FU, ya racist opportunist

What bull sh#t.
You know who are really racist? The Left and blacks. They are obsessed with race.
Slavery was dealt with over 150 years ago in a war and constitutional amendments.
What you have now are dysfunctional black who haven’t owned up to their own culture’s self-loathing, entitlement mentality, and hatred of whites, keeping them from moving up in their lives.
GROW UP!!
It’s a jobs program for Deep State myrmidons.
Great.
Let’s also run a commission to pay the families of 700,000 men who died setting the slaves free.
Negro ghetto thugs at least have the guts to commit armed robbery in person, with their own guns.
These cowardly filth use government to commit armed robbery.
I wonder who wrote the resolution since she is functionally illiterate.
Thats pretty cheeky, coming from a Democrat.
I was born 100 years after the civil war. I have nothing to apologize for. Nor will I.

Yep, and they're still mad that we set their slaves free (for awhile.) They are pretty much back on the DemoKKKrat plantations, they just want some free money for them to put back into their new plantations.
On September 9, 1776, the Continental Congress formally declares the name of the new nation to be the “United States” of America. This replaced the term “United Colonies,” which had been in general use.
How old is this cow?
Any Republicans on this bill? It would only take six to.pass this legislation.
It’s all about reparations and the perpetual “deep state” NEW bureaucracy to administer it.
Repatriation NOT Reparations. How about we offer any descendants of slaves free passage and payout if they wish to renounce citizenship and return to their ancestral homelands? Seems the fairest solution is to help return them to Africa or wherever they came to the US from.
Wait, that’s not a Babylon Bee Headline???!
I can’t keep up with reality anymore.
The Irish are in for a windfall.
