Well here comes the next big thing - gay reparations.

When do I get reparations for being bullied and having the crap kicked out of me for three years
in middle school? Dammit I want MY money, or I won't vote for you.

'Democrats Were the Devil' on Race But Republicans 'Took That Over,' Reparations Hearing Witness Says
Under questioning from Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) at the "H.R. 40 and the Path to Restorative Justice" hearing, Malveaux responded to Gohmert’s comments about the history of the Democratic Party.
“People want to talk ugly about Democrats; people change their ideologies so the Democrats were the devil once upon a time. There were these groups called the Red Shirts, which were the Klan, they were Democrats. However, the Republicans took that over, they became the devil,” Malveaux said. “I’m just saying. Forgive me, brother Chairman, I know you said I’m not supposed to say that. Forgive me. But in any case, people do change ideologies."
Malveaux brought up Wilmington, N.C., as an example of the history of the Democratic Party.
"Democrats and Republicans have been racist but in Wilmington North Carolina, Republicans and black people came together to form a fusion government, and white folks were so frightened that they took all the prominent black men in that town, arrested them, the next morning gave them tickets to leave town. They had to leave their property, their livelihood, their families, everything," she said. "This is why we need reparations. Democrats, yes, Democrats were so threatened by the notion of this fusion government that they basically burned people out. They've documented 60 deaths."

Out of work journalists in their new "coding" job.

Almost appears that the writer is giving the best argument, ever, against the hiring some black folks. Also makes a great, and substantial case, against ending affirmative action programs, quotas, and bidding set asides.

White Irish slaves were treated worse than any other race in the US. When was the last time you heard an Irishman bitching how the world owes them a living? You won't .... The Irish are not pussies looking for free sh-t!!!
Waiting for Irish reparations. Ah, hold one ....

Who'd have though our resident Tw@twaffle has a Sister in the UK!!!
That woman is HYSTERICAL .... screeching her leftist narratives
yeah colonizing and imperialism were bad, but where would these countries be now .....
India would still be burning widows on Funeral Pyres
Africans are ruling over Africa, Democracy means little given the levels of corruption
Kenya is getting by but South Africa and Zimbabwe have been ruined by black rule in 2 Generations since
Zimbabwe fed millions ... now decades of pushing off white farmers out, people are starving now
Theres a reason sub-sahara africa showed no meaningful change in 1800 than it was in 10,000 BC.
It wasn't colonialism.
Africa was and still is very TRIBAL - now they call them ' communities '
Having experience with Kenya - The President ensures Gov money is mostly spent on HIS Community ... roads, jobs and so one, while the other Communities languish
If there isn't Tribal Persecution, Review Rwanda
Then there is Religious Muslims are murdering Christians which results in Christians murdering Muslims in retaliation or self defense
Muslims are ENSLAVING 10's of thousands of Africans .... where is the Progressive calls for Reparations and the End of African Slavery
I can hear it now...
"Oh, but that's just part of their culture! You're being racist!!!"
This is an interesting read ......
Why Did Human History Unfold Differently On Different Continents For The Last 13,000 Years?
Nevertheless, steel swords, guns, and horses weren't the sole proximate factors behind the European conquest of the New World. Infectious diseases introduced with Europeans, like smallpox and measles, spread from one Indian tribe to another, far in advance of Europeans themselves, and killed an estimated 95% of the New World's Indian population. Those diseases were endemic in Europe, and Europeans had had time to develop both genetic and immune resistance to them, but Indians initially had no such resistance. That role played by infectious diseases in the European conquest of the New World was duplicated in many other parts of the world, including Aboriginal Australia, southern Africa, and many Pacific islands.
Finally, there is still another set of proximate factors to consider. How is it that Pizarro and CortŽs reached the New World at all, before Aztec and Inca conquistadors could reach Europe? That outcome depended partly on technology in the form of oceangoing ships. Europeans had such ships, while the Aztecs and Incas did not. Also, those European ships were backed by the centralized political organization that enabled Spain and other European countries to build and staff the ships. Equally crucial was the role of European writing in permitting the quick spread of accurate detailed information, including maps, sailing directions, and accounts by earlier explorers, back to Europe, to motivate later explorers.
So far, we've identified a series of proximate factors behind European colonization of the New World: namely, ships, political organization, and writing that brought Europeans to the New World;
[clip]
Just as we asked why CortŽs invaded Mexico before Montezuma could invade Europe, we can similarly ask why Europeans colonized sub-Saharan Africa before sub-Saharans could colonize Europe. The proximate factors were the same familiar ones of guns, steel, oceangoing ships, political organization, and writing. But again, we can ask why guns and ships and so on ended up being developed in Europe rather than in sub-Saharan Africa. To the student of human evolution, that question is particularly puzzling, because humans have been evolving for millions of years longer in Africa than in Europe, and even anatomically modern Homo sapiens may have reached Europe from Africa only within the last 50,000 years. If time were a critical factor in the development of human societies, Africa should have enjoyed an enormous head start and advantage over Europe.
Again, that outcome largely reflects biogeographic differences in the availability of domesticable wild animal and plant species. Taking first domestic animals, it's striking that the sole animal domesticated within sub-Saharan Africa was [you guess] a bird, the Guinea fowl. All of Africa's mammalian domesticates ÷ cattle, sheep, goats, horses, even dogs ÷ entered sub-Saharan Africa from the north, from Eurasia or North Africa. At first that sounds astonishing, since we now think of Africa as the continent of big wild mammals. In fact, none of those famous big wild mammal species of Africa proved domesticable. They were all disqualified by one or another problem such as: unsuitable social organization; intractable behavior; slow growth rate, and so on. Just think what the course of world history might have been like if Africa's rhinos and hippos had lent themselves to domestication! If that had been possible, African cavalry mounted on rhinos or hippos would have made mincemeat of European cavalry mounted on horses. But it couldn't happen.
Instead, as I mentioned, the livestock adopted in Africa were Eurasian species that came in from the north. Africa's long axis, like that of the Americas, is north/south rather than east/west. Those Eurasian domestic mammals spread southward very slowly in Africa, because they had to adapt to different climate zones and different animal diseases.
The difficulties posed by a north/south axis to the spread of domesticated species are even more striking for African crops than they are for livestock. Remember that the food staples of ancient Egypt were Fertile Crescent and Mediterranean crops like wheat and barley, which require winter rains and seasonal variation in day length for their germination. Those crops couldn't spread south in Africa beyond Ethiopia, beyond which the rains come in the summer and there's little or no seasonal variation in day length. Instead, the development of agriculture in the sub-Sahara had to await the domestication of native African plant species like sorghum and millet, adapted to Central Africa's summer rains and relatively constant day length.
Ironically, those crops of Central Africa were for the same reason then unable to spread south to the Mediterranean zone of South Africa, where once again winter rains and big seasonal variations in day length prevailed. The southward advance of native African farmers with Central African crops halted in Natal, beyond which Central African crops couldn't grow ÷ with enormous consequences for the recent history of South Africa.
In short, a north/south axis, and a paucity of wild plant and animal species suitable for domestication, were decisive in African history, just as they were in Native American history. Although native Africans domesticated some plants in the Sahel and in Ethiopia and in tropical West Africa, they acquired valuable domestic animals only later, from the north. The resulting advantages of Europeans in guns, ships, political organization, and writing permitted Europeans to colonize Africa, rather than Africans to colonize Europe.

Why is Haiti in constant civil disruption while the Dominican Republic is peaceful and a tourist spot?
Why are there killings in Chicago, Philadelphia Detroit, and you cannot ride a subway in New York.
The reasons are pretty simple all one has to do is open their eyes, and claiming any different is just BS.
