NATO has no bearing on the US being a part of its Defense against Russia. And based on YOUR previous reason that merely shouting death to another nation deserves the US' intervention then there is no problem with the US coming to Ukraine's aid. This is all based on YOUR own reasons.

raumdeuter:
US came to the defence of NATO, NATO was defending Ukraine.

NATO countries were not paying their share of the defence

Is Ukraine a part of NATO?

raumdeuter:
All NATO members were supposed to pay 5% of their GDP to NATO for defence, Manu European nations were not doing it

Not an answer to my question. What was Ukraine supposed to pay?
