Ok well since I'm half Irish and the British tried to starve my "People" I'm suing the boss. It does not matter that my mother is from Dublin and only came here in 1967. Nor does it matter that I have cousins serving in the British Army. Fuck them I want to get paid. I'm also half Italian so i need to find somebody to sue there. Why am I bringing this up...because that dumbass Conyers is trying that reparations shit again.
First off what does this have to do with what is being discussed in this thread??? or what is going on financially in america at the moment? You still have not learned the ways of your government, nor the inherent corruption in business, government and society.
To answer your question on whether you deserve compensation....The system of slavery was one of the most egregious example of corruption, greed, fraud, and ruthlessness (I won't even delve into the humane issue). This system was designed for maximum profit and minimum investment. It allowed unscrupulous practices, abuses, and assured that the wealthy remained wealthy at all costs and the poor remained poor with no redress or say whatsoever to anyone insofar as legally addressing/stopping/correcting the corruption that was the norm of the day/time. Like today the poor were deprived, beaten down, taxed and forced to pay substantially more for their everyday needs than the wealthy. The enslaved and abused for the sake of making land owners wealthy were never looked upon as human or as a people who should have concern expressed for them. As a matter of fact to keep the system working as it did (meaning keeping the business and property owners rich) laws of all types were enacted to make sure the poor remained so in order to keep the wealthy rich, the poor did the work while the rich lavished themselves, the poor paid taxes (highest) while the rich jumped through loopholes, rich property owners paid off congressmen, senators, representative of one sort or another for the sake of gaining greater profits or more property that otherwise would be impossible. As you can see NOTHING has changed in america in the mindset that the RICH somehow are deserving of benefits at ALL COSTS and the poor should be given no concern. Your comment that reparations being brought up by Conyers is somehow WRONG expresses perfectly the lack of concern for those who are without...yet the 15 BILLION america gives to Israelis every year is OK even though america did nothing in regards to their supposed holocaust and you speak nothing of it.... This mindset you express (once again) is a perfect example of what I just said about not seeing a people as human and expressing no concern for them or their lives. Despite the long history of abuses to this enslaved population in america and the massive capital made off of them you still think and have been made to think, that they are UNWORTHY of receiving anything for their labors and their continued repression by a system set on making maximum profit off of them at all cost.
Now I have brought all of this up to make you and those who think like you, aware of the fact that all of the corruption and failures and depression that you see happening in america in particular is due to catering to the wealthy businessmen/crook AT COST to the masses. When a system is allowed to run a muck like the one that has been in effect in america for a couple hundred years, this is the end result. The system is now turning the slave owners children/descendent's into slaves and impoverished vagabonds!!!!(maybe this is a good thing) The homes and property the masses may have managed to acquire, the bank accounts and savings they have amassed, the investments, the hopes and dreams and all their wishes have in a night, been stolen, grabbed,taken away...and despite all, you still turn to the least to vomit on them. Given all of the TRILLIONS now given to the corrupt business lately and the multiple bailouts that have done nothing, and the execs walking away with hundreds of millions and in some cases BILLIONS (Madoff) why are you not angry with them?
because you have been bred to think little if anything about the population you have been made to see as less than human. It would have been a lot cheaper to have given the reparations to the African American population in america and thereby close that open wound, since they are the real spenders in america they would have made sure that the money was spent toward the economy as oppose to having it shuttled off to off shore accounts and swindled off to Swiss and Israeli banks..
So far as your claim of suing the boss...Knock yourself out...last time I checked what transpired between the English and the Irish happened in Europe...not america!!! so you need to take your matter up with England and any anger you may have against the English for their actions can and should be voiced against the English and their ruling party. If the English have capitalized off of the Irish then rightfully so you have every right to get what is due to you and "your people", but don't turn on another people to profane their struggle to right a horrendous history of profit, greed, gain at their expense.
BTW many of the violators of human rights and the gainers of much wealth in america were the Irish, Scottish, English and the Israeli so maybe financial downfall effecting so many nations is s a bit of POETIC JUSTICE...
