Sins of the father..... In North Korea, the rule is that three generations will be punished for the crimes of the one.
You mean outside of the trillions of dollars already spent on programs through the federal government on this community? Including lowering test scores and expectations, affirmative action ect?
Sure, my great great grandfather died fighting against slavery in the Civil War. He was murdered by slave owners in grey uniforms.
What do I get?
I’ll check my pockets for some spare change.

The three farmers enlisted in an Illinois regiment. One returned to a small pension.
The reparation list would go on for ever, to include each ethnic group that was discriminated against when they first came to our Country.
This drivel is just standing in the way of Black Americans getting ahead. While they are throwing tantrums and looking for someone to make them whole each individual could be working to secure a better future as an America, not as a Black.
Juneteenth is the official date the US government told former slave owners that the millions of dollars in human capital they owned had now been nationalized, and they wouldn’t receive a dime in compensation.
NEVER !
this guy sounds like a character from star trek. Duh black community owes the rest of productive america reparations for destroying neighboorhoods, language, music, movies, sports, schools, etc.
What happens when African Americans get their reparations check and it won't buy anything? And meanwhile everyone with money in the bank has their savings wiped out?
It's not an "unintended consequence".
It’s just a free money grab - kind of like the looters who take advantage of the protests to grab free stuff.
As I’ve reiterated elsewhere, my ancestors arrived in America after the civil war. We did not enslave anyone and were not farmers so didn’t employ any sharecroppers. One of the 1940 census forms lists a “domestic worker” in the household, who presumably was paid for her labor. So I have trouble understanding why my tax $$ should pay reparations for someone else’s crime.
“ Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy.”
All under democRat control.
Why are so many Hispanics speaking the language of their conquerors & enslavers? How many did Pizarro kill?
Asking for a friend.
If I am not mistaken, “separate but equal” had that great deal of support from blacks. They got to have their own schools and even professional sports leagues like baseball’s Negro leagues.
reparations = danegeld
He should start in Africa where his ancestors were captured and sold into slavery by other Africans.
Anyone who has been shortchanged from an earned opportunity due to affirmative action programs should also be entitled to reparations.
While in the military, I lived in a lot of different countries around this earth and this country, our country, is the least racist and bigoted of all of the countries I have lived in.
Now we have a bunch of thugs who want to burn it down, steal others property, and ignore the laws of the land just because they believe everything should be handed to them and they should not have to work for it.
BULL SHIT.
Everyone behind you had to work for what they have why should you be different.
I believe in the rule of law. Break the law pay the price and I do not give one damn who you are.
We have a constitution that we abide by. We have laws that we follow.
The left has their PC code of communist doctrine that must be ignored or overcome with what ever amount of force that is necessary.
How is it that the left believes that this can just go on and in the end they will get their way? That is not going to happen.
CWII should be everyone’s worst nightmare and I want no part of it, but I will be forced into it if our constitution is threatened from outside of our country or from inside of our country through extra legal means.
The 150,000+ strong, much experienced battle/combat vets in this country will not all just sit on the bench and watch what we have fought for be taken from us. We are overwhelmingly right or center right and have already taken and oath to protect our constitution and that oath has no expiration date.
So far in all of the rioting, looting, arson, and anarchy the right has not even stepped onto the playing field. The left has been fighting themselves.
The opposition team will step up to bat when we see fit to do so and the left has no say in that decision. When we do we have our own rules and do not and will not pay any attention to the beliefs, desires, or wants, or PC demands of the left.
Reparations of ~624,511 Union soldiers and sailors and 1 president were paid 155 years ago.
