My ancestors were some of those who shed blood to free those slaves.
Debt paid.
Notice all the money is going to “education”, ie, few if any of the descendants will get a penny.
Reparation. That’s four syllables.
Corruption is easier. It’s only three. Lets call it corruption.
If you want to see pissed off people, just watch when people who were never slave holders and are just barely getting along having to give part of their pay to blacks who were never slave owners buying houses and new cars with their sudden found wealth.
Those who enact and enforce it better have a tube of Reparaition-H handy.
I call a certain amount of BS here.
It’s hardly some profile in courage, to say you are in favor of setting up some commission to study an issue.
What about the core issue. I wish they would say, are they in favor of actually doing reparations? Forget the committee to study this and that. Where do they stand on the subject? Will they push for it as president?
Sorry - my people were still in Germany until 1875, long after slavery was abolished.
Not from me home boy, find another sucker....
It’s cheesy. It really is. A shameless pander.
More woke lib madness. I we are liable for racial misdeeds, do we get credit for racial good deeds? White males brought us western civilization, good and bad. The good: Math, science, medicine, democracy, due process etc.......When do we get royalties for all this?
While we’re at it, while I am a Christian by choice, part of my family were Jewish. So.....for all you Goyum out there, be prepared pay up for Goyum misdeeds. Of course, there is that eternal salvation thing, which might pay this debt.
awesome! yet ANOTHER totally losing issue for the insane leftist Dems (like they really needed another one) ...
Isn’t affirmative action a reparation?
Whatever number they come up with for reparations won’t scratch the surface on the 500,000 Union lives + 1 President who died to keep the United States together and set their ancestors free.
Reparations? You’re welcome.
The DemonCRAPs are sensing that the Black vote is slipping away in favor of Trump. Reparations are a way to pull them back in line using the promise of a bribe. Of course, promises will be broken.
Seeing as how Islam has slavery built in I suggest a special tax on Mozlems payable to the rest of us. Kind of like Jizya in reverse. How is that for a reparation?
Did you ever see such a meshuganah list of “issues” in your life, as those offered up by this year’s dummocrap candidates? The right to kill newborn babies, the right to violate the Constitution and grab guns, the cozying up to terrorist groups and globalists, the planted feet against securing our borders-—it is INSANE! There is no other reason they could be doing this except to destroy the country—and that is surely what following their insane policies would result in.
Nope.
We can fly them back to beloved africa and dissolve their citizenship in our awful racist country.
Didn’t they all get 40 acres and a mule?
Sounds like funding of more Government Programs paying government wages.
I’ll consider their claims fir reparations when they promise to start tipping. Hint: Neither is ever going to happen.
So collective guilt over events that happened long ago is now OK? And the “sins of the father, are now the sins of the son, or in this case great-great-grandson”. Let’s go down that road for a moment with a thought experiment.
Who were the slave owners? Rats. Who created the KKK? Rats. Who created and enforced “Jim Crowe” laws? Rats.
Who emancipated blacks? Republicans
Does not take a big leap in logic to figure out where reparations need to come from. Only Rats.
But, collective guilt is nonsense. And, only people guilty of crimes should pay for the crime as only the people injured should be compensated. Any other path will tear apart a civilization, which is the goal by the way.
