Yes, Conyer’s wife Monica has been moved to a half-way house waiting to get out of federal prison for bribery.
All former slaves who are still alive should be paid reparations by their former owners.
Sorry, Conyers.
We’re broke.
We’re bankrupt from spending too much on sosh security, welfare, disability and Obamaphones.
What about slavery currently occuring in his home country of the Congo???
Democrats have a new form of Slavery!
I think your “reparations” are eight years of our current occupant of the Whitehouse....
Don’t anyone try to tell me that the government and its wacky politicians and bureaucrats aren’t completely out of control. This country is done. Finished. I just don’t see any way for us to get out of this. Too many crazies and idiots in Washington and the U.S. Government.
One way tickets back to the Motherland I could go for.
Let’s put the pencil to the trillions of tax dollars spent in welfare, the wasted education money, the justice system and the incarceration of Blacks since 1960. I’d say that is more than enough “reparation” (i.e.: shakedown money) for a group who has been in the USA for almost 300 years and still can’t make it.
Maybe these whiners should check out the Vietnamese and Chinese for some clues as to how to succeed in America. For starters, ALL government subsidies to this dependent group should be eliminated. With the USA dead broke, it should be sink-or-swim time for the Takers.
Reparations? Our family already paid. Nobody in Conyer's downline was even in the fight.
Sure - it would be okay to pay reparations to any actual living former slaves.
At least to those who didn’t already get their 40 acres and a mule.
This is a stick-up. Hand over the wallet.

So, when do us tax slaves get our reparations?
I will happily pay reparations to every slave I have ever owned. OK? That’s it, problem solved.
The country is ruined as it is, therefore the debt MUST have already been paid.
300,000 dead (nearly all white) Union soldiers already paid this debt.
This race hustler needs to find a new line of work.
Give them an acre of land, a mule and let them homestead on all of the vacant lots here in Detroit. Trouble with this solution is most of the blacks wouldn’t apply for this due to being lazy and being on the Government Dole. Working the land would constitute having a job and same would negate their Welfare Monies?
As long as they hand them their checks on the gangplank in Africa after signing a pledge never to return and renouncing citizenship.
I just called Conyers office (Washington Office: 202-225-5126) and explained to the staffer that my dad, an member of the NYPD for 23 years, was passed over for a promotion to sergeant after 18 years on the job...the promotions were given to people who had half his job experience and received half the score on the sergeants exam than my dad did.. the only reason these people, who were significantly less qualified than my father, got the promotion was they were not white and my father was white....
i asked if congressman Conyers would fight for reparations for the victims of affirmative action such as my dad- qualified people who lost out on jobs, job promotions, college admission, college tuition assistance to lesser qualified individuals simply because they were white...
i asked the staffer if Conyers is going to fight on behalf of the victims of a government policy that encouraged the discriminatory practice of slavery on blacks shouldn’t he not be a hypocrite and fight on behalf of the victims who suffered under the government policy that encouraged discrimination against qualified people simply because they were white???
Give all the blacks a house to fix up in Detroit as long as they sign a contract to stay there and never take another cent from the government.
