We’ve had 50 years and trillions of dollars of reparations and all it did was destroy the black family.

Okay, if you can find an individual who suffered as a slave, you can pay them from the taxes you can take from the person who kept said slave.

My great grandfather was shot in the leg in the Civil War.
There’s your reparations, Danny. You’re welcome!

And create complete and utter fools like Sheila Jackson Lee.

Allow me to enlighten the cretinous SJL:

It will take a sea change in personal responsibility to .. repair some of the damage that .. the African-American community has inflicted on itself.

Three ancestors. Three. Served in the Union Army.

My debt (if I had one which I don’t) has been paid threefold.

"...Danny Glover has been a strong supporter of H.R. 40 and we would love to have him as a witness providing his point of view..."

Yeah. Just what we need is more input and opinion from worthless leftist scum who make their living by memorizing and reciting a script.

I used to like Danny Glover years ago, but he and people like Samuel L. Jackson have chosen to support things that go against every impulse that made ungrateful douchebags like them rich.

Um, no! I won’t pay a white tax. Period.

My ancestors never owned a single slave. Over my dead body.

LBJ’s Great Society was reparations. And look what they did with it. Feral-America has got nothing coming.

The civil war, great society, and affirmative action were reparations.
