Dems Call for Commission on ‘Reparation Proposals’ for ‘246 Years of Slavery’
The First TV ^ | Mon, Jul 25, 2022 | Staff

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee addressed members of the House Monday when she called for the creation of a commission to study and develop “reparations proposals” to address “246 years of slavery.”

“I rise today to promote the commission to study slavery and develop reparation proposals as a way of redress, repair and restoration for the 246 years of slavery. I think it is an important […] moment for the country to pause,” said the Congresswoman.

246 years? Are the Brits going to pony up to the bar and pay for their share of that time frame?

Did she say anything about the slavery currently in over 150 countries today? Are they as immoral as America?

Of course. This is the culmination of years of effort. Years of keeping Blacks down and miserable, just so they could point to them and say “See? you Whiteys did this! We’re going to take your money and redistribute it.”

This is more important to them than even abortion! This is the holy grail! If they start reparations the country is finished. It will mean the total demise of what was a great country.

Do not be fooled! They are serious about this!

Here is my answer: no and no way.

I am open though for any person now who can prove they were a slave to some measure of “reparations”. I think it is called civil law remedy.

Uh, we couldn’t do anything about slavery until we separated from Britain, and then when we did separate, 9 out of 13 states abolished slavery.

And the Democrat party prevented slavery from being abolished in the south until we had a civil war.

AND for a time the Democrats in Congress prevented even discussing slavery in Congress.

So go ahead and have your commission. Examine your own despicable history of slavery.

The Republican Party has nothing to be ashamed of, it was founded in 1854 with the specific purpose of abolishing slavery. And in less than ten years, accomplished it.

So again, go ahead and have your commission. ALL reparations should come from the Democrat Party.

Bills of Attainder, tainting of blood, ex post facto laws are forbidden by the Constitution. These crazed fiends have likely never read it, and if they did, don’t care what it says.

Sure, pay them reparations after subtracting the trillions us racists whites have doled out to them in welfare.

Slavery was the direct result of inequality, and inferiority.

It seems that based on the quality of what amounts to tribal life in American cities, for many Afro Heritage citizens that has not changed.
