The Democrats were stupid enough to open this door. Now they will have to deal with it. Its patently obviously that no one is getting a reparations check for something that happened 160+ years ago, but they stirred up all sorts of expectations.
Wikipedia.com - "List of last survivors of American slavery"
Peter Mills (October 26, 1861 – September 22, 1972) was the last known verified[by whom?] surviving American man born into legal slavery: he died in 1972 aged 110.[1][dubious – discuss]
Mills was born in Prince George's County, Maryland on October 26, 1861. After the Civil War, he worked on his father's farm every day during the week before leaving to work in Baltimore and Washington, DC where he dug sewers, was a bricklayer and plasterer and played baseball in his spare time. Mills eventually moved to Pittsburgh after first visiting in 1881. Mills was killed by a driver in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 22, 1972. He outlived his five wives.[2][3][4]
It wasn’t stupid, at all.
The call for reparations is the perfect creation to perpetuate an imaginary injustice.
It will never happen, they’ll feel cheated, and thus vote democrat.
Ironically, President Lincoln actually did establish grants for freed slaves where they would get 40 acres and a surplus mule from the army. The land was carved out of plantations.
The program came to a screeching halt when a Democrat shot Lincoln in the head and the new president didn’t like the idea.
