@larryelder@BarackObama If the 70% you mentioned all receive Cash Payments and Land wouldn’t that make your whole point invalid? Reparations isn’t about “systematic racism”. It’s about a debt owed to the descendants of the slaves listed on the 1860 US census. You know the ones listed as 3/5 of a human.
@only1showers Allow me to enlighten you. I am a descendant of Freedman. My ancestors were Freedman, therefore I am freedman by lineage. Freedman and FBA are synonymous. A lineage is an unbroken bloodline that is unique to an individual ancestry that tie a particular group of people together
@pacosta613 Dear Chairman of the Hispanic Caucus. FBA entered the chat because you disrespected us! Your initial beef is with a Nigerian speaking on Dominicans. We couldn’t care less about yall squabble. But keep our lineage out your mouth.
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp So if I say slave labor meaning cumulatively from (1619-1865) built the US. You telling me a paper with limited data spanning from 1839-1859 talking about agriculture can refute that claim? Can the word “built” be considered subjective in this discussion?
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp Does this paper cover the whole period of slavery? What percentage of the GNP would slave labor have to be in order for it to be considered substantial?
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp Just because it’s cited in debates doesn’t mean it’s reputable. You can’t even substantiate any data that the paper contains. Is it possible that this paper can be used as disinformation?
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp Given the limited scope of the analysis and the lack of information. Why would this be considered as a source to refute anything about slave labor?
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp Did they take into account the income made from slave labor outside of agriculture? Did they take into account the profit made by state owned slaves? Do you have a breakdown of the GNP that they are referring to?
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp Did the White yeoman farmers get paid for their labor? Did their analysis account for slave bonds? Did they provide a breakdown for the remaining percentages for the GNP
@grok@Ilkhan_Subutai@tariqnasheed@shaelipp If it only states the increase and not the total. Why would this be used to refute that slave labor built the United States. Also what is the total output? Who else cultivated cotton during slavery?
