Reparations for the slave trade

mardi 25 février 2014 à 13:00

Former plantation colonies of the UK want reparations for the slave trade.

The descendants of slaves in the US deserve reparations because the effects continue. Whether this applies to most of the countries in the Caribbean, I don't know, but Haiti certainly deserves reparations from France.

If Hillary Is the Only Candidate, Where Does She Stand on Keystone XL

If Hillary Is the Only Candidate, Where Does She Stand on Keystone XL?

I won't vote for a right-winger like Hillary Clinton. I did not vote for her husband in 1996 after I had seen what a right-winger he was, and I did not vote for Obama for the same reason. It was clear even in 2008 that he was talking about "Change" to avoid taking a stand for any important change.

I think it will be an advance if a woman can get elected president, just as it was an advance that a black man can get elected president, but I won't support a candidate because of that person's sex or race. Nor will I support the Democrats merely because Republicans might be worse. Voting for the "lesser of two evils" is a road to ever worse. If Ms Clinton is the Democratic candidate, I will vote Green (again).

I hope to have the chance to vote for Elizabeth Warren.
