Several cities and states, including some jurisdictions with White majorities, are backing the explosive idea of giving Blacks reparations in recognition of slavery and racism in the nation’s past.
But supporters of the idea have not reached a consensus about how reparations would work.
The politically charged idea of sending checks to all Black people remains on the table. But most plans, such as a measure approved by the St. Paul, Minnesota, City Council in February and a bill in the U.S. House, do not go that far.

Do blacks deserve anything from wealth by Europeans (like: West Europeans such as Irish, Germans, French, Italian, or East Europeans like Poles, Jews, and others], arriving in the US after slavery period?
Do Haitian and other Blacks, with zero 'slavery in America's link qualify?

Wouldn’t a race war be cheaper?
Give ‘em rifles, ship ‘em back to Africa, and let them settle accounts with the descendants of those who captured and sold their ancestors into slavery.
Don’t worry about the money.
Those eternal, government printing presses just keep churnin’ out the green.

Tucker had a valid point against Biden's raising taxes, what for? Just keep on printing.
Don’t know.
I’m feeling black today.
Reparations are just a continuation of the Great Society.
I am immediately investigating buying/starting/opening/tattoo and jewelry store businesses if this goes through. Also, big screen TV businesses, and pimp wheel stores will be money making businesses as well. Crack and other drugs will be great money makers, also a possibility (for my business ventures) when the police are defunded and drug crime laws are eliminated.
Reparations are a disgusting play for the hypocritical racist left to win more black votes.
I’d love to see a nationwide tax boycott to protest this unjust outrage. I know it won’t happen, but it’s definitely time for American citizens to close their wallets and demand repeal of the 16th amendment.
Here’s this should work:
Blacks that can prove they are direct descendants of slaves get reparations.
People who are direct descendants of slave owners (like Kamala Harris’s relatives) pay for reparations.
Liberals have gone completely mad.
“People Of Color” = “Perpetually Offended Class”
will never be satisfied, no matter what happens.
Oh, you spoke out against the Georgia voting bill,
well, why did you wait until after it became law,
why didn’t you say something while it was being debated?
Oh, you moved the All-star Game out of Georgia,
well, why did you move it to Colorado and not to Detroit?
The appetite for attention/recognition will never be satiated.
Violates the 14th Amendment. Rice v. Cayetano (S.Ct. 2000). End of discussion.

Great point.

This all should end well.
Define “black.” Genetic research says we all descended from African roots.
