So, a San Francisco reparations panel pitches $5 million — each — to black residents. This totally blows out the recent California Reparations Task Force proposal for reparations of $223,000 per recipient according to their recent report.
Adding insult to injury is the contradiction that California has always been a Free State since statehood.
If such reparations are actually made, then send the bill to one major remaining guilty party responsible for slavery, Jim Crow discrimination, and the KKK terrorism inflicted upon freed slaves and their descendants.
Of course it would be the Democratic Party, whose sordid history is consistently wrong on race.
This San Francisco panel must stipulate that all reparation funds will be collected from the bank accounts of the Democratic Party, all Democrat subsidiaries, and all leadership and members. These monies could then be disbursed to eligible recipients.
Anything else would be a whitewash, and another exercise in Democrat gaslighting of Americans to forget the Democratic Party's racist history.
Let the Democrats and their ilk be hoisted with their own petard.
Mr. Reiss is correct.
Excellent. I was just making this argument this very morning. Go ahead Dhimmicrat party - knock yourselves out assuaging your white guilt. Only make sure you’re doing it with YOUR money.
Democrats blocked the first black man elected to Congress from taking his seat.
Hiram Rhodes Revels arrived on Capitol Hill to take his seat as the first Black member of the U.S. Congress in 1870. But first, the Mississippi Republican faced Democrats determined to block him.
The Constitution requires senators to hold citizenship for at least nine years, and they argued Revels had only recently become a citizen with the 1866 Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment. Before that, the Supreme Court had ruled in its 1857 Dred Scott decision that Black people weren’t U.S. citizens.
This technicality wasn’t actually their main issue with Revels. At the time, the Democrats were the party of white southern men, and they simply didn’t want any Black men in Congress.
Reparations should be paid fairly. To be absolutely fair we should pay reparations in Confederate money.
History is the truth, they don’t want you to know the truth, they want you to know their truth. The rats are into it up to their ears throughout history and hold the only ticket to this sh## show. Now they are pawning this off on all white people as they rise above this as the black races protectors in all this.
I have a better idea. Put it on the tax return whether you want to contribute part or all of your tax return to the reparations fund. You can even have a box that enables you to contribute part of your monthly earnings. Then people can check the box, put how much they want to contribute and be done with it. Then the state can divide that money up amongst the approved applicants. Have the program run for 10 years.
By doing this, those who feel guilty enough to contribute will and those who think this entire sham is just that do not have to. That’s the most fair and equitable way to do it. Every year, on April 15th, the prior years contributions will be announced with the amount that each individual in the program will receive.
