Running racism in America thread

Holy crap.

 

I sense Cancel Culture is on the horizon. And this cretin will be on the docket at CPAP 2023.

 

Amazing journalism by the Times. I think I vaguely knew of Haiti's debt payments, but not the extent. You gotta take the 45 minutes to read the mainbar.

The Root of Haiti’s Misery: Reparations to Enslavers

 

The next bongo drums for the Faux Fascist Noise Screech Machine: American slaveholders were never properly compensated for the loss of their property. Reparations are in order.

 

I’d rather have a story like this, than another interview in a Midwestern diner. That being said, a comparison to the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean nations would be in order. But otherwise, a good piece.

 

The 13th amendment was never properly ratified by the southern states who never ceded from the Union, a legal impossibility. So Alito and the Katholic Klan Kourt will Invalidate the 13 amendment returning the former slaves and their children and grandchildren and their grandchildren’s grandchildren to their status as property not people. Which is historically accurate.
I hope whomever owns Uncle Clarence beats his ass.

 

Thirty years experience dealing with constitutional issues and a LLM!

 

The RWSM has been saying the quiet parts out loud about the Reconstruction Amendments ever since, well, about Jan. 21, 2017

 

The problem is you start invalidating the Reconstruction amendments, you invalidate the thing that gives all of these religious freedom cases any legs. And protection from gun laws in liberal states. But sure, start going after those.

But if I’m wrong, I’d love to see why enumerated

 

... you're responding to loons. Better to have fun with it.

 

You sumbitch. I tip my cap.

 

Oh don't worry, the Shiite Catholic SCOTUS installed by Team Fatfuck will figure our how to hopscotch over the shit they don't like and keep the shit they do.

How it will be explained how it's totally appropriate that the descendants of Southern slave owners should be compensated for the paper loss of the value of their slaves, but as for the descendants of the slaves themselves, "freedom is its own reward."
