Your “Dear Danny” letter is a simple way to answer the question “On what basis are “reparations” Constitutionally permitted.”

We can talk all day long about racism, why reparations would and would not be practical, etc etc, blah blah blah, but the discussion needs to be pushed in the direction of the Constitutional threshold. If I am not mistaken, there are court cases where companies paid damages for the Holocaust and were payable to victims or their families. On the surface, one institution is still around that was pro-slavery - the demokraps. They will scream that all the slave owners went to the GOP (ROFLMAO), but too bad ... their party needs to come clean, own up to their historical beliefs/roots in slavery, and pay reparations, ... if there is a Constitutional basis to bring the action before a court, or to allow Congress to pass a law that will allow said reparations. This reparations discussion will be great if the GOP can keep the focus on the demokraps history in slavery and how it was a GOP POTUS that ended it.

“Black people ought to kiss the ground here and be thankful that somewhere in their families’ distant past an ancestor was driven from his African home by an Arab muslim and sold to a waiting ship, bringing him the the US.”

One small clarification:

NOT the U.S. necessarily, rather, the territory occupied by the Dutch, French, Spanish and British - PRIOR to becoming the U.S...

Conyers resigned over sexual harassment charges. He should have been charged with treason. He was Moscow/KGB’s man in congress. See WWW.keywiki.org search under his name for the facts.

Considering they were already enslaved when european slave traders purchased them, i think they should try and get reparations from the arabs or current inhabitants of africa

1. My ancestors were too poor to own slaves. Therefore not one cent of my money should go to reparations.
2. Not all blacks in the US are descended from slaves and should not get reparations.
3. Many men fought and died to end slavery therefore their ancestors should be exempt from paying reparations.
4. Decades of affirmative action and social programs were a form of reparations therefore no additional reparations should be paid to anyone.
5. Why are they not going after the descendants of the Africans who sold their fellow Africans into slavery?

“America was the first country to end chattel slavery and Republicans are the people who did it - the Republican party was begun because of the Democrat need to have slaves.”

I think that distinction actually goes to the French and English

I remember Danny Glover picking cotton before the Civil War just like it was yesterday.

Let’s see. I can support “reparations” if it works like this: “Reparations” means making amends by paying money to an aggrieved party. So, having made amends, the issues related are to be considered by all, including the aggrieved, to be set right. The slate is wiped clean, because that is what the recipient of reparations agrees to. So, no more claims of racism, no more whining about America’s slave holding past, no affirmative action, no “white privilege”, no preferential treatment, no quotas. I”m sure all of you can add to this list of what would be permanently and forever off the table. Solved. Made whole.

In 2 years the people who had the money in the first place would have it all back anyway.
