Slavery ended in 1865, Sheila!

“Your people” have had 154 years of FReedom!

Get over it!

The “leader” of The Black Congressional Brain Trust speaks! There are so many decent, smart Black People, why in the Hell do we get the likes of this trash?
And Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker? The “cream” certainly doesn’t rise to the top in the Black Community.

No one alive today ever owned slaves, and no one alive today ever was a slave (in the US), so the whole question is a non-starter.

How about reparations for the families of those who served in the Union military who fought to end slavery? I figure the nearly two years my great grandfather gave to the Union cause ought to be worth something

The “Damage” is being raised in a nation that has plenty for all.

As Alex Hailey said, slavery was a huge favor to the slave’s descendents.

All descendants of slaves should be entitled to a free airplane ticket to any country in West Africa.

Um, no! I won’t pay a white tax. Period.

My ancestors never owned a single slave. Over my dead body.
......

Nor did mine. Anyway, there should be credits for the the taxpayers for all that has been given Blacks in affirmative action programs.

Consider a Reparations Bill to cover all the damage that the Democrat-Socialists have inflicted on Us the People.

I like it. :0.
How about an announcement that anyone who wants a free check just signup for it and head on down to Fl or New Orleans. Not only will you get a check but a free 10 days all you can eat cruise on the newest modern ocean liners.

After 10 days they get off in their homeland of Africa with a check for 50 bucks. Good luck and good riddance. For all the freeloading whites and hispanics that sign up, enjoy being part of the multicultural experience in Africa.

“non-controversial manner”
It becomes controversial when
you’re talking about my tax dollars.
My ancestors had nothing to do with
slavery, yet, because I’m white, I
will be forced to pay for something,
at that time, was accepted behavior.
