U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

(This post was last modified: 09-28-2016, 07:00 PM by The Drifter.)

My Grandfather (God Rest His Soul) was born iin 1913, came up through the depression and all that good stuff that happened in the 20's and 30's. Workd as a truck driver at the local stone quarry. At night he built his own house. Yeah it was a simple block house but he built it damn it. His wife mixed the motar for it. Oh, and he was a functional illiterate to boot. In 1948 he took a BIG chance and started his own business. He worked night and day to get it off the ground, one truck and a handful of men. That business survived the recession of the 70's and grew. He had a heart attack in or about 1972 and his son took it over. The Business grew even more. When he died in 93 he died a millionaire. Where was his white priviledge? He work his [BAD WORD REMOVED] off for everything he got. No one owed him anything and he owed no one. Oh, and he raised 5 kids in the process.
