Here we go again. Talk going around that master Obama will give out billions of dollars in "slave reparations" to his very reliable democrat voting block. The House controls the money and I don't see it happening, but then again, the GOP seems to give master Obama any thing in the world he wants.

If Congress approves this outrage, the revolution begins.

And he will also pardon every “person of color,” LGTBQIA, illegal immigrant, Muslim and anarchist in prison, jail, probation or parole. Count on it.

I would rather burn this country to the ground.

So what was the war on poverty, just an appetizer?

It will become a campaign issue and anybody not behind it will be labeled racists.

Those of us with ancestors who fought for the Union Army should be exempt from any cost of these reparations. Ditto for those of us with ancestors who did not come to the US until after the end of slavery.

They won't be paid because they've ALREADY been paid many time over, idiot! Why do you think white people (niddle class) works 1/3 of the time jut to pay taxes....

Many blacks are here, who have NO American slave ancestry at all.

Wee barry's maternal side owned slave, his purported "father" had NO American slave background, so that means that he should pay reparations !

OTOH, many white people's ancestors came here after slavery ended, so they shouldn't have to pay anyone anything!

This is all just stupid pandering and a non-starter !

[lightman]

Can I collect reparation money for my G.A.R. Great-great Uncle who died as a POW in Confederate prison?

Didn’t think so.

[Fresh Wind]

Acceptance of the reparation payment will render any recipient ineligible for any form of welfare in the future.

[FlingWingFlyer]

In a decent, honest world, that lowlife would be in prison.

[cardinal4]

I’m all for this. While I honestly believe even this congress will tell him to piss up a rope, it will guarantee another democrat won’t be elected to national office for a generation..

A professional basketball player needs more money. Maybe that will be part of the cost of a $200 ticket to see people play sports.

Charles Payne is very sharp and may have good sources. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama did adopt this as a cause, but I doubt he would expect it to pass. Rather it would be a way of whipping up emotions among black voters in advance of the 2016 elections—think of the passions he and Holder whipped up over Ferguson, but on a much bigger scale.

[tumblindice]

Bringing this up just after those of us who write checks to the U.S. Treasury so people who don’t pay taxes can receive their tax credits and free health care ... yeah, a trial balloon about claiming an even bigger piece of the pie (that we didn’t make) is definitely bad timing.

[Jim Noble]

I would pay almost any amount to put an end to the status quo.
