How about a discussion on repatriation? Start with illegals first. Then, for those feeling unjustly treated, offer them repatriation to their family homelands. Let’s see how many really want to return to Africa.

Democrats owned slaves. Democrats passed Jim Crow laws. Democrats fought against civil rights in the ‘60s. If this rancid history makes them feel guilty, Democrats should pay reparations.

Our family got to TX in 1868, after the Civil War. We gained nothing from slavery. Let those who did, pay.

And, yes, I’m next talking about African-Americans. They can become Africans, we can repatriate them back to their homelands, give them compensation for their ancestor’s slavery, then be done with them. Otherwise, they become Americans and stay. We need to put a stop to this “African-American” victimization. It is destructive to everyone.

Billions has been given to blacks in the last 20 years by the NWO. Through the Obama administration and the banking system before then. Just pushing more socialism.

> If the eligibility for reparations is to be determined partly based on “ancestry,” how is one’s relationship to enslaved or racially oppressed ancestors to be proven? <

No worries there. The Nazis had a system for determining who was a Jew, and who was not. Perhaps the reparations folks could just use that system.

Since slavery is on the Democrats and ended by Republicans, I suppose their liberal white guilt is involved here.

So they can feel free to share their own personal funds with anyone they so see fit. Regarding the rest of us, well, the best reparations we could give these people was to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of our people’s lives to free them.

i.e. we’re all good on that score.

Will Democrats be compensated for the value of the slaves that were confiscated from their recent ancestors?

I was surprised that candidate Hillary didn’t float this balloon publicly in 2016. There has been a touring advocacy activist campaign for it for the better part of a decade.

Even if it doesn’t pan out, a presidential nominee could count on votes for saying it.

Throw $$$ and the UN and they will mis-managed it.
This was the original plan Obama and Hillary cooked up.
Obama was going to manage it.

Look for this to be the plan again.

The vast casualty numbers from the Civil War should be enough, plus the Reconstruction after the Civil War. Then we have the Civil Rights Act etc.

I think enough is enough.

The democrats don’t really expect this sort of societal poison to become law (yet), but they have no problem flogging it to grab a bigger share of the free-stuff vote.

Some people point to reparations paid to Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II as a precedent.

But in that case, payment went to the actual people who were sent to the camps. Based on that precedent, then reparations would go to any former slaves still alive.
