    I’m glad this is happening although “gifting back” isn’t what I would choose to call it; it was hers to begin with.

    Same thing with my family. The Howell family from Smith county forced off our land hundreds of acres during the oil boom in around 1920. Still fighting

    In 1939 a Mob of racists burned down Opal Lee family's home & took the land in Fort Worth, Texas. Eight decades later in 2024, she got back her family land.

    Well that happened 80 years ago. Somebody was robbed by a black person today. Can we have balance with our media race stoking?

      The blacks were brutalised for 400 years. Maybe you've to endure that long before asking for fairness.

      OK I'm game.
      So I am "The Whites"? Then My people have been suffering longer than your people.
      Us whites were enslaved in Egypt for instance. There was slavery in the first civilizations of Mesopotamia.
      I've been brutalized for 10,000 years!
      Wheres my Reparations.
      Oh wait.... lets see if RUclips hides my comment. Because they endorse and support racism and division, and hide any argument against it. Their selection in what comments they allow to show prove that every day.
