[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Rich confederate history" is a funny way to spell slave-owning traitors.[/quote]
Agreed. I wonder if Germans celebrate their “rich nazi history”…somehow I doubt it. And yes, slavery was just as bad as nazism. [/quote]

Well first of all, there are some living survivors who bare the pain of the what the nazis did. Slavery was 250 years ago, if it were not for history books no one would even know if it. There is not a single person who is directly affected by Slavery living on the face of the planet in 2023. [/quote]

That is a very ignorant statement. People are directly affected by slavery today. There are many people who would not be in the country without slavery. After slavery ended there was historic oppression of the former slave population. Blacks were denied economic opportunities by the force of law for generations in this country. Property was taking by force and laws enacted that restricted movement, employment and educational opportunities that were available to whites. It is still happening today.

[quote] After the civil war, formerly enslaved people bought about 15 million acres across the US (mostly in the south), but those landowners lacked clear legal title and also often did not have access to legal advice for estate planning — combine that with lending discrimination (redlining) and the diasporas that scattered families across the country and that land has become easy pickings for crooked property developers and their crooked lawyers.
These crooks use the obscure law surrounding "heirs' property" to steal land from black people. By locating a single descendant — or person who claims to be a descendant — anywhere in America, the crooks can force a sale of family property that has been continuously occupied for a century or more. These sales take place at poorly attended auctions, and the property sells well below market value.

Ground zero for this theft is Hilton Head, South Carolina, the historic home of the Gullah people, who have been systematically deprived of their ancestral lands for 70+ years, since their isolated homes became a sought-after vacation destination for wealthy whites.[/quote]

If you look at historical data. The earlier ones ancestors arrive to this country, the wealthier and more established the family. This does not apply to blacks. The majority of blacks were forcibly shipped to this country before 1808. [/quote]
