This is not the Congress or the Administration for crap like this. Do they really think it will play well with their base? Or the voters they want to attract?

And any welfare paid to that family will count towards the reparations.

These kind of haters, dividers and manipulators always have to dump a turd in the punchbowl lest they lose control of their poverty-class, their modern slaves who may flee the democrat plantation if they get so much as a taste of prosperity by acclimating into modern society instead of clinging to artificial tribal grievance.

Yeah it’s not like the Holocaust, where corporations that made a profit from it were still around and thriving.

Kinda hard to peg where profits from 200 years ago went.

That and the maybe 6 or 7 TRILLION spent on welfare covers the bill.

Now how about getting ####ing jobs?

With that said, how come reparations are only brought up when a Republican president is in office?

Conyers has introduced the same bill every year for the past 20 years, through Republican administrations and Democrat administrations. It's only because Trump is the president that the Examiner decided to report on it.

How about reparations for the individual mandate? It’s a form of slavery and the masters are still alive.

Pretty much the same thing I said earlier, no?

Fine. Give them all $25 more on their tax returns. What!? What do you mean they don’t pay taxes or file?

Okay then; mail them $5 and be done with it forever.

Why is there a "Black Congressional Caucus"?

Where is the Jewish Congressional Caucus? The Italian-American Congressional Caucus? The Korean-American Congressional Caucus?

Either they are representing ALL in their districts equally to the very best of their abilities, or they have no business being in Congress.

If anyone should be paying blacks reparations, it’s Planned Parenthood.

Can’t agree with the idea but I’d be willing to discuss it so long as only Democrats are billed. Based on founding party principles Republicans had nothing at all to do with slavery. Well, except for ending it.

As I've said many times before; Identify all descendants of the many black slave owners and get them to pay up first.
Then we can talk.

Pay ‘Em off and then... nothing changes. It’s not exactly extortion but it’s a lie nonetheless.
