Yeah, it was obvious this crap was coming.

What a pantload.

I’m so tired of the party of no forgiveness.

Guess what? I don’t give two shinolas about the results of their survey. I was born in 1970.

there are no more slaves from that time alive any more. the government perpetuates this mess constantly. non of us have owned slaves, and we need to move forward.

i do understand that with the element of illegal alien and human traficking, slavery is yet again showing its angered head.

but most of Americans have never owned slaves.

The cure is called, getting off your butt and working.

....the legislation’s intent is to fix “multi-generational trauma” in African-Americans.

I'm no doctor, but I'm quite sure that such trauma can be quickly cured by prescribing $$$$$$$$$$$$.

How are they going to do this unless they make slaves, which is illegal?

This must be so they can figure out how much America owes? I’m not denying that slavery was abhorant and terrible. I do question how I who was born in 1960 somehow owe for things that ended 95 years before my birth?

Also I’d like to add that I also was born in a free state so no one ever owned slaves here.

Not only is there no forgivness, but they’re offended for things that you and I had nothing to do with!

>Guess what? I don’t give two shinolas about the results of their survey. I was born in 1970.

I was born in `82, do you think that matters to people who will blame you for something you didn’t do?

Must be tragic going through ones life viewing everything through the prism of skin color.

Bullpuckey.

Name me another country that has rocketed black folks to positions of influence and power like the USA has.

Ahhh...but I’m a WOMAN.

Technically, I can get in their face about all the worldly injustices done to women, right? Especially under Islam.

I claim that I have been damaged by what Islamic nations have done to women. Pay me.

This is being created for them to know how to treat us when we are all slaves.

Slavery never ended. Slavery is not owned by any one culture.

He mentions teenage pregnancy as one of the problems resulting from the legacy of slavery. But the out of wedlock birthrate for black girls, and all girls, is much higher now than 40 years ago. Looking at this time line, the big growth of out of wedlock births happened after the civil rights movement, after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, after the whole “Jim Crow” era of legal segregation was done away with.

Let's cut to the chase, here.

I'll assume that $2 trillion more is added to national debt in form of reparations. Only true blacks get a buncha money and only whitey is on the tab to pay for it.

Fast forward ten years. In 2019, American blacks are still completely dysfunctional as a culture. The only thing that is changed is that white taxpayers are far poorer as a result of a bunch of liberal guilt.

How does this apply? Did I say “make me a sandwich!”? ;)

>Technically, I can get in their face about all the worldly injustices done to women, right? Especially under Islam.

You could, but I think it’d be more telling to get on to them over abortion... I mean you can’t get lower than killing someone for something they had no control or part in.

>I claim that I have been damaged by what Islamic nations have done to women. Pay me.

I claim that, as a computer scientist, people with no sense of logic should be shot... but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

Welfare is now the plantation. The dems keep those who are weak of will and character on that plantation. Welfare has destroyed the black family. The dems like it that way. The dems are the slave masters. The dems voted against Civil Rights. Albert Gore Sr. voted against Civil Rights. Al Gore Jr. as a child, had a black woman as his family’s servant. Rush discussed this years ago,must have been when Gore was running for president. When Al Gore Jr. was a kid he wondered why his daddy and mommy didn’t take their servant lady into restaurants when they went out to eat, why did she have to stay in the car? Well because daddy was a racist, Al jr, that’s why. Evidently that nice hard working black woman was treated like a second class citizen by Albert Gore Sr. Democrat-Tennessee. Why don’t these dems just stop stirring the pot of racism? Oh yeah, that’s one of their “things”. Because “what’s bad for America is good for the democrats.”
