not including their descendants, so the Civil War killed 700,000 Americans to free the slaves

The BLM movement should pay reparations to those families.

edit- left off one word, sorry

I’m sure they will send Raz around to pass the hat in the former CHAZ.

If you had an opportunity to free a family of four from being wrongfully imprisoned but you had to kill the 20 people imprisoning them, would you say it's justified?

I really hope you're not this stupid.

This is a dumb thread


The abolition of slavery didn’t just free current slaves, but those who were yet to be born

How many of those 388K were owned by other melanin-enhanced individuals?

How many of those 388K had ancestors sold by melanin-enhanced groups?

Many historians agree thats its doubtful slavery would've lasted much longer regardless of the outcome of the war.

So do white people who have a descendant who was a African American slave also get reparations?

If that's the case then the South was stupid for starting a war over a practice that was on its way out anyway

Yeah it's normal to judge people from the zeitgeist of 200 years in the future.....

I'll pose you a better one, by fighting against Germany and Japan we killed 200 million people was that wrong?

We can do this all day

You do realize only a very small percentage of Americans ever owned slaves including those who fought for the Confederacy right?

You do realize that the Union army forced Irish immigrants fresh off the boat into Army service even though a sizable number of their Irish ancestors were enslaved by the very Union back family that was forcing them to fight for their cause (which was taxes) a century prior. But you don’t want to have that conversation.

Well I mean they likely didnt realize the path things would've took. We have the benefit of hindsight.
