Good!!!! pass it!!!
We may actually get a senate seat out of it if they do.
And if not, then I have legal grounds to divorce my wife based on the intolerable cruelty of her asking me to still live here.
And if we must tear down symbols and ban of the Southern side of the civil war because of its association with slavery, then we should tear down symbols of the Democrats for the same reason.
The Democrats are not only the party constantly trying to condemn America for its past sins. In most cases they were the party that committed the sins. Slavery. The trail of Tears. Japanese Internment. Jim Crow Laws. Lynchings. The KKK. More recently the Weather Underground. Antifa thugs. And BLM thugs. Always the party of division and hate. If any entity in America owes restitution, its the Democrat party.
I had two ancestors serve and die in the Union army. I want my 50% cut from descendants of slaves who receive compensation.
A large amount of white immigrants were indentured servants for years to pay for passage to America in 1700-1800s. So why do they think slaves were only black? They had free passage to America to be sold, and owned by other blacks as well. The fact that slaves were only owned by whites is a myth.
Trying to hold a generation of whites accountable, whose ancestors may never have owned slaves or who would never have been in agreement with slavery is ludicrous! That is over 300 years ago. Those who took taxpayer monies in the past 50-60 years as food stamps/welfare were predominately black, do we ask for refund if reparations are approved?
Most Americans descendants probably weren’t in America when slavery occurred yet being forced to pay for it. If anyone should pay for it, its the DEM party, not America
Zero comments on source.
So dig up the actual criminals. Don’t punish those who had nothing to do with it.
Especially the descendants of those who suffered or died in that war.
Good points. There are an endless amount of arguments against this idiotic idea.
Descendant or not. Even if your great great great grandfather owned a slave, descendants do not share the guilt of ancestors. What they’re doing is criminalizing a skin color. It’s a crime in itself.
As a native New Yorker, FUNY!!!
What about the family descendants of immigrant Yankee soldier that were used as cannon fodder during by the North in the civil war? How do they benefit?
I understand that. There are an endless amount of arguments and combinations of arguments against this idiotic idea.
These people continue to be very dangerous and should never be allowed to gain control to the point where they would be able to attempt to round up white people. This time the “Jews” are armed.
And so it starts - watch this get copied in other states and turn into an avalanche.
Time to start looking for a place in Mexico? or Canada?
“round up white people”. Roll the dice.
I would add that if reparations were paid it would be
a one time deal only and we would never have to hear
any more about it from these DESCENDENTS of victims.
The families of those who died to free the slaves should also have reparations as their loved ones, mostly the bread winners in the family died, leaving those families poverty stricken for two generations....
BTW, you’re welcome for the free libraries, public education, hospitals, penicillin, clean water, ice cubes, air conditioning, Iphones, McDonalds, Levi’s and Boom Boxes...
Grow up.
