“We” need to rid Washington DC of every communist.
The h3ll we do! We need none of the above.
I’ll happily pay reparations to any black person who was born in 1865 or earlier, and is still alive today.
Is this a troll on FR? We all know better than to forfeit our liberty in exchange for slavery for everyone.
“We need”is socialist/adolescent/tween speak for “gimme”.
RE: We need to bring H.R. 40 to the floor for a vote. We need reparations. We need a federal jobs guarantee. We need Medicare for all”
While you’re at it, add these as well :
* Free transportation for all
* Free college for all
* Free housing for all
* Free clothing for all
* Free food for all
I think their goal is for all government jobs to be held by black and only black people. Hello Rwanda.
Baloney! Every Communist needs an addition of a 3rd nostril.
Kiss my arse, Bowman.
My family didn’t have slave[s] and I don’t intend my tax dollar should go to pay you or any non slave for slavery that hasn’t been here in well over one hundred years.
So you can kindly flock off.
The only reparations due people like him are due is “repatriation” to their ancestral homelands from which they were sold into slavery by their fellow persons of color...
It is those countries which created them as slaves that should be asked for reparations...
Also, it’s interesting that most of those countries are still making money selling people as slaves...
Without question it would pass. Not only does have 173 co-sponsors, but it sets up one of the favorite vehicles of the criminal class to take credit and score political points for doing nothing while putting the blame on someone else when things don't work out: it sets up a commission.
H. R. 40To address the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.
Didn’t some one say it would cost 70 trillion for single payer/med for all?
I would argue that you have been receiving reparations for over fifty years. And..... if you want a revolution, just try and pass this.
I want compensation for a great great uncle and for my great grandfather’s leg. They were lost freeing the slaves.
What does my family get for that?
Could you please elucidate for me why this entitles blacks living in the U.S. today to reparations? Because very few Americans living here today had any involvement with owning slaves; many come from families who didn't even emigrate to the U.S. until well after the Civil War was over, like mine. And many blacks living here today also emigrated to the U.S. well after the Civil War? Here's another question: who is black [enough] to "qualify" for your "reparations"? Someone with one great-great-great* grandparent who was a slave? Or do you have to have 2? Tell us, O brilliant Jamaal. And how is the amount of these "reparations" to be determined?
After issuing you a huge Bronx cheer at the very stupidity of your asinine idea, I'll offer you and anyone else looking for "reparations" another idea: get off your lazy looking-for-a-payout derriere and get a job. And no, the Federal government (that be us, bro) doesn't "owe" you or any other group a job. You get a job when you have qualifications suitable to perform the job, not as a guarantee. You don't skip classes, fail to do the work entailed with classes, disrupt others trying to learn, have kids out of wedlock, and then expect to be handed a job, just like that, leaving those who worked hard for their degrees standing there empty handed. Can you imagine anyone undergoing surgery by a doctor who got their job that way? Would you trust your finances to an accountant who got their job that way? Or your car to a mechanic who was handed his job just like that? Absolutely NOT! And do you expect the people who had better things to do than sit and study and prepare to support themselves then merit free medical care--Medicare? Absolutely NOT. I'd tell such nervy people to take a short walk off a long pier. And I'm telling you the same, you wannabe hustler. A legislator needs a better role model than Al Sharpton, professional racist and tax cheat. I feel sorry for the people who voted for you, because it must have been in ignorance.
IT WILL PASS!
If Biden manages to steal this election, we will get to see all kinds of communist crap passed and the only way to stop it is if states split.
We will get to see the worst recession in the history of the country with Dementia Joe as the make believe POTUS.
