Reparations have been paid. In blood.
There were blacks in the south who owned slaves.
Will the children of those black slavers also get reparation checks?
If I had a nickel every time they wrote about this...well you know...
“The $5 Trillion Debt: Do white Americans owe their black neighbors for slavery?”
Nope,
That would be negative.
Reparations? What do they think the last fifty YEARS of the leftist welfare state has been?
Reparations? What happened to 40 acres and a mule? What about the millions of Union soldiers who were killed fighting to free the slaves?
NO, the ancestors of both are dead.
2) Not all white people owned slaves
C) What would a mixed race person do, owe money to themselves??
I want reparations for all the extremely high taxes I’ve paid over their years to pay for their EBT cards, Sec 8 housing, WIC, healthcare, disability benefits, Obamaphones, jobs lost due to affirmaive action, etc ad infinitum so they didn’t have to work or a livin’. Especially since I’m not the one who put them in chains...
Do the Irish get reparations too?
Cromwell sold 2/3s of the Irish population into the States and Caribbean as slaves. [look it up.]
Most of us are only a few generations away from ancestors who were serfs.
“I benefit from this system of privilege at the expense of people of color,” she said. “I am responsible to do my part.”
Sometimes I just want to take these gullible white retards and punch them in the face.
The reason we’ll hear about this in perpetuity is that some blacks are signaling they have no hope of competing not just with whites, but every other color of the rainbow as well that comes here (often without the benefit of speaking English) and still quickly surpasses them financially.
Rather than learn the lessons of studying and working hard, it is much easier to simply say: Pay me.
These newcomers, who are rapidly growing in numbers, aren’t going to pay anything. The nonsense about including Native Americans and Latinos in their pity-party are to try to force it at the ballot box; they are frightened by the growth of Hispanics in this country (and they should be; they are here to replace them, taking “preferred minority” college seats, jobs/promotions, small business loans, etc. to which many blacks feel entitled).
We’ve been paying reparations for fifty years; there’s nothing left to “re-distribute”...
I completely agree.
Obama has split Americans apart. He’s only in office for a bit more than one and a half more years.
America needs to get back to dealing with people as people. We should end all racial categories, end preferences, end laws about race, and get back to being free.
Freedom. It is worth it.
I never kept a slave or mistreated a single black person in my entire life.
I owe the race hustlers nothing - they’ll pry from me what I have from my cold, dead hands.
If they are given the money...what would the do with it? Buy a Bentley, or some other crap and then they would be broke again with their hands out....
They have been paid reparations in the 8 Trillion dollars we have spent on Welfare to date. I consider the score even and the slate is clean.
I want to pay these descendants of the victims with the currency of the perpetrators; see how many Swisher Sweets you can buy with Confederate currency...
This almost reads like a [i]comedy[/i] yet we all know they actually ARE serious about what they are proposing. Wow.
“U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is three times the cost of all military wars in U.S. history since the American Revolution. Despite this mountain of spending, progress against poverty has been minimal.”
Dear Poverty Pimps and Racial Grievance Mongers,
We already cut the checks. Your welcome. Now STFU or GTFO.
Sincerely,
America
