How long before reparations are discussed?

[jimbo807]

I guess that within 6 months the subject will come up.

Opinions?

10 seconds after he takes the Oath of Office.

“Spread the wealth”

Reparations will guarantee racist attitudes for the next 500 years.

[Michigan Bowhunter]

Right after Jessie Jackson is appointed to the newly formed post as Secretary of Redistribution.

Maybe that women on YouTube (”I won't have to pay to put gas in my car or pay my mortgage”) wasn't so stupid after all.

[Robbin]

I think the trial balloon will go up before he takes office.
They use to want to pay no federal income tax, but under the new plan 50% of Americans won't pay federal income tax. And I would guess that 95% of AA would be in that category.

They will want monthly checks for life now....

Reparations, “Spread-the-Wealth” be thy name.

[Russ]

He has to buy and secure his votes for 2012 and reparations is one way to start.

The amount of idiots who voted Obama expecting him to sort their lives out and have him pay for them are going to be angerily disappointed.

Payback will be a bitch.

One-Way tickets and a lifetime supply of P. Diddy albums to all!

I think the dynamic of the discussion will be interesting. I mean, if whites voted him in as a way to finally “put it all behind us”, what will be the reaction from white Obama supporters to the demand for compensation for past sins?

Should be interesting if it comes up, which I think is highly likely.

[AppyPappy]

Why would he even think of such a thing? He has moved up.

Funny, they have been discussing it all morning on Opie and Anthony. Why aren't the Africans asked for reparations for enslaving the Jews. Egypt is part of Africa after all and who built the Pyramids?.

It tends to hush some of the callers who are for reparations. Lots of dead air after that is mentioned.

Last eve I got a text page from a friend... it reads:
Attn: White people please report to the cotton fields tomorrow at 6 am for orientation. -Obama

[dangerdoc]

I’m stepping out on a limb.

Obama will not now nor will he during the course of the next four years bring up reparations.

Clinton had to sign welfare reform.

A republican will have to sign reparations.

Feel free to discuss.

I could agree to a dollar as a symbolic payment if that would keep them from burning the cities.

Day one is the Executive order for Permission to "Kill the Babies".

Day Two will be to give the babies who live in poverty because Daddy is in jail and mommy is busy with her third child by a third father...food, shelter, clothing, babysitting service, healthcare for life....so they don't ever have any stress in their lives. After all, that baby you kept can be annoying...

It won't be phrased as reparations -- it will be couched in terms of economic justice and community reinvestment. Only poor, populous communities need apply.
