Lee said, “The commission would study reparation proposals. We would not dictate to the commission its design but, clearly, it would be designed for those descendants of slavery. Tragically, 250 years of slavery in the United States for those enslaved Africans did not receive workman’s comp, salary, 401(k), or anything, and literally built the wealth of the United States and Europe. That’s why it was called the trans-Atlantic slave trade, taking enslaved Africans from Africa, frankly, from many parts of Africa. This commission would have the authority appointed by the President, the Majority Leader, the Speaker, and scholars, to really dig deep, something that we have never done before and to design the response.”
She added, “I think America is ready for this because of what we have been going through in the last couple of weeks, because of the attitude of our Commander-in-Chief, and because of what we have seen. The dastardly impacts of white nationalism, white supremacy, and outright racism that has impacted others but certainly has impacted over the decades and centuries African-Americans, the descendants of enslaved Africans.”

I demand reparations from Warren. My great...grandparents were killed by Indians and they left the children inside the burning house. Thankfully, two children survived.
How does Sheila think the slave traders obtained their product? Africa had slaves long before the evil white men showed up on their shores and are still using captive slaves today. Time for her to pack her bags and return to her homeland.
Start with Ben Affleck.
If they take money from me for what I didn’t do, I will go on the warpath.
We should institute a second thanksgiving:
The ‘white thanksgiving day’, in which descendants of slaves THANK whites for liberating all other races from the scourge of slavery.
On that day it could be something as simple as, when seeing a white person on the street, telling them thank you!
No monetary compensation or reparations from blacks to whites would be required.
That would be a hoot.
It would be worth it just to see their heads explode.
