to the world, thanks to original inventor. 👍

Back to the black community. Otherwise this is just exploitation for the purposes of good PR

since governments were complicit in legalizing mass human rights violations, known at the time as business.

I just made up the phrase to describe some set of of listings of those most culpable, from individual owners to traders, to corporate 'shippers' to financiers.

I believe there are corporations still existing that were party to slaving 'businesses' at the time.

I want focus on my ancestors in America - 1932 until 2010.

Global doesn't help the neighbors in your backyard who were harmed by the 50 states. It also is easier for a 75 year old to explain the horrific regime that was Jim Crow (very specific to America) to their grandchildren.

Then again - I'm sick and tired of slave movies.

Selma and The Butler and Fruitvale Station good . . . 12 Years A Slave bad.

Every slice of ancestral history still sits in a larger context. Just sayin'.

We push back on the FDR was great and the 1950's were filled with awesome memes for a reason.

We for the most part were denied the ability to prosper due to Federally Mandated regulations in everything from where we were allowed to live to the penal interest rates and even what jobs were allowed to earn Social Security.

I can't believe I had to type that in this Group.

This is just known in this little corner of DU. And as an side - sundown integration and the raping of slaves could really screw up a slavery based reparation program.

This is a perfect example of modern times impact and reparations:

*Red Lining
*Interest Rate shenanigans
*Flat out denial of approval when all things are equal on paper

First - we only have to go back to 1932 for a framework for a basis of reparations.

Second - that could potentially hurt black descendants of American Slaves working at the company today, the liquor distributors, the liquor stores, etc etc.

The Federal Government created the framework - they own reparations.

Also, the United States as a whole profited from slavery, so the United States as a whole should pay reparations.

of posts. This being one of them.

Thanks for posting. K&R

Sometimes I need someone to cut through the carp and tell the truth. That's you. Still watching by the way. It's only a matter of time before someone's words bite them on the ass.

why was the 'truth' hidden in the first place? Ohhhh, I forgot. Never mind. Too many accomplishments of black culture from the continent of Africa to the american accomplishments of POC, during slavery and post, have either been stolen or downplayed with caveats. "Black Athena', 'Destruction of Black Civilization'. Two indispensible sources of the truth of who accomplished what, when, how and why. Thank God for Black Studies!!!!!!!!!!!!

They taught the Europeaners how to grow and harvest crops and survive in North America.

How were they repaid?


As their land was being slowly stolen, the King issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 which fenced property west of the of the Appalachia as Indian land bound by Indian law, and east as being for the colonies bound by Western law.

While the main white-washed exclude for the Declaration of Independence is cited as being taxation, the real driver was pressure placed on the citizens to encroach of Indian land, and the only way they could do that was to violate the king's orders, which required independence.


You'll often hear how the Democratic Republic was a new idea, that's why. They took the principles that the Native Americans used to maintain peace and trace between the various indian nations. The colonists met with Indians and were taught this form os state government.
