I mentioned this briefly on the Miscellaneous section and it's hilarious on what people come up with.
Look what he says:

One of the speakers was Reverend Kevin Peterson, who wants to rename Faneuil Hall marketplace due to Peter Faneuil, the wealthy merchant who built it, being a prominent slave trafficker in the 1700s.
'We call sincerely and with a heart filled with faith and Christian love for our white churches to join us and not be silent around this issue of racism and slavery and commit to reparations,' he said.
I think i'm going to ask for reparations from the Otoman empire. When i'm done with that, i'm going to ask the Prime Minister of Italy to pay me for damages caused by the Roman empire.

Well, I want reparations from all you Yankees. Brits (along with Canada) would have had all America except for those Patriot guys." Wait till I hit my southern hubby with that tonight. :eek:

I might agree to giving some sort of monetary compensation to blacks (since I am part black), but it must FOLLOW the various Afrikan Nations first giving such compensation. I mean, after all, it was those blacks living in Afrika who raided nearby villages, captured the peoples of those villages, marched them to the ocean, and sold them to slave traders waiting off shore.

Start with their paying up, and I might agree to us paying up.

I would not give reparations to the black people for I had nothing to do with slavery, and do not support it, and no person is guilty for what other people do.

I do not care if your father is Hitler if you do not go along with him then you are not guilty.

If it is white guilt then all races are guilty of slavery.

How come they do not say black guilt if a black person robs a store, or does a drive by shooting, for it is the same concept, and the same thing.

God said the father shall not bear the sins of the son, and the son shall not bear the sins of the father, for everyone shall bear their own sins.

I think they should cry to the Africans for reparations.

I would think living in America is reparations enough for millions of black people do better than millions of white people.

Concerning the subject of slavery as told by the Africans what they are told about the history of slavery is that the white people did not go in to the interior of Africa to get the black people but they were brought out to the coast for white people to buy as well as any nation that wanted to buy them.

Which Africans were selling black people of tribes they conquered so they were their enemies.

The black people might of wanted to go with the white people taking their chances, because they were not their enemy to escape their enemies in Africa that might have mistreated them, or eaten them.

And who gets in trouble more the drug dealer or the drug user, so black guilt seems to be more appropriate than white guilt.

The white people were the first people in the history of mankind to end slavery with England in 1833, France in 1848, and America in 1865, and they led the charge to end slavery in the world.

Also they still sell slaves in Africa as they sold them hundreds of years ago pointed out by many black people who seek the truth, but they are not sold to white people anymore.

Also there were black people that owned slaves but how could they do that if all the black people were slaves, and Native Americans owned slaves.

Africans will tell you the true history but the Democrat party wants division among the black and white people, and division among people in general for that is part of their agenda so they will not tell the truth.

Black Harvard Sociologist Orlando Patterson said, America, “is now the least racist white-majority society in the world; has a better record of legal protection of minorities than any other society, white or black; offers more opportunities to a greater number of black persons than any other society, including all of those of Africa".

Author Kathleen Brush visited 114 nations during the course of her “racism” research and has found what common sense informs us: The United States is among the least racist countries on Earth.

She said, after studying racism the world over for more than 10 years, “I know what systemic racism looks like it is opposite to the United States”

Black people have it better in America than any other nation on earth.

Also white privilege, and systemic racism is a meaningless thing to say for black people will favor black people, and all races will favor their own people.

So why do the black people cry if white people favor white people when black people will favor black people playing the same game and you know they do.

The white people are not doing what the other races have not been doing, or have done.

America's ethnic diversity testifies against white privilege, and systemic racism, for the other ethnic groups in positions of authority, and status might give their own people favor, or at least play fair.

The only way white privilege, and systemic racism can be true is if all the other races said we will only give the white people favor, and not care about our own people, which they will not do.

America's ethnic diversity testifies against it.

When people generalize a whole race as being bad their are either mad so they blame them all, or they are being arrogant exalting their own race and saying we are better.

I am white but I do not defend white people, and I am a man but I do not defend men, but I play fair, and whoever is right I defend them.

If everybody did that then the battle between races, and gender, would cease for they would play fair instead of trying to exalt their race, or gender, even to the point of believing lies, and making up lies, and generalizing.

God said they accuse and excuse for they will accuse, and then make excuses for their own selves all the while all races act the same.

If reparations are paid to the black people then everybody should be looking for reparations to what happened to their people including the millions of white people that were slaves to the Arabs in the 9th century which all races have been done wrong by other races during the course of history.

Reparations to the Native Americans makes sense but not to the black people.

Like I said let them get reparations from the Africans that sold them to whatever nation wanted to buy them.

The major Atlantic slave trading nations, in order of trade volume, were Portugal, Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and Denmark.

Several had established outposts on the African coast, where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.

It was the Atlantic Slave Trade not the white people invade your land and take your people campaign.

No need to get serious, especially with people who can't think clearly.
What's sad is that "politicians" take these comments seriously too and create new laws or policies.
This is what's known as the Woke virus. :D
It's just something that has to happen and run its course.

The days for reparations are long gone. Blacks in America have been more than adequately compensated through Affirmative Action and various compensation arrangements. And it is the wealthy blacks (especially the drug dealers) who should be giving "reparations" to their poorer fellows. This whole business of reparations is insanity, especially when you see what DEI and CRT are doing to America. Those who demand reparations should first pay back to taxpayers all the welfare payments they received. This demand by black churches to white churches is simply outrageous, and I trust someone will be telling these people to pound sand.

The toilet paper shortage should've alerted the citizenry of the power of the media to manipulate the public. Look at how smug they have become in this ability that they are well aware of. Why we keep paying them real money for fake product let alone paying them any attention, I'm still trying to figure out.

Ha!! I often annoy my BIL with that one. I tell him outside America you all are Yankees. All in good fun. Though he and my sister did have quite an argument when they first married. They were going to hang the US and Canuck flags on their house. My BIL insisted that the Canadian flag had to be lower that the US flag because no flag could be equal with the US flag. That irked her so much I though she was gonna hang HIM off the side of the house. lol

No one in my past family ever owned a slave.
The were to poor.
Never took charity or handouts.
Worked hard for everything they got.
I do not owe anybody anything.
People need to stop the whining and be thankful for all God has given them even though none deserve it.

Exactly!

They'll call you racist for that and me too for agreeing with what you just stated.

Yeah, but you crackers over there have been benefiting from being crackers so you people need to pay up! :eek:

When Filipinos started emigrating to the US, we weren't well received, but you know what? We got over it!

I don't think the Black Eyed Peas are Filipinos.

It doesn't matter what race one is, when they move to a place where other races are in the majority they will not be received well until a few generations pass.

If white people moved to the Philippines they would not be well received either so this is how it usually works out.

When immigrants start flooding a country, they will not be well received. Filipinos have practically replaced Americans and Canadians in many jobs.

There was a time when immigrants were not flooding countries, and no one had a problem with qualified people applying for legal immigration and then seeking to integrate into the new culture. But that is not the case any more. Too many immigrants refuse to integrate and do not wish to be real citizens of a new country. Indeed, Muslim migrant invasion is a part of Jihad -- war against the infidels.

Now the flood of millions of illegals in America is waging war against law-abiding citizens. A Latino judge in Texas simply released a bunch of terrorists for invading Texas a few days ago. Now they know they are untouchable even if they slaughter Texans. And the cartels are also waging war at the same time.

Filipinos only comprise 1% of the entire USA population, so how is it possible that we've practically replaced Americans and Canadians in many jobs?

One thing I do believe we have going for us is that we can adapt well to any country we work in and we are good workers. On top of that, we're often cheerful. I have relatives working all over the world!

I think all the illegal immigrants are being encouraged by the globalists working at every level of government in all the well-to-do countries. I think they're doing it to destroy national identity and culture which would help render that country less patriotic and unable to fight back when the one-world government kicks in.

It is definitely a sign that the great tribulation will happen in our lifetime. I'm sorry that I can't cheer you up and say that things will get better. They're actually going to get worse before Jesus comes back and make things better.

How far back can this reparations nonsense go? Almost every people on Earth have been wronged in the past. I get Germany paying Jews of that generation, but paying people many generations removed from the wrong? NONSENSE!

As far as I'm aware, most Filipinos tend to be here legally... it's not like you can just walk here from the Philippines.
(Not to mention they used to be a U.S. colony... so they speak English, and are influenced by American culture. We even fought side-by-side in WW2.)

If most are here legally, then that should resolve most related issues.
(There may be a few here on expired visas, but I think most are here legally... and the majority of Filipinos counted in demographic statistics were born here. They're American citizens.)

Culturally, they tend to blend into American society pretty well, and be family oriented, and hard working, and make good additions to our citizenry. They come here knowing English, their homeland is Christian, their homeland is deeply influenced by Western culture and tradition, they tend to have old fashioned values, and their culture even precludes them from being particularly argumentative. (There are a lot of Filippinos in these forums who seldom speak at all, let alone argue. That's their culture.)


If there are some here illegally, or involved in crime, then they should be dealt with the same as anyone breaking the law.
However, most Filipinos and quite old-fashioned, and I think they would agree with this.
