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 Ellison’s 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.

I LOVE the idea of this guy as one of the public faces to be put in charge of recruiting Middle America to the Demrat Party.

A unbelieveably radicalized black Muslim who wants the party to back all the Left’s most radical ideas. Is this really the way their party wants to DIE OFF?

For those of you who remember the non-pc Brer Rabbit stories, “Please don’t throw me in that briar patch.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As a result of slavery, you have been using our civilization without a license.

Slavery aside, that notion has legs.

620000 deaths on civil war battlefields to end slavery is enough reparation. Any debt has been paid in blood, and in full.

Yeah. I reposted a few posts down with formatting. The link killed the paragraph breaks. Sorry about that. ;-)

Reparations. The issue which will enable the Democrats to retake the White House in 2020.

this guy would be a blessing as DNC Chairman

Really. It's definitely the correct path to take for winning over white former manufacturing and other workers who've lost their middleclass livelihoods...reparations for blacks.<^..^>

I agree with this with one small condition. They repay all the welfare, food stamps, section 8 and any other “reparations” they or any ancestors (whom they are getting reparations on behalf of) have already received. Guessing on many people, balance will be just the cost of a one way ticket

"Are the Muslims and Arabs finally ready to make slavery reparations?"

Great question.

How about the Africans themselves who kidnaped and rounded up their fellow Africans from other tribes, only to sell or barter them into slavery for money, rum or guns? Do they have to pay as well?

600,000+ dead Union & Confederate soldiers (mostly white) = Reparations.

Done deal.

No, because this is Communist Redistribution, and that is always selective and prejudiced.

LOL! When I mentioned re-imbursement, all of those things were included in with travel expenses. Food, lodging, health care etc.
