Since the Indians were “here first,” shouldn’t we start with them first? Then there were the Spaniards...

Question. Are the blacks living today whose ancestors fought in the Union Army going to have to pay reparations too?

Sure, right after we provide reparations for all the WHITE Civil War families that were left without a head of household.

Democratic National Committee Chief of Staff Leah Daughtry may not have been entirely honest with Washington DC.

The New York-born Pentecostal minister turned politico allegedly exploited DC’s property tax exemptions.

Countless citizens use the Homestead Deduction to cut their tax rates nearly in half. The district’s law states, however, that to take advantage of the deduction, you must vote in DC. Some say Daughtry didn’t get the memo, because she’s been registered to vote in New York City since February 21, 1996. The original deduction law said nothing about voting in DC, but lawmakers changed the rule back in 2002.

Someone should ask him about reparations at a town hall meeting. If you have to submit a question before hand, change it up at the microphone...

Seems like the leftist Dems have been extorting tax $$ for decades already and providing reparations in the form of social programs like welfare, affirmative action and a whole host of other ineffective giveaways. Now they want to take more from us all?

How about the northern states paying 'reparations' to the southern states for the damaged caused by the civil war or vise-versa. Ridiculous!

And Michelle is the opening speaker - can she resist, in 20 minutes, bringing up reparations?

These people are so steeped in their Marxist thinking that they don’t realize that even a lot of regular-folk democrats aren’t.

Betcha they’ll sing the National Anthem again - The BLACK National Anthem...sure hope so.

I would think the descendants of blacks who fought in the Confederate Army would have to pay since they are “Uncle Tom traitors”.

the “Faith in Action” team (3 evangelicals, a Catholic, a Muslim and a Jew— which is trying to inject religion into the Democratic Convention, decided to have a prayer service to start the convention: “the service would be held in a theater, in neutral, secular space, so as not to offend anyone; the question was how to make the televised event look sacred.”

It is an attempt to make the Party look religious, without offending anyone who thinks politics should not be religious.

One theory is that they come from hell. Another says they spawn from Marxist-academia. But I repeat myself.

This reparations crap is the most enabling rascist whoremongering tact yet. This is socialist redistributionist theory that must never happen.

Free Georgia!!!!!!!!!!!

An estimated 70% of Americans are bi-racial or multi-racial, and most don’t know it until they start checking out geneologies.

There were many reasons why people went west in the past two centuries. Changing your race on census records was just one.

Blacks in the US are so much better off today than their peers in Africa, I really think they should pay a "glad" tax--should be so glad they are here with food, shelter, medical care, to say nothing of TVs, phones, cars, ipods, etc., instead of there.

So I will go with reparations right after the Indians are paid and the blacks pay their glad tax. If any are still resentful of not being in Africa, they could forgo the glad tax and use the funds for a one way plane ticket to whichever country they prefer.

Of course, the Indians have their reparations to some extent by being settled on lands over vast oil reserves and getting revenge on the white man by skimming them in the Indian casinos.
