Listen, first clean up your post.
2nd: Back then living in America wasn't a pleasure, so take your flag waving and shove it. They weren't given a choice, the same choice you choose to exercise right now. Tobacco and shipping became the BIGGEST industry in the world at that time because of slavery, and all those companies that still exist, wether or not if the people who work there now have nothing to do with what went on.
Your ancestors might have had it rough, but yours weren't forced into being slaves. Yours weren't denied equal rights until about 30 odd years ago.
But yet the first person to die for YOUR rights as an AMERICAN and for what became the Proclamation of Independence and the Constitution
in the American Revolution wasn't one of "you's", it was a FREED AFRICAN.
Now, between the 1st President to the 15th, slavery prospered, the businesses then are those mentioned now. The 16th President put it in WRITING to abolish slavery and the Civil War was created by people who want to keep the Black Americans in chains. He even gotten assasinated by another so called American who wanted slavery to continue because of these same businesses was losing profit. From the 17th to the 37th President, the ammendments in place FINALLY took effect. So, in a nutshell, you have over 400 years headstart on indifference to the Black American for them to achieve equality. You think big business shouldn't compensate for SOMETHING for 400 years work they got for free?
Historically proven, the American Navy got so big back then not to patrol and keep America safe but to make bigger ships to carry SLAVES, financed by the BANKS for a percentage of the SLAVE trade, and morgaged the BOATS to the TOBACCO growers, who provided the cash. Now it is PROVEN through forensic evidence that these companies were there.
I want to see them squirm..
The Jews, who were persecuted and forced into forced slavery during the Holocaust, had their cases heard and many companies were caught profitting from them, and they got fined and had to pay compensation. Why not America's turn?
They have been doing it much longer than what they German's did to the Jews.
Your history lesson is over.
You just got 0wn3d.
*continue your debate, if you can.*
