The narrative is on the rails and rolling fast. The "Gimme" freebees crowd is in the wings ready for the checks to hit the mail box.I bet he was not even paid in cash for working the mines. My grandfather wasn't. My grandmother, who raised me a good portion of my childhood, lived in those "company camps" half her life, managed to get out, and told me a lot about it (we had plenty of time to talk). There are very few black people in America today who had grandparents who experienced anything closer to slavery than mine did. And if they do, they are probably recent immigrants from somewhere else.
After they blow through that it will be some other cockamamy that we somehow owe them something because of the thing.......that was the thing.
