When we talk bout execution I think it's wrong to execute people if they are guilty and when they're innocent at the same time cuz tracing back to 70years ago we'll agree twas a coal train they were using then and Infact Generator started first manufacture bout 30years ago little wonder our forefathers found it hard eating orange with a Spoon

Granted they aren’t the same party anymore but that doesn’t change history

What matters more is what the Democratic Party is today.

The present Republican Party is ideologically the same as the previous Democratic Party.

Just like the “Central Park Five”.. The movie ‘When they see us’ comes into my mind when I see stories like this.

Those behind the pardon are not mentally fit to cohabit with other homosapiens.

How on earth can a mentally stable homosapien think of granting state pardon to convicts who were summarily excecute long before they were born.

US is a society of absurdities and abnormalities

People are posthumously pardoned all the time not just in America. It’s a symbolic gesture often requested by the families of people who feel they were wrongly convicted or executed by the state to give them a sense of justice. I know say we no get time for these kind things for Naija so I can forgive your ignorance about it.

That's why I like the U.S. Democratic Party. It's always trying to correct bad policies and laws that target Blacks.

Democrats where the biggest slave traders and went to war to stop the abolishment of slavery.

Democrats founded the KKK

Democrats are still racist, they just just found a more tactical way of holding the black man down with welfare and government dependency.

Cue the words of LBJ “I will have those niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years”

Or Joe Biden “If you having hard time not voting for me then you ain’t black”.

Read the piece before spilling your hogwash.

The family of the executed men requested for it.

It gives the victims' families some sort of closure.

This is what the racists in the republican party meant by the good ol' days. Days when they could do anything they want and get away with it. Never again.


Do you know it was the republican party that fought to end slavery, and the democrats fought against it. All the politicians that fought against slavery were republicans.
The Democrats as always being a woke party, right from the beginning and up till now.

For the naija person relocating to USA, r.i.p in advance.
Don't deceive yourself, racism still dey kampe for Yankee dem country.

What is the difference between racism and ethnicity? the former deals with the physical colour of the skin while the lather deals with cultural identity, can you compare the current ills of racism in the US and ethnic bigotry in Nigeria, your answer is as good as mine. Nigeria is plagued with a landmine of ethnic superiority which is much worse than that of the US, at least the Americans know they have a problem and are working towards eliminating them unlike ours that we don't even know exists.

But has Igbos also apologise for those unjustly killed during the first coup d'etat of January 15, 1966? Those victims were equally father, husband or children of someone. Good morning.

Igbos didn't kill anyone neither did they plan any coup. Soldiers did. It has nothing to do with the ethnic group. Even the said plotters were drawn from different ethnic groups. Whatsoever was the intentions of the plotters has nothing to do with the Igbo people. Deal with the plotters and leave igbos alone. This lie has been taken too far for too long

Too little too late.
However atleast its better than nothing and their names are cleared.
Virginia is redneck central of usa right? I hear theres alot of inbreds n incest out that way.
Chai. Its sad all those innocents who were killed cos of their skin colour.
Ill never in my life understand how some people think that a little melanin makes somebody different to them as a human being or lesser than them. Like who came up with that idea in the very first place. I often wonder which single white man decided that black people were inferior n shouldnt be treated as equals or humanely. Like surely one man got this idea in his head and persuaded or discussed it with his friends or work colleagues (bk in those days) n they all decided to go enslave the blacks. Like wtf were they thinking. Its a cruel world but those days were more barbaric

I guess maybe their descendants are alive n wanted it or just so that in future history their names are cleared. Its too little too late i agree but atleast its something i guess

Pardon kill una brain there...


Wicked pale skinned pigs and done worse to the entire humanity than brown skinned people can ever do even in a thousand years.


Racism
Slavery
Genocide
Wars
Global warming
ETC

All races have done bad things.
Yes whites did slavery. But theyve enslaved each other too. As have blacks.
Look at the awful things happening in naija. Skull mining. Baby factories. Corruption etc.
Mexico have one of d highest rates of murders thanks to cartels. They have major play in world drug trafficking. Human trafficking.
Asians. Look at north korea. No need to explain.
Whites have bikie gangs n kkk nazis etc. African americans kill each other look at chicago n such places all the gang killings of each other.
The world has ben barbaric and brutal since the first sin.
Rapes. Murders. Human Sacrafices. Trafficking of drugs n humans. Kidnappings. School shootings. Pedophilia. Every race has done bad things. To their own and to others.
And thats not because of their race its because of the individuals who particapate in these acts. Simply it comes down to a persons character not their skin colour. Any person with bad character is capable of evil

Try to read up. The old Democratic Party that supported slavery isn't the same as today's Democratic Party. It's only the same in name but different in people, ideology and policies.

The link below explains more;

I don't understand why you thought welfare was created for Blacks when, in fact, whites benefit from it more!

Cue the words of LBJ “I will have those niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years”

Are we talking about Party or individuals? Of course, there may still be racists in the Democratic Party and the Party doesn't support or endorse racists, unlike the Republican Party.

Regarding the quote, there's no evidence that LBJ said that. Read this for more info;
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-voting-democratic/

Or Joe Biden “If you having hard time not voting for me then you ain’t black”.

This is the real quote, "If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump then you ain’t black".

I personally didn't see anything wrong with that quote. He meant that, it was almost impossible to see a Black person voting for a known racist like Trump (also from a racist Party).

It caused unnecessary backlash, Biden apologized and Blacks still voted for him overwhelmingly.
