We've spoken about Ta-nehisi Coates a few times previously. Widely considered to be the voice of the Social Justice Warriors, the author of Between the World and Me seems to be the go-to philosopher of everyone from the Black Lives Matter movement to the most hard core liberal enclaves of the media. Given how poorly Bernie Sanders has been doing with black voters in recent polls, it's no shock that Coates might be rushing to the defense of Hillary Clinton as she struggles to stay to the left of the Vermont socialist. And true to form, he seems to be doing just that this week. But what will he hit Sanders on? Gun control? The lack of racial diversity in Vermont?
Nope. Slavery reparations. (Yahoo News)
Last week Bernie Sanders was asked whether he was in favor of "reparations for slavery." It is worth considering Sanders's response in full:
No, I don't think so. First of all, its likelihood of getting through Congress is nil. Second of all, I think it would be very divisive. The real issue is when we look at the poverty rate among the African American community, when we look at the high unemployment rate within the African American community, we have a lot of work to do....

Because With Bernie as the Prez everybody gets to be a slave.
America created Liberia and still continues to fund it for that purpose...
Ta Na whatever is another fool who should be banned on all public airwaves as soon as Trump is elected.
The charge? Sedition and incitement.
Work for you guys?
Bernie Sander’s answers the accusation: What “reparations”?
You need to get off your ass and work. Case Closed! You think
we Jews are ever gonna get ‘reparations’? Well me neither, Pal!”
Why would he? Tyrants love slavery. Slavery is what they do. Geico should make an ad about it.
maybe because its a stupid idiotic idea and slavery was over 100 years ago and nobody alive today was a slave and nobody alive today was a slave-master?
or something like that
i mean, there hasta be a reason why the old commie would oppose giving trillions more of our hard-earned tax dineros to freeloaders who’ll mostly vote for him
It occurs to me that The Information Age is possibly giving us too much instantaneous evidence
of how foolish, weak, addled and prone to nonsensical thinking we human beings are.
Maybe it’s better not to know there are so many lunatics in the world (excluding oneself, of course).
This article confirms my suspicion that it’s time to go back
to cutting off my technology by about 90%.
I did that for 3.5 years and not knowing that this sort of thing was even being discussed made life happier.
If you’re a Democrat, you enslave people. It’s what you do.
:D
while they’re at it,
they can finally get RID of all the racist laws and regulations and set-asides and focused benefits that steal money and opportunities from innocent white and Asian and Latino citizens
its supposed to be....equal justice before the law, remember?
(and the affirmative action krap was stated as temporary when first adopted anyway)...you know, temporary like income tax withholding was supposed to be...
Go back dark. You’ll be better for it. We will wake you when it’s time to go door to door.
Greatest ghetto name ever

Jumbling reparations and repatriation came to my mind as well.
Exactly. And never let them come back here to this awful place again.
Hey BLM.
1. ‘Reparations’ would be an accounting nightmare.
2. You’ve basically had 50 years of reparations already. And what has resulted? - You have devolved.
3. Your people have had plenty of opportunities to go back to your mud huts in Africa.
So quit bothering us with your nonsense.
Reparations?
I wonder what my family received for the body of one relative, the leg of another, and the arm of yet another relative.
I think my family paid a pretty high price.
If this becomes part of the Dem litmus test they are screwed; the imported Asians & Hispanics with their nanny-state politics also have a work ethic, and don’t want to pay even more for the shiftless ghetto inhabitants than they already do.
