My ancestors lived in New York. They can send me a check anytime...
Afraid Trump will get more black voters.
Hmmm, New Yorker here. Despite my blue eyes and white suburban upbringing I am 1/8 black. Do I pay or do I get paid?
This NYSer’s direct ancestor fought for the Union. We gave at the office.
“To look at me you will know someone survived at the bottom of a ship, shackled to a stranger, someone with whom he or she could not speak because the languages were not the same,” said Assembly Deputy Speaker Earlene Hooper (D-Nassau County). “Someone survived. We are the strongest people on the face of the earth to be able to survive a crossing of that type.”
Poor Ms. Hooper. She was chained to the bottom of a ship. All the melodrama set aside, you know what else can survive long voyages in the bottom of a ship, Ms. Hooper? Cockroaches. Also, parasites and many varieties of intestinal worms.
I don’t mean to be ugly, but I’m sick of hearing about “muh slabery”. None of these incompetent half-wits had to ever endure anything worse than a late welfare check.
....and how many apparently white citizens today have a percentage of ancestry that were slaves, and how loudly will the left bowl about whites getting reparations?
I disagree. My Celtic ancestors were slaves to the Romans. I want reparations for that crime from 2,000 years ago, with interest. In fact, at one point the Romans considered Britons too stupid to be slaves. I lie awake nights burning over that ancient insult. I still weep for our murdered queen Boadicea. Only reparations from the Italians will make that right.
Except that the U.S. did not exist prior to 1776, when the Colonies declared their Independence... and then had to fight for it. If 'they', need to exact their own justice, go to Europe & deliver the bill.
But as Europeans were logistics & marketing, better head to Africa first, that's where the meat markets began...
These people have ruined AMERICA.

If the author is correct, pensions and other benefits actually cost more than the war did. That’s the cost in treasure. The blood spilled was priceless.

This is so they can avoid taking responsibility for their failures. By blaming today’s Whitey for things done by dead Whiteys, they avoid facing the FACT that their pathologies are self-inflicted.
Guilt does not pass through the genes. It does not jump from a guilty person to a person with a similar skin shade. Responsibility is not collective, it is for one and one individual only.
plenty of irish in metro NYC are going to get a windfall
Reading this story I noticed that all the purveyors of this open pit of nonsense happen to have a (D) behind their names. Is that coincidence?
Cool! I have Jewish relatives in NY. They could use the money.
All those who have died to free them roll over in grave noting them to kiss their a$$.
“Reparations” is the 21st century word for slavery.
This is one of the most brain dead things I've heard of originating in the NYS legislature, and that's saying something. They are little more than a bunch of leftist morons (the governor included!) busy redistributing NYers' wealth to illegals and worthless multigenerational welfare slugs.
There’s religious persecution in my ancestry, forcing them to leave powerful England for backwards American colony.
SO PAY ME NOW
