“Theoretically, you can make, obviously, a powerful argument that centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination are the primary cause for all those gaps [between white and black people],” - Obama said in the interview. - “That those were wrongs done to the black community as a whole, and black families specifically, and that in order to close that gap, a society has a moral obligation to make a large, aggressive investment, even if it’s not in the form of individual reparations checks, but in the form of a Marshall Plan, in order to close those gaps.”

The country has been paying reparations to nonslaves for close to 60 years. Some people just need a dirt nap.
God, I can’t wait to be done with this loathsome leftist.
Laz! How many more days until this loathsome creature is out of the White House?
We already have reparations — it is called “welfare” and we paid trillions into it.
...obviously, a powerful argument that centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination are the primary cause....
What is obvious, since slavery, Jim Crow, and discrimination are Democrat institutions, they should look solely to the DNC for any payment.
I would support a one way ticket back to their homeland.
I say go ahead and give them their reparations.
The following day they’ll be happily and graciously giving it all back to the white man.
Then they can’t bitch anymore.
Th problem is the work ethic....from when they are very little. They do not have good parents in many cases...like we did. Parents who insisted we work in school and at home...to become better and to have our own families someday who will become "giving" citizens....not "taking" citizens.
Barack Obama is descended from slave owners on both his maternal and paternal sides, not a slave in the bunch. Somehow, I just don’t think he’s thought this thing through at all.
Too many for me.
Barry Soetero and Moochelle are doing pretty good with all that racism.
Including millions of blacks, right here in America living the high life, (Oprah, Woopie, Spike, Montell) just to name a few.
The truth is that black people are much much better off here in the USA than anywhere else on the planet.

If you’re a racist, hateful, lazy, lunatic.
Welfare set-asides for Africans, affirmative action for Africans, scholarships for Africans, klans like BLM, NAACP, for Africans and so goes the endless list. Ask yourself why none of these are available to Europeans and what would happen if someone proposed setting up such a program. The Africans are about nothing except race, period. The elephant in the closet yet rests with inborne differences in IQ and initiative, but let’s not talk of the facts, for these truths are unpleasant.
White tax? What do you call a tax on tanning beds?
It’s time to start counting from noon eastern time now as we get close. As of 9 am eastern standard time now Dec. 26 the obamanation has 25 days and 3 hours left.
What about us white folk that fought for the freedom of the blacks? We lost people, wage earners who died. What about their back wages?
How about all the men and women who died keeping the country safe? What about their lost wages and lives? If they had not died protecting this country there would not be any welfare.
