By All Means, Democrats, Make Slavery Reparations Into a Campaign Issue

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But rest assured, every single Republican strategist is salivating at the notion will fall all over themselves to also support reparations or else be attacked by the media/Dems of a Democratic nominee who has given a full-throated endorsement of slavery reparations.

How would it work?

If I can show I had any slave ancestors, would I get money?

[Darteaus94025]

Shouldn’t full reparations for slavery include relocation to one’s continent of ancestory?

[ifinnegan]

They’d say they know hoe to do it right.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Will the whites whose ancestors didn’t own slaves have to pay up? Will the blacks who didn’t have any ancestors who were slaves still get money? And what about descendants of whites who freed their slaves? Or the descendants of free blacks who owned other blacks? And what about folks today who are part black part white? Do they just pay reparations to themselves?

[EvilCapitalist]

Reparations have been paid for the last 50 years. What do people think welfare, and food stamps are?

[Westbrook]

I want reparations from the moslems for the hundreds of years of slavery foisted on my southern European ancestors during the brutal occupation thereof.

[Texas Eagle]

Welp, if yer black, you'll have to take 5 bucks out of your left pocket and put it into your right pocket....

I think 55 60 years of free chit out to about do it case closed

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Pay reparations to anyone who can prove that they themselves were a slave. Otherwise, forget it!

[Westbrook]

Reparations were paid in blood. 600,000 Americans killed. Hundreds of thousands more injured.

At this point, reparations should be paid with a one way flight to the African paradise of the recipient’s choice.

[taxcontrol]

Hey I support reparations. Any living person who has been held in slavery should receive the minimum wage for the time that they were held in slavery. Any amount of compensation above minimum wage should be collected from the slave owner.

[samtheman]

You got that right, Extremely. The Party of Chamber of Commerce Chowderheads will never let the Demonrats win a race to the bottom by default.

The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion — three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. Federal and state governments spend $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars on America’s 80 means-tested welfare programs annually.

and affirmative action.

[Da Coyote]

Please, oh please.

If if fails, great.

If it succeeds, then CW-II, the no more liberals.

Even greater.

[Parmy]

And, what about those whose ancestors fought in the Union Army?

Lets don’t forget the untold hundreds of billions in property damages, court costs, incarceration costs etc.
