I just got a call from a cousin of a cousin who was told there was a black great great great great great uncle thrice removed with 45 grand babies of which one was a direct ancestor of my great great aunt twice removed.

Where’s my check?

I had two great-great-great uncles who fought for the Union at Gettysburg, which was the Civil War’s version of the Battle of Cowpens. Will I be exempt?

Would it be OK with him if I redirected what I supposedly owe to the Robert Woodson foundation, Urban CURE and Project 21 instead?

I’ll gladly pay $1,000,000 for every slave that I have ever owned. Take it or leave it.

Paid upon repatriation to Africa, upon disembarking each will be paid in Zimbabwean dollars. No returns to the US at all.

what about reparations for white people? It’s turning out there were probably more white slaves than black- And blacks were slave owners- many were slave traders- Kamala Harris’ kin were slave owners-

Mot gonna make Canarsie,Crown Heights, and Flatlands in Brooklyn applaud. Jamaicans, Haitians, Barbadans will not be included. They can petition Prince Charles and Pres Macaroon for their reparation.

IF this country stooped to giving reparations- the black folks will blow through all the money, then demand more- and more- and more- it will never ever end-
