That sounds about right to me.

Good thing our Republican champions will put an end to it.

(okay- I admit being sarcastic about the second part)

I sure miss riding. I am getting ready to sell my 2002 Road King Classic. I am changing over to a Porsche Boxster GTS. I sure won’t be the same as a bike, but it will go crazy fast, loud and be in the wind. ;>)

After reading this article, I’m starting to agree with the author in that we need to pay reparations. We’ve been quite greedy.

As a token of my goodwill, I will propose that tax dollars should be spent immediately that will result in the construction of 200 new 1,500 sqft homes in the Cape Cod area. I’d prefer that these homes are built quite close to the residence of the author as he’s certainly enlightened. I never thought in a million years I’d be for reparations.

Anyway, after these homes are built, we can give each home to each of the individuals that were arrested in Baltimore, but couldn’t be held due to lack of paperwork. I’m quite sure the author would agree that this is a suitable solution.

If this is a success, we can continue to build similar homes in other Massachucettes seaside towns and transport these victims there. I’m quite certain these people know exactly how to show these individuals a more enlightened way of life.

President James Monroe already did that.

He gave them their own country , Liberia.

He gave them tickets to go back home and he positioned America to prop Liberia up for years upon years..... to this day!

Ben afflacks family owned slaves, he should pay.

What happens AFTER they spend all the money and STILL need help? BACK ON WELFARE?

Will the families of the people who OD on drugs they bought with the ‘slave money’ be able to sue?

will ORCA winfrey get any money?

Will ALL BLACK people get money or JUST the ones who are ACTUALLY descendants of REAL SLAVES?

How much do we pay the Indians for ‘stealing’ their land?

Take money from people who don't own slaves and give it to people who aren't slaves.

Got it.

Sounds fair.

"been denied the staples of daily life"

Every human is "denied the staples of daily life" from the point their mother stops instinctively responding to their cries.

My mother informs me that I used to whine, whimper and bawl for her to cater to my every whim. But eventually I figured out that if I wanted to satisfy my desires on my own schedule, I had to DO IT MYSELF. That's how I learned to take individual initiative and personal responsibility.

Some people apparently didn't get weaned properly.

Part of reparations would be that blacks would be exempt from taxes.

I think it’s time to start talking about deporting Democrats.

Here is my view:

Allow inner-city entrepreneurs to hire people on welfare and pay them only a couple dollars per hour, so the $$$ amount that they pay is only the difference to bring them up to the minimum wage, or slightly higher, and allow the workers to keep their welfare checks and medicaid. This provides some motivated welfare recipients an opportunity to learn how to work and make more than their welfare hand-outs. The entrepreneur gets a chance to start a business with little-or-no investment - eventually wean both off their subsidy.

Make that $20 trillion since 1965 and a civil war a century earlier.

Whatever “reparations” bill these clowns think is due long been paid.
