To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery in the U.S. and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865, and to establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendation to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.

there is no legitimate claim.
Since when has legitimacy stopped the lying, putrid, leftist, democrats from doing what they want. They need to be out of government and FAST!
Don’t forget about affirmative action and the many other race based organizations in our country.
If reparations were paid do the states that were not states have to pay them? What about the states that didn’t hold slaves? I strongly believe that any American living today that took part in slavery should pay.
Good precedent .... the “wronged” get reparations. Wait till I send them the bill for a few trillion dollars they are taking away from me and my friends. Our “bill” will be a helluva lot bigger than this “reparation” bill. (’course we’ve got to get a conservative or two to get into office first).
This reparations crap is nonsense. No black person alive was ever a slave, and to claim they were somehow effected by that period of our history is nothing but an EXCUSE for their own failure to make something of themselves.
It isn’t.
Obeyme and even more Dems are now in charge of the Hill, so this bill most likely will pass now - given that the sycophantic liberal media will look the other way, and the White House is so adept at diversion.
Wow - I never would have seen this coming...
Tipping point, perhaps?
Who knows any more...I thought everything this administration did so far was an “April Fools”!
I guess they’ll overlook the most persecuted groups in all history and still today:
-Jews
-Christians
If only the American public new the TRUTH about slavery:
-White Christians died to save them
-Muslims enslaved and brutally murdered 90% of them.
-Blacks had slaves
-Americans treated slaves as family

The total liberal bias BS in the text books is enough to make me sick!
That is what kills me about all these “race doesn’t matter” folks. It is about race and there will never be “enough” till whitey is subjugated and poverty stricken.
Reparations are already in the “Stimulus” Package.
So, not enough white blood was shed during the Civil War ?
A Minority’s Minority is NOT in charge here, I hope. The Majority is going to perform repreations on Congress for anyone who votes on this .
Doesn't matter to Blacks. If your white, you should pay. Doesn't matter if you are Polish, Ukrainian, or some other white person who was never involved in slavery.
I sure would like to see them include Muzziers on their reparations list. Enslavement of blacks is still legal in the sandbox where the Koran is the order of the day.
To all reading this:
How many times have you heard in the last few years, “Congress will never do that, ot vote for that, or make that a law,” or “No way will they push for that,” or something to that effect.
Don’t be too sure that they won’t try to pass this.
Who will benefit from this though? They have already wrapped up all the votes the money would go to, and it will throw the moderates to the right so fast it will make their heads spin.
Other than the tax paying workers who will be forced to support this.
Get em off their lazy a$$e$$ and put them to work.
Our only hope is a catastrophic train wreck!
And, what about all those Irish immigrants who were brought in to dig the canal and died in New Orleans because the slave owners didn’t want their slaves to die? Where is the reparations for their toil and death? I want my money and I want it NOW!
