Mine were technicolor. Pro-Mau Mau propaganda doesn’t sit well in the stomach for me.
since everyone involved is dead, that means that one person, because of the color of their skin, has to pay a tax to another person, because of the color of their skin.
A condition placed on any reparations should be that the recipient must return to the country of his ancestors and never come back.
They were never slaves and I never owned any slaves. I don’t owe them jack! Reparations my @$$. This is America! Stop the whining, get over it and MoveOn!
As a descendant of Irish slaves I want to know where my money is too?
What BS. The African American “community” is perpetually looking for handouts. Go to school, stay in school, fathers stay with their kids more, etc. Stop blaming whitey for your faults! 80% of violent crime is by blacks, but it’s whitey’s oppression that caused it?
Puke.
So sick of this crap!!!
“Had we known then what we know now, we would’ve picked our own cotton.”
Saw that on a bumper sticker.
I would love to see this pushed. As someone who is overtaxed and overrun this would be truly beautiful thing to see it discussed and implemented. We need more defining moments to warrant the watering of the liberty tree.
Reparations can be viewed as a stimulus package. Two weeks after receiving their checks, the money will be pissed away and back in the economy. I am in favor of paying it if they sign a paper promising to shut up about it.
Anyone who is kidnapped and enslaved has a dynamite case and should be able to walk away with a million dollar payday.
The great-great-grandson, on the other hand, needs to just get on with his life. If his life stinks he needs to fix it.
My Celtic ancestors were oppressed by the Romans. I still weep for my dead queen, Boadicea. I want reparations from the Italians, with 2,000 years interest.
Reparations have been paid several times over. Everyone involved, and everyone with parents involved, are dead. Full-blown welfare is easily available and generous. Opportunity abounds. It’s over. Nobody descending from slaves has want for anything their pre-slave ancestors had and the lineage lost. Nigh unto nobody can demonstrate even a reasonable connection between themselves, those harmed, and estates of their oppressors (those who can, come forward). It’s done.
Taking & giving based solely on skin color is grounds for civil war.
I have five: EEOC, SNAP, EBT, HUD, Pigford.
They have redefined it to include the Jim Crow era—so anyone born before 1965 can claim reparations, whether or not they lived in a state that had segregation laws.
Barack Obama is all the reparations I’ll suffer.
yes reparations please for the descendants of the Americans who had property confiscated during the first Civil War 1775-1783..
my direct ancestors had property stolen by the rebel government...in NY and PA..
I demand it back...
And more than I wanted to...
