Danny Glover, Democratic lawmakers say 'we can't wait' longer for slavery reparations

"The time for reparations is now," former Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer said during a discussion with Glover.

Actor and activist Danny Glover and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer joined Democratic lawmakers to call for the passage of a bill to set up a federal slavery reparations committee, emphasizing that "we can't wait" any longer for reparations.

"We can't wait," Steyer said during a virtual discussion held as part of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference. "This is the moment. The time for reparations is now. We must confront and deal with our history together and repair it as best we can together, if we're ever to move on together."

Fine, pay repatriations. Pay repatriation to the only country that fought a civil war to end slavery, give me my great grand pappy back. Work hard to build the country up that gave you freedom UNlike everywhere else. And thank a white man today.

Everyone who is black on welfare has foolishly remained a slave by their own actions and is living proof of why the world outside of America is full of slavery still. They are living proof of the Souths argument that some blacks are incapable of living a productive civilized life without management, because welfare IS that management.

Every black person who has a job is a red blooded American and is living proof that slavery based on skin color was wrong and is proof that the North was right.

Every single one of them was worth fighting and dying to free.

Now we might have to fight another civil war to kill the slaves that refuse freedom. Because I am not going to accept slavery to them because they really cannot control their base impulses and are incapable of being civilized.

Because my Grand pappy was a confederate, and he was also half right, just like the north.

He’s worth $40 mil. Quite a bit more then the average white working class person. How much more does he think they owe him?

PS Danny: who’s “black”? Should we apply the One Drop Rule? I thought race was a construct.

Instead of waiting for lump sum welfare which will quickly disappear anyway, why don’t you try building a successful life?

Millions of blacks and other minorities have, they can show you the way.

“and deal with our history together”

So uh, Steyer...what’s with the “we” crap, Kemo Sabe?

Your family wasn’t here. Mine fought on both sides of the War Between the States. Y’all didn’t even know such a place existed back then.

All living slave owners in the U.S. should pay reparations to all living slaves in the U.S. Otherwise, not a penny.

I agree. More white people watched his worthless movies than blacks.

Poser's like Steyer, ate up with TDS, don't have the mental apparatus to consider excellent points like yours. He's most likely just kissing Glover's donkey in hopes of support for another failed campaign.

Aside from the Civil War and “affirmative action”, living with 40 million losers, for generations, is more than payment.
Every city in America is crap because of Blacks.
I hear the Central African Republic has lots of land and no Honkies.
Well...bye.

Send his ass back to Africa to get the reparations from the people who captured and sold slaves.

I agree 100%.
Give em the “reparations” that were taken from their ancestors: a spear, a loincloth and a slow, one-way boat trip back to Africa and never return.
That’s the only reparations they’re due..if that much.

The civil war families whose members died fighting to free the slaves have been waiting a lot longer.

We must provide reparations in the form of free sterilization and/or free resettlement in Wakanda.

I want reparations for decades of welfare paid out to the blacks who made living off of the government a way of life

Getting old sucks for a washed-up actor. The money dries up and you start looking for reparations...

Please add Kamala Harris to the top of the list.

Sleeping with a married black man is not considered reparations.

Reparations have been paid in full the shit for brains needs to do the body count that freed them and remember the president who was murdered for doing it.
He needs to take his flash light and play with it in the basement and pretend it’s a spot light.
