    So you haven't heard the right wing parable about giving charity/welfare/cash to ignant types? The tale changes, according to which ever group the right wingers want to deprive. they say those idiots wouldn't knowwhat to do with whatever the right winger doesn't want to give. Time, money, a ****.

    I’ll ask you again. If you don’t care about institutionalized, systemic racism against white people, why should they care when it happens to anyone else?

    this is a conspiracy theory. Nobody's out to get you. It doesn't make any sense that they would be.
    yes and they struck through waxy mustaches as they tie damsels to train tracks. You're thinking of cartoons.

    Only a democrat could use the word "deprive" with a straight face when talking about NOT giving away as much of someone else's money.

    He's entitled to that money even though you work for it it's his by virtue of him being a person.

    The constitutional parable about the separation of chuch and state hasn't changed. Does church law TRUMP man's law? Bleeding heart liberals blood doesn't flow through the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Best to leave spiritually out of a politically centered debate. Reparations by definition aren't charitable donations either. Essentially they'd be monetary damages awarded to plaintiffs, without trial.

    The Corwin Amendment seems to have provided too little too late, and that's tragic considering how many hundreds of thousands of men on both sides were killed in the Civil War. It's especially sad considering that 'slavery' as a method that was necessary in agricultural economics throughout the majority of the entire world was headed toward obsolescence.

    Rapid advances in agricultural technology, transportation, and improved manufacturing processes would have made slavery an unsustainable, inefficient way of doing almost anything before World War I -- within about 50 years of the beginning of the Civil War.

    But, here's a look at the Corwin Amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corwin_Amendment

    You are wrong!

    Just ask the question in any search engine and start your campaign to have and rewrite history.

    I'm all a flutter hoping to see your progress!

    Actually, they were all democrats so they were sitting around waiting for Bernie Freeshit Sanders to give them freestuff.

    I don’t understand how it was too little too late. The states who had seceded had every right to ratify the Corwin amendment. But ignoring that, why would the states who had not seceded refuse to sign as well?

    You have already posted the reason the south seceded AND their reason for doing so, thus the war followed..

    That's what makes it so comical, well that and me imagining

    Well if you study history on the subject, a huge percentage of that slave workforce stayed on and a great number that left returned for economic reason..

    What are you talking about? The south didn’t need to go to war to save slavery. They only needed to sign the Corwin amendment. Why didn’t they?

    The text of the Corwin amendment:

    No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.

    I challenge you to provide one original source that lists the reason they didn’t sign as being because it didn’t state slave. That’s absurd.

    What did I say that confused you LOLOL? Do you see the word "Slave"?

    Some of the southern states were fine with the wording while some were suspicious, and the amendment failed to pass and as history show the war between the north and south ensued..

    No. Besides, it would be the Democrats that would have to pay all the money back and have to pay for the Civil War that they started so all of the rest of us would be entitled to getting money as well.

    They can barely keep their sanctuary cities running. They can't afford it.

    But our current gov't defeated the Democrat Confederates and kept the Union together so in the end, we all are better off. It never should have taken this long to get equal rights for all but Democrats stalled the process long after the war ended, sadly.

    If you actually studied history, you all would know Lincoln did not run for president by promising to END SLAVERY. However his actual promise was to NOT EXPAND SLAVERY WEST.

    The conflict rose between Kansas and Missouri and Lincoln ran on appeasing two factions. The rising abolitionist movement and the industry that relied on slave labor. The NORTH absolutley relied on slave labor, in particular those textile industries that were in the North. The people needed, mainly due to the lower cost of goods.

    Before you do gooder leftists think you are oh sooooo good, it is a lot like today. Where we pretend to be ignorant about the American factories in those countries whose labor laws are not like ours. The American public for instance, enjoys shopping at Walmart for the low cost.

    Loved how left wing commie hero victim of white capitalism kaepernick took that large contract from Nike to preach to us how good of a man he is for poor blacks here as Nike has their manufacturing factories in Vietnam.

    LOL at the pathetic left and all of their utter crap. Like how they all preach against the bad oil industry as they all rely on petroleum and act like they don't, along with every other thing made from those icky fossil fuels.

    LOL, the liberals are so pathetic .

    Anyway, Lincoln went back on his PROMISE and ended slavery with the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION and that was why Union General and democrap Mclellan ran against him.

    The democrats yelled and screamed that Lincoln was a war monger and liar. Hence the reason why the most famous actor on the planet Booth thought he would be received as a hero for killing the president.

    That was what that actor that played that gay pirate was referring to when he mentioned shooting Trump.
