Rep.-elect Jamaal Bowman: "We need to bring H.R. 40 to the floor for a vote. We need reparations for the African American community. We need a federal jobs guarantee. We need Medicare for all."

Yup. Just above and between their eyebrows......
Could you please elucidate for me why this entitles blacks living in the U.S. today to reparations? Because very few Americans living here today had any involvement with owning slaves; many come from families who didn't even emigrate to the U.S. until well after the Civil War was over, like mine. And many blacks living here today also emigrated to the U.S. well after the Civil War? Here's another question: who is black [enough] to "qualify" for your "reparations"? Someone with one great-great-great* grandparent who was a slave? Or do you have to have 2? Tell us, O brilliant Jamaal. And how is the amount of these "reparations" to be determined?
After issuing you a huge Bronx cheer at the very stupidity of your asinine idea, I'll offer you and anyone else looking for "reparations" another idea: get off your lazy looking-for-a-payout derriere and get a job. And no, the Federal government (that be us, bro) doesn't "owe" you or any other group a job. You get a job when you have qualifications suitable to perform the job, not as a guarantee. You don't skip classes, fail to do the work entailed with classes, disrupt others trying to learn, have kids out of wedlock, and then expect to be handed a job, just like that, leaving those who worked hard for their degrees standing there empty handed. Can you imagine anyone undergoing surgery by a doctor who got their job that way? Would you trust your finances to an accountant who got their job that way? Or your car to a mechanic who was handed his job just like that? Absolutely NOT! And do you expect the people who had better things to do than sit and study and prepare to support themselves then merit free medical care--Medicare? Absolutely NOT. I'd tell such nervy people to take a short walk off a long pier. And I'm telling you the same, you wannabe hustler. A legislator needs a better role model than Al Sharpton, professional racist and tax cheat. I feel sorry for the people who voted for you, because it must have been in ignorance.
IT WILL PASS!
If Biden manages to steal this election, we will get to see all kinds of communist crap passed and the only way to stop it is if states split.
We will get to see the worst recession in the history of the country with Dementia Joe as the make believe POTUS.
Gibsmedat!

I had two great-great-great uncles who fought for the Union. I have no idea whether they survived Gettysburg. Their names are on plaques on the large, elegant Pennsylvania memorial, which is located in the Battlefield Park.

Well, we both deserve 40 acres. They can keep the mule.
Affirmative Action. It’s already happened. There have been too many over-advantages for minorities over the years. So no need for reparations
We need to rid the country of every commie!
If the Dems win in Georgia what’s to stop them?
“ “We” need to rid Washington DC of every communist.”
Might I suggest a one megaton nuclear device?
There isn’t anything but communists in Washington D.C.
You need to learn to live like civilized people. Until then, the only thing the rest of us “need” to do is ignore you.
“reparations for the African American community.”?
My grand folks came here from Sweden after the war between the states.
How does that make ME and my Kin responsible for slavery?
