“To look at me you will know someone survived at the bottom of a ship, shackled to a stranger, someone with whom he or she could not speak because the languages were not the same,” said Assembly Deputy Speaker Earlene Hooper (D-Nassau County). “Someone survived. We are the strongest people on the face of the earth to be able to survive a crossing of that type.”
Poor Ms. Hooper. She was chained to the bottom of a ship. All the melodrama set aside, you know what else can survive long voyages in the bottom of a ship, Ms. Hooper? Cockroaches. Also, parasites and many varieties of intestinal worms.
I don’t mean to be ugly, but I’m sick of hearing about “muh slabery”. None of these incompetent half-wits had to ever endure anything worse than a late welfare check.
Slavery in NYS ended in the 1830’S.
Think about that; instead of the “400 years of slavery” repeated ad nauseum by gibsmedats, NY had slavery for 50 years - and it ended nearly 200 years ago...
Not really: The slave “owners” just switched places. Now, whites are expected to toil away to keep these parasites in foodstamps and housing vouchers. How else can these poor slaves be expected to have the strength and rest necessary to get up at night to rob liquor stores, and rape old white women in the subway?
This proposition makes as much sense as enslaving current recipients of public assistance who have never paid taxes. I would support that as strongly as these people would like to attach themselves to my paycheck,
....and how many apparently white citizens today have a percentage of ancestry that were slaves, and how loudly will the left bowl about whites getting reparations?
I disagree. My Celtic ancestors were slaves to the Romans. I want reparations for that crime from 2,000 years ago, with interest. In fact, at one point the Romans considered Britons too stupid to be slaves. I lie awake nights burning over that ancient insult. I still weep for our murdered queen Boadicea. Only reparations from the Italians will make that right.
Except that the U.S. did not exist prior to 1776, when the Colonies declared their Independence... and then had to fight for it. If 'they', need to exact their own justice, go to Europe & deliver the bill.
But as Europeans were logistics & marketing, better head to Africa first, that's where the meat markets began...
These people have ruined AMERICA.
By the way, my ancestor was a subject to King Ludwig. By definition he was a slave.
It isn’t about “who would pay”.
It would be a DISASTER!!!
It would cause a second Civil War. A real SHOOTING war.
Reparations is the WORST possible threat to our nation.
We would ALL pay for it ....... in BLOOD.
Check out this link.
If the author is correct, pensions and other benefits actually cost more than the war did. That’s the cost in treasure. The blood spilled was priceless.

This is so they can avoid taking responsibility for their failures. By blaming today’s Whitey for things done by dead Whiteys, they avoid facing the FACT that their pathologies are self-inflicted.
Guilt does not pass through the genes. It does not jump from a guilty person to a person with a similar skin shade. Responsibility is not collective, it is for one and one individual only.
plenty of irish in metro NYC are going to get a windfall
We know what color meat deblasio likes! :)
The great irony will be the next step: upstate NY counties seceding from the state.
Reading this story I noticed that all the purveyors of this open pit of nonsense happen to have a (D) behind their names. Is that coincidence?
Mine served in the Union Army and survived. I’ll second your proposal.
Time to start looking for a place in Mexico? or Canada?
