I’m more than willing to pay reparations to anyone currently living who was born a SLAVE.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Mr. Justice Clarence Thomas, and Mr. Larry Elder, I believe, all had sharecropper/poverty beginnings and managed to rise like the cream they are. No reparations for ignorant professional victims who think a $250 pair of Nikes is worth more than a semester at Junior College.
[2] Adjust claimant numbers by analysis of historical records to exclude any African-American either born in a state that did not allow slavery at the time of his/her birth.
[3] Deduct from bill.
[4] Establish easy repayment plan for African-Americans.
Calculate all my taxes that have gone to the “Great Society” since LBJ brought that legislation into existence (Welfare).
My family never owned ANY slaves—SO—I don't owe any money and if “fairness” is considered, as the libtards like to brag about-—THEN I am due a REFUND!!
That will never happen—BUT—a large group of folks are fed up with this crapola and are armed!!
The Dutch and others were using humans as chattel before 1619, just not in North Americia..
>You want another Civil War? Pass reparations and you’ll get it. No. F**king. Way.
Indeed; I have never owned a slave, neither has my father, nor has my grand-father, neither has my great-grandfather.
If you want to punish people for what their ancestors did in the ancient past... then maybe you’re an idiot.
“blacks owe us, on balance.”
Good point. Sure some people enslaved some blacks 150 years ago but if it wasn’t for slavery, they’d be in Mugabeland or Liberia. I bet you anything slavery in NC was better than Slavery in Sudan.
“I’d say the blacks owe us, on balance.”

There is little doubt of that.
How long must we wait for a politician who OVERTLY and CONSISTENTLY calls blacks on their longstanding, insolent racism and diseased entitlement mentality?
“[4] Establish easy repayment plan for African-Americans.”
They can’t afford it.
First they will pass HB 45, Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act, then comes HR 40 Reparations.
>>Anyone know how to tar-and-feather folks?

>Forget that. Load up on hollow points.
We’ll need steel-core AP as well...
3rd Congress in a row this bill has been introduced. 3rd Congress in a row it’s going nowhere.
Sponsored by John Coyers. Last time it had 24 cosponsors. This time it has 2...

Pass it and pay ‘em in Confederate Dollars. All singles.
“The Dutch and others were using humans as chattel before 1619, just not in North Americia..”
The Egyptians were doing it at least three thousand years ago. I’m sure some of those slaves were Nubians. Do we have to pony up for that, too?
What is your point?
I was correcting your statement so you do not appear ignorant of the facts.
I'm surprised no ambulance-chasers are pursuing blacks' payment due to the descendents of civil war soldiers who died to "free the slaves"....
Why not "reparations" from blacks to whites for all they have been given to date? Maybe when they get their reparations' "pie", the whites will be able to collect on the debt owed? (No use sueing them yet, they live on public dole now, and it's out of taxpayers' pockets, so there's no gain)
“Billions”??’’ Methinks you are off by three orders of magnitude, friend.
I'd be interested to see your thoughts on just how we are going to see an increase in state sovereignty.
