Well, who you going to vote for in 2020????
It’s already been paid many times over
With Union lives
With post 65 transfer payments and other
UnConstitutional handouts and giveaways
Millions of Chinese wish their ancestors would have been taken to America as slaves.
I would gladly pay reparations to anyone who wants them as long as they 1)renounce their citizenship, 2)leave the USA immediately, 3) never return, and are subject to summary execution if they return for any reason.
Dems know it would never happen. It’s obvious it’s a campaign season gimmick catering to the blacks for votes. Anyone who believes otherwise is a fool.
Sniff, sniff...
no choice but to vote for Trump. I’m no marxist or socialist.
I think blacks owe the taxpayers reparations for all the welfare, Headstart etc., as well as the destruction of almost every city where they live.
Do the white descendants of European ancestors who had family members taken away as slaves by the African Barbary Pirates get Reparations from the African Americans?
My grandfather was raised in a Civil War Soldiers Orphan’s School.
...the path to restorative justice.
There's justice, and then there is stuff that has a modifier that isn't justice.
A clear majority of violent crimes are committed by black people because of the way they were raised. Prison statistics back that up. So maybe white people should get paid reparations.
This whole topic gives me vision problems...
I can’t see my ass paying one penny in reparations to these clowns.
How does she have a last name like Jackson Lee, both Civil War generals? She’s a racist. Unless Robert E. Lee raped Stonewall Jackson and produced a brained-damaged baby=Sheila Jackson Lee. Give her some reparations. She has been irreparably harmed.
I can envision Democrats establishing a new department, the "Department of Reparations" which would be responsible for studying and advising on how to go about making blacks, Indians, gays, transsexuals, illegals, etc. "whole" again.
They could grow that department over the years, and eventually give it powers to actually start taking from some to give to others under the "guidelines" developed.
Since the 1800s a lot of African people have intermarried - a lot of European-Americans have African slave blood etc.
What is behind this is twofold
I'll talk about the second - while many black people are on par with white people, it is true that a large number are poor and stuck in poverty.
But I don't see this as a black only problem - the same problem is faced by whites in the UK and has the same causes: a lot of single-mother families with absentee fathers and children by multiple different males. Welfare exacerbates it, but that's the core
If you take a poor, dirt poor black family where the parents have low education but, BUT, they are married and stay together and raise the children together, I can guarantee that the black children, even if raised in a "ghetto" will do better than their counterparts, even white counterparts of single-mother families.
1. Do the reparation seekers understand African tribes sold their ancestors into slavery? The African continent continues to practice slavery. Do the reparation seekers understand the irony?
2. All of my ancestors arrived into United States in early 20th century and settled in the northeastern part. It is problematic to prove any liability on my part to pay reparations.
Let’s be clear. Racism will never cease to be an issue until the Democrat Party is completely rendered irrelevant OR the country is completely destroyed and living in a tribal-based dystopia, in which case everyone’s a racist to all other races while Elysium Deep State Elites watches in ultra-luxury.
