Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota is making headlines after announcing his bid for chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Ellison already has strong support from Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Harry Reid. Some have said Ellisons own identity as an African-American and a Muslim would be a strong statement for the Democratic Party under the upcoming Donald Trump administration.
He previously advocated for, and is reportedly a passionate supporter of H.R. 40: Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, co-sponsored by Michigan Rep. John Coyners Jr.

To the middle east and africa would be grand!
I’m fine with reparations as long as anyone accepting them also loses citizenship for themselves and their family, and is expelled from our country,repatriated to their “homeland” and with the understanding if they ever come back here they will be immediately arrested and imprisoned if they set foot on US soil. That is the price they pay for accepting reparations.
That might sort out who is a loyal citizen from those who just wants to continue tearing our country down based on guilt over things that happened 150 years ago. Those that aren’t interested in taking the payoff would be those that want to be good contributing members and loyal citizens of the US.
DNC Chair Favorite Keith Ellison Supports Bill To Study Reparation Proposals
Reparations? I agree. I think that since the Democrat Party has created the plantations they keep their voter slaves in they ought to come up with those reparations out of party funds and Democrat voters. They could pay themselves.
Nice timing there Keith E. Hakim. Great idea Keith X Ellison. Interesting concept Keith Ellison Muhammad.
Unfortunately he’s entrenched and we’re stuck with all three of him.
Offer them all reparations but then take back their cost to the welfare system and the criminal justice system.
I want them to become known as the party of Allah (Satan), I do hope they pick Ellison as DNC chair.
Ellison needs to put in Sharia law as one of the planks of the DNC.
I like the idea of an avowed Muslim leading a party of feminists, leftist “Jews” and LGBTQ constituents.
My proposal on reparations: No. Not open to discussion.
My alternate position on reparations: Of course. I will personally buy 40 acres and a mule for any person legally enslaved by myself, my parents, my grandparents, my great-grandparents, or my great-great-grandparents. Not only that, I but I will provide the same reparations for their children and grandchildren. I’m such a sincere believer in this that I already did my part.
It’s time to move on and stop blaming today’s problems on bad things that the democrats did 150 years ago.
Dave Chappelle pretty much nailed it, as to how things would go if blacks ever got Reparations....

The full Chappelle skit here starts at around the four-minute mark....

Would Oprah get some of this reparation money? How about Michael Jordan?
Would Cambodians who arrived in this country in the 1970s have to pay out this reparation money?
This annoying guy with an IQ of 85 doesn’t realize how stupid his idea is. It’s just endless hair-slitting with no hope of fruition.
Are the Muslims and Arabs finally ready to make slavery reparations?
Anyone who thinks we should be paying reparations is free to do so with their own money.
Govt: “Rep. Ellison, we are pleased to inform you that the Repatriation Proposal has passed Congress.”
Ellison: “You mean Reparations!”
Govt: “Well, we had to change the wording a bit, but it passed by a huge margin. You can book your free ticket at OneWayOut.gov any time in the next 30 days.”
Sure, we can pay reparations. Just provide proof that you were alive and under indentured servitude or an owned slave before the 13th and 14th amendments were ratified.
As a bonus, anyone who could actually provide those bona fides
would also be the oldest living humans known.
Otherwise, all of this reparations talk is shakedown bullshit.
They’re doubling down on the idiocy, good. But the idiots keep doubling.
Well, we WON this cycle.
aaaaCCkkk. I need my safe space. Safety pins. Trophies.
(just practicing)
Excellent point!
I wonder what percentage of white democrats really think this is a good idea. Sure, white college professors no doubt do, as well as any of the liberal elites. But the white union workers and the unemployed or underemployed white citizens who will not be in on the grievance lottery by virtue of their lack of skin pigmentation? I can not fathom they would support reparations. But since they won’t see it as coming out of their pocket, maybe they would support it after all.
Dude...
