fine, figure out how much 40acres and a mule are in today's dollars, make everyone of those seeking said reparations prove they are direct descendants of slaves and their names, then SPLIT IT UP AMONG THEM!!! prolly come to a buck three eighty each
My white ancestors never held slaves and never own a mansion.
The Democrats have morphed into an anti-white party. They lost white males.
Let them keep it up.
Call me a cynic but aren’t the gigantic welfare state that we have created and race-preference policies such as affirmative action reparations? We’ve spent what, $50T on the “war on poverty” and a lot of this went to helping blacks supposedly.
Sure, reparations. Let the Democrats pay it. They are the party of slave owners, slave economics, human trafficking, “Jim Crow” race oppression, lynch mobs, firehoses, and generalized race obsession. They committed the crime, let them make good on it.
We’re Republicans. You’re welcome.
they pass that and I will refuse to pay Federal taxes on the grounds that my family wasn’t even in America until 1951, just like a lot of these hands out demanders of reparations have no relation to any slaves. Oh would that mean that these people could go after the relatives of the very first acknowleged owner of Black slaves..........a Black man?
White people liberated slaves
Black people and Muslims enslaved them.. and still do to this day.
As a white person I am owed reparations from those of African descent.
When do I get my check from them?
I’ve paid. Not a cent more.
OK ... how ‘bout a check for $1,000 and a one-way ticket to Kenya. Conditions are: you can never come back ... if you are caught in the USA, death penalty for you and any known relatives that may still be in the USA.
I agree with Walter E. Williams: Every living American who ever owned a slave should pay reparations to every living American who ever was a slave.
Anthony Johnson has a lot to answer for as do almost all the US tribes ...
40 Acres and a Mule to every Living former Slave.
Sounds fair to me. The Clinton Foundation can write the Check.
They should start with Egypt.....they can turn over the Pyramids and the land...... to Israel. We’re waiting!
Maxine Waters should take Al Sharpton on a big national tour promoting this while campaigning for Democrat candidates and incumbents this fall.
I was thinking of free one way shuttles by the major cruise lines. But then I thought of the enormous clean up and repairs those ships would need. It would be worth it.
The author is fighting a ‘straw man’. None of the prominent proponents of reparations are advocating direct payments to individuals. They call for these ‘reparations’ to be paid into a fund that would ‘invest’ in improving the lives of blacks and in improving the inner cities. IOW, these reparations would become a giant slush fund for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and BLM activists.
Buy their citizenship from them. You’ll get ‘x’ amount but you have to leave the country never to return. I wonder how many would take advantage of an offer like that.
The first time this came up was in the 1890s when the GAR an association of Union Army veterans told freed slaves “We gave our reparations on the battlefield go ask the Confederates.”
As sure as night follows day, every time the evil donkey sees some slaves running off their plantation, they start talk about reparations. They must talk reparations to keep stirring up their crazies. Their crazies demand to hear the Democrats say they will force “evil” White Christians to pay reparations for Democrats keeping Black people as slaves for 400 years. They want to use the money they can steal from us to buy Black votes. They are scared of what is happening to the hold they had on Black people.
What about abolishment fighters who lost relatives in the civil war? Also what if the families had to sell of the farm to survive? Are their families going to be compensated?
they don’t want to pay anything. They want to force the states that didn’t vote for them, to pay.
