The fact is the Democrats are responsible for 300 years of slavery, Jim Crow, Lynchings, murders, segregation, and a host of other evil ideas. If anyone is financially, ethically, and legally obligated to pay it is The Clintons, the Obamas, Joe Biden, and the small Socialist minds that have not yet grasped the fact that their membership in the Party is more like a past-due-bill.

Little difference in what the Democrats , now having renamed themselves ‘’progressives’’ are doing is a version of FDR’s internment camps for Japanese-Americans and the Nazis Nuremburg Laws. Boy. Thick as thieves the two all are really. Nothing changes with the Left.

I'm all in favor of making the Democrats pay reparations, since they are the ones who defended it.

While they're at it, they can also pay reparations for their attacks on Civil Rights activists and Republicans.

And, they can pay reparations for all of the murders that have occurred in the cities they run.

Never forget that the Democrats created the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan was created not only to terrorize and kill blacks but also to keep them from voting. They hated Catholics and Jews as well and today's Democrats putting that turbaned terrorist Omar in Congress and Irish Bob here shows their historic antisemitism. And they have the unmitigated call to accuse Republicans of voter suppression.

Taxpayers, last I knew, have spent over $22 trillion on the War on Poverty.

We gave at the office.

The worst part is that this is so outlandish, yet affirmative action is as well - and still passes somehow legal muster. We’ve spent half a century on “reparations” with no positive result (and many negative ones); I thought “reparations” was the rationale behind those schemes.

The fact that these scams are being publicly discussed is alarming because 1) it is a racially divisive plot, with no practical application (both perps and victims long dead), and 2) it is an acknowledgment that elites have given up on blacks ever assimilating (like American Indians) - and I mean EVER.

Al Sharptons unpaid back taxes would be a good start for the source of reparation money.

When is Robert “still used the n-word” Byrd (D-KKK)’s name going to be removed from every single structure that isn’t a sh!thouse?

How many Klansmen who Robert Byrd personally recruited for the Klan committed hate crimes (assault, vandalism, extortion, murder) using the card given to them by Klan Recruiter Robert Byrd, Democrat?

Bill Clinton said that you HAD to belong to the Klan in those days to get elected. Nope.

Take BJ Clinton’s name off everything too.

Put it on the tax form. “Would you like to contribute $5.00 to the Reparation Fund?”

I say let’s DO give them their reparations. Compensate them for what they lost as free Africans. Men and women get one loin cloth (sorry, nothing for up top, ladies). Men get one spear, women get a straw basket. That’s pretty much all they lost other than a straw or mud hut...so I guess we could throw in a basic tent.

Take them seriously. They would pass reparations if they could. In other words, they would seize Whitey’s money and give it to non-Whitey, thus allowing non-Whitey to blame all his self-inflicted failures on Whitey.

The little publicized fact that african tribes conquered one another and sold eqach other to slavers seems to have been overlooked by the libs and lib media.

Question #1-for me:

Will your ‘reparations’ include the BILLIONS of us taxpayer revenue, ALREADY thrown at programs, assistance, benefits, ed/health/housing/energy/employment consideration, etc. for US minorities in the past 45 years?

Or are we going back to square one AS IF nothing whatsoever has been accomplished and nothing has been done for people Liberals insist on calling ‘underserved’??

The families of those who died freeing the slaves in the civil war should get the money. The families of freed slaves should pay them.
