Billionaire’s espouse liberal positions so the nutcases on the left will leave them alone.
"Reparations" would be the Fort Sumpter of Civil War II. If it comes to that I will no longer pay Federal income taxes.

Just wondering. Would the slaves owe reparations for the food, clothing, shelter, and pay they received?
ML/NJ
We will follow.*
* No we won't.
They want to take away all our guns then give all our money away....now, we see why the want to take away all our guns.
That’s a real winning combo ya got there, Steyer.
Here’s the whole headline
STEYER BACKS REPARATIONS WITH MY MONEY.
Sick of that 400 years BS. Slavery was abolished 71 years after the constitution was ratified. European colonies prior. Blame them.
Exactly how much more taxpayer monies does Steyer thinks needs to be paid in reparations?
Methinks there has been enough spent on poverty already.
Since no one alive today was a slave or a slave owner, this proposition is basically wishful thinking on Steyer's part.
Pay it out of your own money.
Yeah, that’s right.
Nobody’s stoppin’ Uncle Tom from writing a personal check.
But, no way he gonna buy votes with his own money.
He wants the votes first, will pay with *our* money.
Btw, how’s he polling?
A blip on the poll radar, even?
He says “There’s never been an apology.”
Welp, that’s demonstrably false.
We could spend another 400 years proving it, but I’m already too tired.
Civil Rights Act >> 1964 >> 55 yrs ago
21 or older in 1964 >> born 1943 or before >> 76 yrs or older, not 55.
Not sure any slave got paid, but sure, maintenance costs for the slave owner might be a factor in any hypothetical court case...
All of which is moot since all parties long ago assumed room temperature and there’s thus no longer any case...
Correct
Even if someone was actually a slave, why should someone from the North who lost family members in the civil war owe him anything.
Are they going to exempt American Natives? Asian’s or White’s who’s families didn’t get here until long after the Civil War.
If they want to get money, this is what they need to do: 1) Pull up your pants and put on a belt. Go to school and instead of African History, try something like Business Administration. 2) Don't get tattoos and piercings, especially on your face. When you come in and you look like a painting and enough piercings to set off a metal detector 2 miles away, you are not going to have a good job. Most HR people will not hire you. (Yes, that goes for whites, too.) 3)Get a job, then a house then get a girlfriend. When you get a female pregnant, marry her...if you like her to have sex, why not like her to be married...?
Yes, I'm old fashioned...
Steyer not Stayed...I hate auto Correct or it should be AutoIncorrect...
Did this schiff for brains ever go to school?
After posting, I realized several others already said it. Redundacy apologies!
My people were enslaved by the Babylonians 3000 years ago, and I still ain’t got my check.
By the time we got here, slavery done been over for 50 years.
So am I sposed to pay or get paid?
Wait, I got it.
I’ll just take a dollar out one pocket, put it in th’other.
Ah.
I feel so much better now.
