Who is "black"?
How much "black blood" would be necessary to claim reparations? One-half? One-fifth? Less?
Would recent black immigrants from Africa be eligible for reparations?
Should blacks be compensated for discriminatory practices after slavery ended? If so, why not the Irish, the Italians, the Slavs, and others who were similarly discriminated against when they first arrived?
Who decides all these questions? Congress? A "Reparations Commission" of some kind?
I'm sure you can come up with your own questions about how reparations would be divvied up in the real world. And that's the problem with the entire issue; it's not real. It's a fantasy - a bad nightmare that would divide and destroy the country far more than the KKK could ever dream of doing.
Obama already gave Reparations Pigford ,$50,000 all you had to do was say you had a Plant
Maybe she can get Reparations from the muslims that sold the blacks into slavery in the first place. Nobody in this country living today had anything to do with slavery. This is just how crazy radical she is.
Since 28% of blacks in 1860 owned slaves but only 1.4% of whites did.
I guess the trillions we have shelled out to the lazy POC the last 50 years is not enough.
George Zimmerman will qualify—he is one-eighth black. Of course his black ancestors lived in Peru, not the US, but that should not matter.
My great great great uncle was killed at the Battle of Plain Store as part of the New York 116th. I guess Im off the hook for payment?
Reparations for us poor white folks. Sounds good to me.
They will start to take White’s land just like is happening right now in other countries.
I’m all for payback, but not the way she thinks.
There were 300,000 white slaves too. I guess that means we all gonna get a fat check from Uncle Sam huh Mad Max.
I suppose this ding-dong will include reparations for me because Muslims have taken over the Scandinavian countries of my heritage, wreaking havoc on society and costing residents tons of money in enforcement. The “old country” isn’t same as it was for my ancestors so I need lots of money in reparations.
Everybody’s going to identify as black to get that extra $3.50.
Wait a minute. They had 8 years with a halfircan president, and they did get reparations in the form of free phones, health insurance, and the Pigford settlement.
So Maxine wants more? There’s no satisfying these people.
