If Sanders wants to take the guilt of slavery upon himself we should put him in prison.
How many slaves did Bernie own?
We have already tried investing in low income communities. Well sort of.......the inner cities become uninhabitable, so the gubmint builds and surrounds the city with Section Eight housing.......then when those areas become uninhabitable they build in the suburbs. Like in my area of Ohio, once a beautiful little farming community close to Columbus, that was really thriving.....suddenly after being a part of the SHARING-OF-THE-THUGGERY program, the great little suburb receives STARDOM and becomes the featured community of SIXTY MINUTES......”HEROIN IN THE HEARTLAND.”

Yes, like Yassar Arafat, whatever you offer is only a start...(another terrorist.)
No descendant of slaves would even be alive today if it were not for slavery. The genealogical chain would have never ever come together and produced him. If black Americans value their lives they would find descendants of slave owners and thank them.
I had a GG Grandfather and one cousin that I know of, die for them on the Northern side in the Civil War....while many GG Granduncles serve on the Northern side....they want more?....they need to come and try and take it
“By mid-May he’ll be for cutting million dollar checks for blacks.”
When Bernie starts writing Checks for Blacks I’d like him to remember the Irish and Their Plight during the Famine imposed on them by the British.
When they arrived in the USA they were conscripted and Died either for the North or the South. The Irish at that time were abused by all.
I despise the reporters and activists who keep bringing this subject up over and over and over. What does slavery have to do with the current black situation?
Went to a work happy hour once where one of the young, single guys “bought” all the girls drinks. He then skipped out before the check came.
This is exactly who Bernie Sanders is.
The following day we did make him pay his fair share of the check. However, it took a lot of shaming and ridicule to get him to do it.
We have been paying reparations for years now. Its called Affirmative action, welfare, food stamps, etc

Yes, I believe we’ve been doing that since the 60’s, with the result of making it worse, doing away with the need for a family and creating a whole culture of feral humans
There is slavery now. It is not ok the way illegals are treated, far worse than black slaves at the time, who are trapped without benefit of laws, in living conditions and working conditions far inferior to most black slaves in the 1700s. They owe everything to their coyotes and their employers can also dock pay for housing, etc, making them virtual slaves. They have as much recourse for help as the slaves from Africa.
There are illegals, some underaged, stolen from their families in Central America and used as prostitutes here, literally kept under lock and key and brought around to the fields for the men to use.
Forget about ancient history. What reparations have Jews received from the German government since Hitler?
It wasn’t much $ but my relatives including my dad accepted it. They lost many lives and millions of $ by today’s $. But none of us wanted citizenship.
Seems I read 388,000 slaves were recorded as being sold to the US. I am wondering how many AAs have actually researched to see if they are directly related to one of them.
Honestly, I bet most are. Who knows how many people think they are “white” and they also have direct genetic ties to American slaves?

ROFL!
>The phrase, “throwing good money after bad” comes to mind.
Well, there *is* a BIT of a distinction:
You throwing YOUR $$...I have no care
You throwing MY $$...
Isn’t it racist to imply that poor people are black?
It was the natives in Africa that captured other natives then sold them worldwide.
