Sen. Cory Booker announced a bill Monday to form a commission to recommend reparations for slavery, taking the reins of one of the most intriguing and controversial agenda items from the 2020 campaign.
Mr. Booker becomes the highest-profile lawmaker to sign onto reparations legislation.
He said it could solve persistent racism and discrimination that have been built into the system for decades, leading to disparate outcomes for all black Americans.

Everyone who was a slave deserves reparations but none of them are still alive, so its a moot point.

Not one slave owned by Republicans. Not one.
So, sure. Collect from DNC all you want.

I’ve already paid, big time. There is no way I’ll ever vote democrat, the party of muzzies, racism, hate for Whites, killing babies, and hatred for this country.

Either this reparations program is a weakly disguised redistribution plan, or it is an attempt at forcing whites into being a permanently disadvantaged and highly taxed class. Jizya for being white.
Either way, it won’t be tolerated for long, if at all.

White people were slaves in Islamic countries once. How about we shake down these oil rich princes instead?

I’m gonna tell you, I really believe behind the scenes these Dem politicians everywhere have been talking this up for a while like it could happen. A month ago I was at a city hall where people get a business license. I over hear in the next room (had 5 people all black in it). A guy was talking about after they get reparations and something else they need to quit there energy in race issues and focus on other things to better the community. Their heart is in it that they believe they will get it.

Actually, no.
We are not in arrears to even the former slaves if any were still around.
