Keating, Javits, and D'Amato voted for Senate Majority Leader candidates whose stated intention was NOT to make the then-current president a one-term president. The stated intention of the current Republican leadership is to make Biden a half-term president. Enough new Yorkers understand this to make a Republican Senator almost inconceivable.For governor, this impediment would not exist. |

Does anyone think that this group of pusillanimous politicians voting in lock step really give two shits about this Holiday? Watching the way the wind blows and coming down on the right side is so much more important. We truly are the saps. |

I wonder how a lot of BIG businesses will react to this (another Federal paid day off).During the years I was with Chase (1974 - 2008), in the beginning we had Election Day off as a fully paid holiday. I believe that a new Federal holiday was added (I think it was MLK's birthday) big businesses (not just Chase) took away Election Day as a paid holiday. I also recall that we also used to get Lincoln's birthday and Washington's birthday as Federal holiday's. Now all people get is Presidents Day. So you get a new Federal holiday but you might lose some other day (and now Manchin wants to make Election Day a Federal holiday). |

Nevertheless, it was lost as a paid holiday because there were too many paid holidays for big businesses to allow.I now remember that we were given 10 paid holidays (state and federal combined). It has been so long, are there still only 10 given? I realize it can vary from state to state and other factors. |

I'm sure there are some traceable descendants, but any effort to figure out realistic numbers is futile. So many people have come into the country since then, and marriages across succeeding generations likely results in today's population having miniscule percentages of slave lineage. The greatest majority of the population have no traceable roots to that era, either as slave owners, or even as residents of the country.LMAO at this nonsensical conjecture!! It's crazy how misinformed sentiments like this prevail in an era where we all have access to devices that can give us lifetimes of knowledge within seconds at our fingertips. The first census took place in 1790. There were censuses done in 1870, 1880, and 1890 that most African-American descendants of slaves show up on. As long as one of your parents is an African-American descendant of slaves, then you have a claim for reparations. Anyone who doesn't claim their American ancestry can take that up with the government of whatever country's ancestry they do claim, it's that simple. No traceable roots? False. Plantation owners were actually really good at keeping record of their “inventory”, and those very same records are accessible to this day at libraries and museums across America. The Mormon church in L.A. has a whole section dedicated to helping African-American descendants of slaves find their ancestors. Mormon church to make available records of 4 million freed slaves Do you think people who may have had ancestors that died fighting against slavery should bear any financial responsibility. Lol! If a mother died with debt, America would come after her children or estate. America is one of the most frivolous countries in the world when it comes to collecting debt of all facets no matter old that debt may be, but refuses to pay what is maybe its biggest and oldest debt, and has every excuse in the book why it won't, can't, and shouldn't. Do we owe money to any of the other groups who suffered under racial and ethnic discrimination they endured? America felt that Jewish people, Japanese people, and Native Americans did, and they all got paid, now it's time for African-American descendants of slaves to get that same piece of the pie. |

I guess we'll never know, but I'm more on the fatalistic side of things as it pertains to that.If you look at the history that we do know though, even though some black economic centers still exist, many were lost due to imperialistic pillaging and the contemptible implementation of shifty policies like eminent domain. |
