Black New Yorkers already clashing over who should get reparations as state panel starts

There are many Hispanics for Trump who are against open borders and the woke policies by the Democratic Party. They are against illegal immigration. It’s important to distinguish the legal immigrants who happen to be Hispanic from the illegals.

Hitler’s Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi Welfare State

How did Hitler win the allegiance of ordinary Germans? The answer is as shocking as it is persuasive: by engaging in a campaign of theft on an almost unimaginable scale―and by channeling the proceeds into generous social programs―Hitler literally “bought” his people’s consent.

Just remember -- from their point of view the so called reparations are money they are owed, not in any sense money paid to get them do do something.

So do not expect improved behavior.

GIVE IT TO THE MEXICANS.!!

“Davids, who publishes “Little Africa News,” which serves that African community in the US, said reparations advocates should also go after the African countries, where rulers rounded and sold people to slave traders.”

I don’t think that narrative, though true, will carry the day among the shake-down artists.

Ah’m aware...the land value would be debatable now even though Sherman wanted to confiscate all of the Southern coastline for the freed slaves. They would not have created the same value that is there now; it would be Haiti Nord. Probably most of it would have been sold to developers over the last century anyway and the original owners/families dispersed inland...where they are today.

“The only people that deserve reparations are living former slaves.”

From living former slave owners.

New York was a free state before the Civil War.

Yes and no. I believe NY did a kind of rolling emancipation years before the Civil War. Slaves under a certain age were freed while those over that age remained slaves. By the time of the war, there were still some slaves in NY.

This doesn’t negate the fact that slavery in NY hasn’t existed for several lifetimes. They’re not getting any money.

If their ancestors had not been slaves in the US, they would never have been born. Plantations mixed Africans from different tribes (they preferred them not having a common language) so children were born to parents who would never have met if they had remained in Africa.

If reparations are ever handed out, recipients should have to prove they have no white American ancestors...since whites are the evil oppressors and they inherit their guilt.

Do I get reparations for my great-great-grandfather dying to free them? Isn’t being set free and being granted citizenship reparations enough?

Put the money into one account, and tell the black new yorkers that the money will be divided up between all those who qualify. The problem will solve itself.

[PortugeeJoe]

The only people who should get slavery reparations are people who were actually enslaved and the only people who should pay reparations are those who owned the slaves.

So, an actual African who became a citizen five years ago will be paying slavery reparations to a black person who was never a slave.

Also, the reparations recipients must forfeit all current and future government welfare benefits, and pay taxes on all receipts.

As Rob Schneider noted at the Turning Point USA convention:

"In California, it has gone out of committee to approve slave reparations to be paid to people who were never slaves by people who never owned slaves in a state that never had slaves. That's like paying child support for a child you never had to a woman you never f*cked!"

"Which is why the Democrats are importing millions of new voters..."

C'mon people. Just apply a "one-year residency" clause to it.

Then sit back and watch the "Great New Yawk Gold Rush".
