Is a call for slavery reparations coming in 2016?
American Thinker ^ | 04/19/2015 | Warren Beatty

Posted on 04/19/2015 7:31:21 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Charles Payne, host of Fox Business News' Making Money, said on Thursday:

I think that there's going to be an official apology from the White House to slavery in America and then a major push to get cash, and I'm talking lots of cash.

Many including those closest to President Obama will push him to make this happen.

About reparations, Scottie Nell Hughes, Tea Party News Network director and a frequent Making Money guest, said:

Sure, slavery was a horrible thing that happened, but this [reparations payments] is not going to help race relations in the United States today.

Payne, who is black, broached the subject after reporting that Chicago will offer compensation to people who can prove they were tortured during the reign of police commander Jon Burge, who "... used electrical shock, burning, and mock executions to elicit confessions from suspects, mostly African-American, from the early 1970s through the early 1990s."

So if Obama and the Progressive/Liberal/Democrat crowd get their way, who is to receive reparations, and how will they be determined?

Blacks are becoming less important to the Democrat/Progressives. They are being replaced by Latinos/ ilegals. Watch as instant citizenship, Spanish Language schools, Latino jobs come forth from the Left. Blacks have rioted themselves out of relevancy.

Exactly. It’s the democrat war against people of white European extraction. They want a race war. It’s exactly what they want. These people are nothing but filthy racists playing with fire.

LBJ started reparations with the Great Society. How many years have we been paying them now?

Reparations to blacks will be the straw that breaks the back of America. At that point our country will cease to function and each group will go their separate way.

I believe in the minds of some reparations is payment for ‘work’ done, compensation for ‘futures’ destroyed, setting right the ‘perpetual enslavement’ of a certain ‘peoples’. I see it as something for nothing. Possibly a mass mental disorder.......

Nothing would be more unfair, wrong and divisive. It would be the ultimate insult to the honest, hard-working people who are blamed for all the evils in the world.
And that ‘s exactly why 0 would do it.

Charles Payne is trying to spark a second Civil War.

His side will lose.

Badly.

What sort of racist tries to goad people into race-based mass suicide?

Looks like I targeted the wrong guy ... but the “reparations crowd” really are trying to start a war.

There is nothing stupid, fat or bastard about the guy, and you don’t seem to know what you are babbling about at all.

Shut up.

Payne is as conservative as one can be. He doesn’t support reparations, he just predicted that Obama will try it.

Correct..Payne and Cavuto are the voice of reason..I admire their intellect, along with Liz McConnell..

Similarly, any living person who was ever a slave in the United States deserves reparations.

His plan will be to allow a court case and then (without putting up a defense) settle the court case in favor of reparations, putting the taxpayers on the hook... Kind of like he did with the black farmers suit of the dept of agriculture.
