The word is "incidents" and exactly how is this going to prevent some drug addled nut from killing people?

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus are calling for a national ban on the use of the Confederate flag on any government property — including license plates.
The CBC lawmakers introduced a resolution Thursday in the aftermath of last week's racially motivated shooting during Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., that killed nine people.
"A hate crime of this nature must lead to effective legislation that will curtail similar incidences in the future," CBC Chairman G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) said in a statement.

The Congressional Black Taliban has spoken!
It’s 3.2 million, according to the Attorney General.
> Then their idea of racism will be done and over with, right?
Not as long as there’s money to be made from white guilt. They’ll milk that teat forever as long as there’s more to come.

Yes. The worst crime you can commit is to not sing the praises of anyone other than straight white males. It is the NEW 2nd Amendment.
There are “people of color” and non colored people. There is no such thing as white.
I wonder if Christina would kindly be professional enough to point out the shameless and pervasive and overt racism and bigotry from the black community?
Tell the world in general, and the CBC in particular, some of most egregious racial sins from the likes of Jamie Foxx, Spike Lee, Whoppi Goldberg, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Louis Farakkan, ‘Reverends’ Wright, Sharpton, Jackson.
Don’t see the need to give the white man a fair shake?
In short - no.

This black crap is getting tired. America will explode soon.
Crybabies. The little boys are afraid of a piece of cloth.
How about calling for the removal of that anti-American piece of trash living on government property at the W.H.?

Well they can dig up their great great great grandparents after they dig up mine and get the money from their pockets to habpnd to them because I had no part in it and the way i see it I’ve already done slave labor reparations for over 35 years by handing over as much as 1/4 of my earnings in income taxes excluding all sales tax and other taxes and fees so they can KMA.

And all they have to do to stop most of this $hit is just remove one negro from the WH
39,000,000 black people in America x $1M each = $39,000,000,000,000.
Compare that to the $3,500,000,000,000 spent by the federal government in 2014. That’s 11x.
Or compare it to the $17.5T of the US GNP. 2.3x
Or the roughly $200T of all assets in the US. 20%.
This may give us some understanding of why the government didn’t just “buy all the slaves in 1860 and set them free,” when their total value was 50x the federal budget. Or, somewhat apples to apples, 5x as expensive as giving each black person $1M today would be.
Unless I’ve misplaced a number of decimal points somewhere. Which, sadly, is entirely possible. :)
Anytime you start talking about giving a lot of money to a large number of people, the numbers get really big really quickly. But people seldom realize just how large. This is why all the millions of people damaged by cigarette smoking were never going to collect millions each.
BTW, if such a program were put into place, can you imagine the uproar over who qualifies as “black?”
You can settle that easily by using the old Democratic (segregationist) rule. "One drop of black blood."
But how do you prove that one drop? Is DNA testing really able to make such determinations accurately?
Without something like that, it can’t be proven one way or the other.
Dumber than usual. First, estimates of the financial cost of the war vary widely, but $5 billion is within reason. That averages out to around $1250 for each slave - that's the very top of the market.
The real point that you studiously avoid is: this hypothetical buyback of slaves would have been paid for mostly with the taxes of the slaveowners. Kinda like taxing gun owners to compensate for gun seizure.
Really dumb - unless one believes all money belongs to the government and it gets to decide what individuals can keep.
