Dominican Republic Jews
I didn?t realize till today that the DR offered visas to 100,000 Jews from Nazi Germany in 1938. Only 5000 were actually granted and few made it out of Germany to the DR but the offer was made none the less. The Jews who did get there were given 82 acres,at lease ten cows,one mule,one horse, and a loan of $10,000 US at 1% interest. (Sounds like a generous offer especially to people running for their lives).

Damn slaves in the US barely got 40 acres an a mule. But they did get plenty of burning crosses in the yard to keep them warm. 0 -
That?s more than your people in the internment camps got.[V] 0 -
Sounds good to me...82 acres, ten cows, a horse and $10k i 1938 dollars a great deal... 0 -

Why do they have to be damn slaves? You write like a hate monger abolitionist activist. And who gave them 40 acres and a mule? And, what is 'plenty' of burning crosses when there were millions of black Americans in the country? Again, written like a hate monger activitst, Yosh.0 -
In the 1970's I had a Vietnamese technician working under me. His paycheck was higher than mine so I had to ask him about that one day.
US government brought him over as the war was about to end. He was given 7 years of no taxes, 1% loans on house and car . I don't know what else, but I found that to be a very big step up for the carrier of a working man. Seems like being a white male natural citizen is a hell of a handicap in America.0 -

Don't forget to add a property owner. I am going to get a 2.3% raise in my property taxes because the people of my county here in NC voted for a bunch of garbage. Most either didn't know jack about how it will effect them or didn't care[:(!]0 -
kimi - I didn't mean "Damn Slaves" in the derogatory sense. It was more along the way "Smokey" in "Friday" said it. I guess I should've put it like "Damn..."
What the history books lied about the 40 acres and the mule?
They also didn't get the burning crosses in the yard either? Damn...
jimdeere - What was it like $10K in the '80s?0 -

Yosh, to my knowledge, everytime a cross burns regardless of where it is at, the world hears about it for days on end, yet when hate crimes are against white people the media shuts the news down as soon as possible, or doesn't acknowledge it at all. Some things never change, hence the Lynch Whitey Only Movement in America put on by the likes of the BLM and other hate groups, unless they heel or join their NAZI like crusade.
I don't recall that 40 acres and a mule was a benefit for freed slaves, but I don't have all of the facts either. I do recall that Dishonest Abe supposedly stated that they could "root, hog, or die"...which was the standard for everyone as far as I know.0 -
My Great grandfather was given 40 acres to homestead here in northern lower Michigan for his service during the C.I.V.I.L. war between our states. He did not get a mule.
I am very grateful to our country for this, as it took him away from the state of New York, where he came from.[:)]
As for all of the land given to Jews to live in the Dominican Republic?? I did not think that country had that much land in its entirety, let alone give it away to foreigners??0 -
Government has a minority farm loan program going on primarily aimed at Asian farmers . No income tax and 1 to 2% interest loans good for 7 years It can be rolled over and the clock reset on the terms of the loan by selling the business to a family member before the end of the 7 year period . Know one Vietnamese fellow whose extended family owns about 20 poultry operations stretching from Texas and Louisiana to North Carolina. Sure wish us white majority folks could get a handout like that 0 -

Maybe they were educated and the DR thought they'd wind up contributing.0 -
