Investment Watch – by Mark Angelides
In what may be the latter stages of absolute lunacy, BLM organizer Ashleigh Shackelford, has written an article that boils down to: white folk need to hand over all their land, money and possessions if they want to help…All of it! Her ridiculous rant gets to the heart of why a movement that could have been a force for good is now nothing more than a hate mob with one fist raised and the hand held out.
Writing in the Wear Your Voice website (tagline: “Intersectional Feminist Media”), Shackelford’s pleasantly points out that:
“Nothing you have is yours. Let me be clear: Nothing you have is yours. Also, Let me be see through: Reparations are not donations, because we are not your charity, tax write off, or good deed for the day. You are living off of stolen resources, stolen land, exploited labor, appropriated culture and the murder of our people. Nothing you have is yours.”
And here’s why she is so incredibly wrong.
Even if she had a point that those who were involved in slavery owed everything they had to black folk, how do we actually manage this?
- Not all white folk’s families were in America when slavery was around. As the MSM are fond f promoting: “This is a nation of immigrants” so how far back do we go? If a person with white skin moved to America last year and bought a house and land, should they hand it over? What about 10 years ago, twenty? How do you define who has benefitted from slavery?
- Do we count the white slaves? There were a lot of indentured Irish at the same time as black slavery, and although the legal rights of each were different, they both worked and spilt their blood and broke their backs to “build” the nation. Should they get a half share?
- What about black families that arrived after slavery? For example, let’s say a couple arrive from Europe and settle down in America, do they have rights to reparations? What if they arrived 30 years ago, do their children get money and land?
- How about black slave owners? Do we have to trace black folk’s lineage back a couple of hundred years to make sure that they didn’t own slaves themselves? If they did, do they also have to hand over their land?
While I can appreciate Ms Shackelford’s passion for this; I can’t neither support her conclusions nor her demands. We all need to be working hard to ensure that every American gets equality of opportunity, but she seems to want to drive a wedge between races, and this does not help anyone.
The ravings and rantings of a deranged, delusional, shallow, low IQ, feral ghetto dweller. She can STFU.
My family never owned slaves. So, if you want anything I own (which in this country really is nothing when you think about it), then come and try to take it from me “Ms Shackelford”, you self-righteous little bitch!
She would be correct in the statement but not her explanation. You do not own anything because you never paid for it. You gave them federal reserve notes and that is not payment. It is an IOU. A promise to pay…some day. That’s why they gave them to us. An IOU for all the gold and shit they have stolen from us.
On the voice of reason.
The article title has some truth.
In all truthfulness I didn’t read the article in full.
Because its just more bullshit.
But what I can say….
Is if you pay property taxes …
The land is not yours.
The bank account you have.
Is not yours…
Simply by a click of a mouse or loss of electrical power.
But the bright side of everything.
Is that we are deemed stewards of the land by our creator.
Even though it can never be ours.
To nuture , love, and produce and change the environment to give mother nature a hand.
Rather then a kick her in the azz.
It’s called…
Balance.
True dat, but I don’t think she was thinking that deeply. I see this as being generated from that entitlement mentality with an extreme vengefulness born of an ignorance as to whom the real enemy is. So whitey is gettin’ all the blame. I wish I’d felt more anger about it but instead I felt a deep sadness because I kept thinking of my father and the hard work of his hands and the two or three jobs he had just to keep the family up and runnin’.
We are all SO VERY WORTHY of the fruits of our labor and intelligence, regardless of how any system classifies ownership. For now, we have these false documents, some called deeds or titles, etc. I don’t know how it will all play out in the future, but I hope each can protect what he or she earned and somehow be able to pass it down to whomever he or she chooses to. Otherwise, and as most here already know, it’s party time for The State and its already bulging coffers. What a complicated mess – and getting harder and harder to manage with the fires of division being stoked behind the scenes.

Thank you for pointing out white indentured servants (and not just Irish, either). Gee do I have to write a book about this? Folks if you are Irish or Scots-Irish, you have an automatic defense against these BLM, Antifa and other idiots who think all whites today must “owe” all blacks something….folks no black in any way shape or form is getting a penny outta me, a descendant from a Scots-Irish indentured servant!
hmmm …I wonder if she is on Soros’ payroll
well that didn’t take long…hahaha…. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/08/16/hacked-soros-memo-baltimore-riots-provide-unique-opportunity-reform-police/…. ” George Soros’s Open Society Institute viewed the 2015 Baltimore unrest following the death of Freddie Gray as opening a “unique opportunity” to create “accountability” for the Baltimore police while aiding activists in reforming the city, according to hacked documents reviewed by Breitbart Jerusalem:………The documents further confirm that the Open Society last year approved $650,000 to “invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement.”
And another thing–black Buffalo soldiers helped steal NATIVE AMERICAN land from the Comanches…so there! Reference: Fort Davis National Historic Site, Fort Davis, Texas.
Nevermind that African blacks (as shown in the miniseries “Roots” among other things) captured and sold their fellow Africans into slavery for money. Maybe Shackleford should look into her own ancestry…maybe she will discover that she is descended from a SLAVER African family! But of course she won’t!
Cutting through all the bullshit, her and her gaggle of thieves are welcome to come and take it. There is no quicker way do end this daily onslaught of commie bullshit than to just wipe them out. I welcome to opportunity to do so with legal justification.
Lawful justification, eh?
What a arrogant bitch! Try to take my stuff and you will only get a .556. People like you are the reason why there is racism in the world. You are the problem.
Give this man a prize!
The real source of racism IS found in the generational resentment and bitterness among the Negro population in this country. The hatred for “whitey” is passed down from parents and grandparents to children, and is played upon by zionist manipulators to encourage race baiting hucksters like Sharpy Sharpton and Jesse “spit in Whitey’s food” Jackson. The ignorance that is built into the majority of black folks is a real shame. I hold no ill-will towards ANY man of good will and a peaceable heart – I truly hope this does not wind up in a racial conflict – in that instance, it becomes extremely difficult to tell friend from foe on the battlefield.
