You know what I find truly entertaining about the whole "you owe us forever because slavery" rhetoric? I cannot recall anyone trying to pump the tribes--more than a few of whom definitely owned slaves--for reparations over that. You'd think that someone would have lined up a shot on at least the tribes with the casino revenue coming in.

It's the old "but white people should know better" casual racism.

There's a few hoteps who will claim "tribes owned slaves so you owe us forever too", but again, they get shouted down because Americans are quite aware that Native Americans got a raw deal in this country and if a hotep has the gall to claim blacks were treated worse, IT WILL NOT END WELL for them.

Black people also owned slaves.

I basically just insinuate to these types that if they still believe themselves to be inferior slaves people will gladly let them work for free.
