Perhaps this is part of Porkulus II...

Here we go ... the latest chapter in the century old pity party also known as “gimme me 40 acres and a Lexus”

[Wyatt's Torch]

You want another Civil War? Pass reparations and you’ll get it. No. F**king. Way.

H. R. 40 To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865

America was not even a country until at least 1781 (Battle of Yorktown)...

They must have their numbers wrong. 1619 plus “four hundred years of slavery” comes to 2019.

[Leg Olam]

Not this stupid crap again!

[Maverick68]

With all my heart, I sincerely hope the Dems pursue this. It would be the gift that keeps on giving!

[EyeGuy]

Given the billions that have ALREADY been redirected from productive, working whites to blacks over the past decades, this surely must be titled Reparations- Part XXXIV.

[b4its2late]

Out of control.

[bboop]

Anyone know how to tar-and-feather folks?

[HonestConservative]

I agree

[Sig Sauer P220]

The armed revolution is approaching even faster than I thought it would. Warp speed.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Anyone know how to tar-and-feather folks?

Forget that. Load up on hollow points.

[popdonnelly]

Boy, I didn’t see this coming!

We just spent one trillion dollars on “stimulus”. Where are we going to get the money to “remedy” the problems of African-Americans?

This is just the next installment of Democrats using Federal money (that we don’t have) to buy votes.

[demshateGod]

If we get ourselves some state sovereignty, none of the stuff they do in DC will matter.

[chimera]

Not to mention over a half million dead white guys in the Civil War. Any credit for price in blood? Didn't think so, these are dead white guys after all.

But, if it were a fair world devoid of the politics of victimization, aggrievement, and correctness, I'd say the blacks owe us, on balance.

"You want another Civil War? Pass reparations and you’ll get it."

What do you think $4.2 billion to ACORN is?

That's a Black racist Democrat political organization receiving your public tax money.

Imagine if the Republicans put $4.2 billion in the stimulus for FRee Repubilic.

[rfreedom4u]

None of my ancestors ever owned slaves. I refuse to have any reparations taken from my taxes. Years of affirmative action, welfare and race based programs were reparations enough. No more. Not one cent.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Someone needs to do a study: Fine, we stipulate that your ancestors were wrongfully taken from Africa. Now, the average wage in Africa is (I’m making this number up) $1,000 a year. You make $40,000. Cut us a check or STFU...

[cowboyway]

How bout a wee bit of reparations for this injustice too, lads:
