You need reparations, Jamaal? For what, exactly, do you need reparations? Because well over a century ago, most blacks here were slaves and some Americans were slaveowners? Including some blacks who also owned slaves?

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.

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.

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 Washington DC of every communist.”

Might I suggest a one megaton nuclear device?

There isn’t anything but communists in Washington D.C.

”We need reparations for the African American community. We need a federal jobs guarantee. We need Medicare for all.”

You need to learn to live like civilized people. Until then, the only thing the rest of us “need” to do is ignore you.

Back in the ‘60s it was Just Let Us Go To Your Schools! Then we make what you make!

That didn’t work so it was

Just Let Us Get Preferences Into Yo Big Jobs!

That didn’t work so it was

Just Let Us Run Yo Country So’s We Can Make Da Changes Whut Make Us Rich!

That didn’t work so now it’s

Just Give Us Dem Reparations So’s We Can Hab Da Big Houses!

And that will go on an on forever...until the realize they can’t make the power plants run, design and build the cars/houses/airplanes/telephones/computers/whatever and then it’ll be...pleez come back and make all that stuff work again!

And the cycle will start over...only if we’re stupid enough to fall for it
