Maybe he could forego a year’s salary at his cushy Chase Manhattan job to make a symbolic start (would not hold my breath for that, though).

Did he mention reparations for the decendents of those soldiers who died to end slavery, mostly white soldiers?

Holder wants reparations? From whom? From the blacks who captured and sold blacks to the Arabs? From the Arabs who sold black slaves? Who does Holder want the reparations from?

Will the Islamic slavers pay off the reparations
with white slaves, or just females slaves from
other countries such as the EU?
Would that include Saudi Arabia? and Dubai?
Would any reparations come from the blacks who sold
the others?
Would slaves of Native Americans taken by Islamic
terrorists armed with Fast&Furious weapons count to Holder?

Yo, Eric - I never owned any slaves and you have never picked cotton. Change your name to Toby and I’ll send you ten bucks.

I’ve never owned any slaves, therefore I don’t owe slaves any money.

The first slaves in the New World were Irish. Black slaves suffered no more than Irish slaves and no one is talking about reparations for the Irish.

Give them 10 states and then let’s have no more interaction ever again.

Jim Crow was worse and was all the Democrats.

They heed to sue the Democrat Party for $1T.

Reparations were paid. Trillions of dollars in New Deal and Great Society programs that didn't move the poverty needle.

Plus a whole country founded and given to freed slaves in America and in the Caribbean. How is that working out now?

how about we subtract welfare payments?

I know there are “more whites on welfare than blacks” but blacks are only 12% of the population and they get 40% of the welfare

He wants white slavery, he’s just too shy to admit it.

Confiscatory taxation is slavery, but only a right-wing extremist would call it that.

Hey Holder, go get your money from the UK, they’re the ones who brought slaves to the US.

What about people whose ancestors didn’t get here until after the Civil War, black or white?

They weren’t slaves and they didn’t own any slaves.

Shouldn’t they be exempt?

Or maybe they are owed some type of reparations too?
