Conyers is a stupid lackey. I don't owe anyone anything.
I didn' have no stinking slave.
Will he also push for reparations for the Irish and Chinese?
I'd say it's a wash.

Since approximately 1 white person died for each black person emancipated, who oews whom reparations?
I got your 40 acres right here.
Welcome to Mt. St. Helens.
Detroit: AP: Representative John Conyers, Communist from Michigan, today spent his entire reparations check on a ten year supply of Kools, Colt .45, and Snoop Dog CDs. In a prepared statement he laughed at the stupidity of the white man as he unscrewed his first bottle and lit his first fag!
After billions and billions in welfare and and decades of every kind of set-aside, affirmative action, special treatment, etc., a lot of people would sure like to see all this solved. Somehow though, your idea of a final solution just does not appeal to me.
Using John Conyer's logic, I submit the black race owes ME reparations because a group of black hoods stole my son's brand new Acura from outside his job in North Jersey.
So if all you brothers will just take up a collection and hand over $35,000, we can call it even. OK?
I want someone to do a comparitive study of a Black people in the USA who can trace roots to somewhere in Africa VS the natives in those areas.
If the folks in the USA have a lower standard of living, then perhaps they've got an argument.
We've had a period of relative calm over the past few years when we haven't been subjected daily to this inane demand.
I agree completely!! Every surviving slave owner should pay every surviving slave $1 billion. Now don't we all feel better?
heck yeah, I am all for it, just bring me a former slave and I will pay them out of my own pocket.
Being able to live in the U.S., as opposed to Africa, is reparation enough.
Every living slave should be allowed to immediately file a lawsuit to claim millions in damages from his/her owner. Every living slave owner should be tried for his/her crimes, pay punitive and actual damages, then spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Absolutely! Hear hear! All you slaves and slave owners, please raise your hands!
2)I have lived in Southern states, Northern states and Africa.
3)No one alive was ever a slave in the US.
4)He should thank the Lord that his ancestors were brought here by whatever means.
Will Conyers mention the fact that free blacks also owned black slaves, and that the blacks who ran Africa were the ones selling the slaves in the first place?
State & Federal spending on liberal welfare is $1.7 billion per DAY! They are already getting their reparation from the U.S. taxpayers!
Don't Americans of ALL races pay taxes? If this money is going to be paid out to blacks, by the feds, through our tax dollars, are they going to "segregate" our money so just the whites are paying the blacks and the blacks aren't paying themselves back? And since it was the Republicans under President Lincoln who waged a Civil War to abolish slavery, do only the white Democrats have to pay the blacks this money because they wanted to keep slavery?
A novel called "The Known World" won the Pulitzer in 2004. It was by Edward Jones. It was about blacks who owned black slaves and all that entailed. How do we deal with blacks whose relatives way back when were slave owners themselves?
This bill is absolutely insulting and offensive to everyone in this Nation. And while I'm sure it was designed to be that way, few will realize it because if you're not for it you're a big, fat racist! How people can buy into this stupidity is beyond me.
