“No one who inflicts injury on anyone else, they don’t volunteer reparations.”

Can he seriously argue that point from a legal standpoint?

Can a person wait until the one who inflicted the injury is dead and then sue their relatives successfully?

With all his meandering on who should get...what they should get...how much they should get...from whom and in what form, it looks like the muslim wants to keep this thing going so he can get a piece of the race-pimp pie.

Didn’t realize Rep. Ellison had been a slave.

When, where, and who liberated him?

==

If these shakedowners got reparations every 10 years, they would still be back for more. That is who they are. That is what they do.

If Ellison were really concerned, he would be concerned about the ‘current’ slave trade in various Middle Eastern and African nations. Some of which is black on black; some of which is Muslem on non-Muslum.

“...a non-profit organization that specialized in representing clients living in poverty”

Many thousands, of all races and heritages, have managed to find a their way out of poverty. How did they do that? Work, determination, education, perseverance, effort ...

"Yes, I think we need to study reparations. When there’s injury there should be redress, right?"

Fine, I'll agree to reparations - as long as it's stipulated that they can only be disbursed to those who were slaves.

Keith Maurice Ellison (born August 4, 1963)

______________________________________________________
Thats 1963 not 1863 so you do not qualify for victimhood payments, nor will I feel guilt for a practice that ended 102 years before your birth.

However, Ellison wasn’t there.

The historical wrong Mr.Ellison, would have been allowing
a beguiler like yourself ever be accorded the recognition as a member of Congress. IMO No Muslim ought qualify for Congress as they fundamentally lack the necessary allegiance to this
Country and our way of life. We were established by Christians to be a nation among the Christian nations of the Western
Civilization. But as Mr.Lincoln said in 1863 Fast day proclamation “We have forgotten God.”Perhaps Ellison ought be sent back to school under Mr. Thomas Sowell to correct the
Congressman’s understanding of what he claims is a historical wrong.

‘We Were Held In Slavery Longer Than We’ve Been Free’

So go sue your democrat party. If your sense of the Confederacy is so acute it allows you to mock those who fought under the Stars and Bars as traitors you should also understand it was your democrat party who worked so diligently to maintain de facto enslavement after the Civil war.

And that faith you embrace, you're the ones who sold the blacks into slavery in the first place and still believe in slavery.

Ellison, yer a putz.

It simply doesn’t register anymore. Other than to remind me to buy more ammo.

American slaved were enslave by black Africans in Ghana, Gambia, Senegal ,

If they really wanted reparations, wouldn't make sense to go to the original perpetrators??? Have you ever heard of anyone asking for reparations from Ghana, Gambia, Senegal???

Let Barry pay him, he's got slave traders on one side of the family, slave owners on the other.

Census records, genealogical research show forebears of Obama’s mother owned slaves

If you want to know how Reparations payments would go simply study the Pigford shakedown.

NewsOne: Do you agree that reparations should be awarded to the African-American community for the economic and psychological impact of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim and Jane Crow, the Civil Rights Era, and the Reagan Era when drugs flooded our communities?

I guess a case can be made (a very weak one) for all these things listed as reasons for reparations....except...

But how in the world can the black community hold Reagan from the 1980's WAY PAST the civil rights era is responsible for black people killing their own communities by selling, abusing and using the drug "crack"...

Black people sold it, black people used it, black people abused it, black people profited from it...

and these morons want us to pay them for their own immoral behavior...

Sorry...I forgot they are liberals

And most inner-city blacks are still living under slavery today. They get their rent paid by section 8, food stamps, free medical care paid for in exchange for “staying on the democrat plantation”.

I’’ll bet that if his ancestors weren’t held as slaves in America he’d be a slave in Africa right now. Or he’d be living in poverty.

When both the perpetrator and the victim are dead, in this case for many years, the statute of limitations has expired. Both the bible and secular law forbids visiting the sins of the father on the child.

Get over it Keith, if you want to address slavery talk to Islam which still practices and condones that practice and pedophilia.

Hey Keith, 147 years later tell your people to get their pants off the ground, take advantage of the free public education, speak the common language,get a job and try get married before having 4 kids. Maybe the white population would like to finally be free from you.

As far as reparations go what do you think the welfare state since LBJ’s Great Society has been?

Wonder which Party he stands for? The Republican Party was founded to abolish SLAVERY and Polygamy. Today the descendents of the slaves freed by the REPUBLICANS all vote Democratic. And the MORMONS all vote REPUBLICAN.
