Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told PJM that the federal government should conduct a study of reparations for descendants of slaves to be able to determine the best way to “repair some of the damage" that slavery has caused to the African-American community.
Jackson Lee became the lead sponsor of H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, after Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) resigned from Congress.
The legislation seeks to “address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.”

FY Sheila Jackson-Lee and your racist white tax. Over my dead body!
$100,000 per person & a one-way fare to another country
Give a mouse a cookie, he’ll want a glass of milk.
Are reparations owed to families of Union soldiers that died fighting to end slavery?
Another Rat shakdown scam for wealth redistribution. It never ends with them.
My recommendation is to ship anyone talking about slavery reparations back to afri a and revoke their citizenship and entry privileges forever.
As a white person I want my share of the loot. I don’t think Jackson-Lee will agree.
Reparations aren't the goal. They know they'll never get them. The goal is the funding for the so-called study. How much taxpayer $ are we talking and whose cronies will cash in...?
dredging up a dead issue from 150 years ago is hardly “healing”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee are you so ignorant and out of the times that you do not realize that the civil war settled the issue of Secession. Slavery was and is illegal. Can’t you accept that and move on?
So sick of all this PC garbage.
It is a wolf (communism) in sheep’s (PC) clothing.
Keep pushing it, commie blacks and enablers. Want another civil war?
Hows she going to deal with the 3000+ black slave owners in this bill?
Is she also going to condemn the african tribes that sold off the tribes they beat in battle to the slave traders?
Is she going to slam africa for stoll allowing slavery to continue to this day on the african continent?
and then there is the solid FACT that other black tribes captured and sold the slaves who were fortunate enough to be sent to the USA to be the most KINDLY treated slaves in the history of the world.
If its good enough for them, its good enough for me. I want whatever they’re having.
If you don’t know who your daddy is, how are you going to trace back and find out if your family was ever a slave?
As a white guy married to a black woman I say......Send me a check Ms. Lee!!!!
can dead people recieve reparations?
The main point of this would be another Trump Trap.
