If reparations are to be paid, they should be paid by the Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party fought the Civil War in order to keep slavery, when that failed, they created the KKK, poll taxes, grandfather laws, sundown laws, Jim Crow laws, etc.

RICO them, dissolve all assets and use the proceeds for reparations to citizens who can prove descent from Democrat slaves.

No one should pay reparations to anyone, period, unless it is linked to leaving the country, surrendering citizenship, and never returning.

Dismiss ANY talk of reparations.

European and African nations brought slavery here.

We, AMERICANS, ended slavery here, gave them rights and every opportunity that every OTHER American has.

Okay, just to see this go away, let’s give each black person whatever a six pack of Colt45 Malt Liquor costs or just a coupon for said six pack.

But... if we are going to go there; 300,000 white people were slaves too. They were called indentured servants at the time and they were usually worked into an early grave so every white person should also get that coupon for whatever. Let’s just give everyone $10 and never hear about this issue again.

Yep.

Mind you, the U.S. government interned the Japanese and ran the natives off forcibly.

We did NOT establish black slavery in this land.

BIG difference.

Show me one slave I’ve owned and I’ll pay. Otherwise leave me the heck alone about it.

Less than 10% of Southerners owned slaves in the 19th century, yet the race pimps want ALL modern honkies to pay reparations.

The good guys list 77 men a day in combat not counting sickness. The reparations bill has been paid in full a long time ago.

Reparations have been paid continuously since 1865........Enough I say! It is past time for them to get up on their hind legs and walk.

Of course, it shouldn’t be paid by anyone to anyone.

This country was founded on the principles of the enlightenment, which included recognition of the individual—not group, class, or race-based obligations and punishment.

Democrats should pay. Republicans fought to stop it.
