I’ll chip in for a roll of duct tape for the congressclown’s mouth.

Having traveled in Africa I can guarantee that there are enough people there who would *gladly* trade places with American blacks.And,having done so,they’d work hard...obey the rules...stay out of prison and off of drugs...and would be clear assets to this country.

Lee ... LEE?

Shouldn’t that name be BANNED?

One of the best rebuttals to the notion of reparations I have ever read:

"Paid in Full"

[BruceS]

I will personally apologize and pay reparations to each of the persons whom I held as slaves.

[real saxophonist]

My ancestors weren't wealthy enough to own slaves. They weren't necessarily poor, but slaves were expensive.

My granddad had a pecan orchard on the Flint River in Georgia. He had black employees, not slaves. Their benefits included pecans and all the squirrels they could take. The operation was all a big family.

So there.

She loves that word de-facto. She uses it in every opportunity when she opens her pie hole.

As long as they STFU and leave never to come back.

My family were serfs and had to sneak out of their country to get here in the 1830s. They lived in Iowa. Most people do not know that over 70% of the men between 14 and 40 died in the civil war. Iowa had no slaves, my ancestors in Europe also had no slaves. Four of my great,great grandfathers brother died and he lost an arm.
What did they get, a chance for their descendants to become second class spit on citizens.

Count me in if it’s a 1-way ticket to the African nation of choice.

If you really want to be fair, you need to know more about slavery in the Colonies that became the United States.

Maybe we should start with the very FIRST SLAVE OWNER IN THE UNITED STATES.
It's NOT about RACE !
It's about IDEOLOGY !

WHO was Anthony Johnson of the 1600s ?

America’s first slave owner was a black man.

WHO was John Casor ( Caster ) 1655 ?

WHY doesn't the media tell you about WHITE SLAVES owned by Blacks in the the United States ?

Why isn't White Slavery, Maternal Descent, And The Politics Of Slavery In The Antebellum United States, written by Lawrence Tenzer and A.D. Powell, REQUIRED READING in High School ?

Watch these videos:

How much more do you need to prove to yourself that (?) :
DEMOCRATS ARE LIARS !
and DEMOCRATS ARE ENSLAVING YOU !

So ....

Maybe it's time for the descendants of Negro who were slave during the Civil War
to pay reparations to the descendants of those who fought for their freedom
during the civil war.

After all you just want to be fair ... don't you ?

[franksolich]

Uh, question.

Haven’t we been paying reparations since the mid-1960s, with Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, the longest war in American history, that endless quagmire with no light at the end of the tunnel?

[King Moonracer]

Further enslave white taxpayers in the name of slavery reparations. How cheap, mean, miserly, parsimonious, close-fisted, penny-pinching, cheeseparing, grasping....

[maine-iac7]

Get the first ‘allotment’ fro the African Chieftains to brought them to the shores of Africa and sold them to the slavers - ..Then give them a ticket to the African bush and have some time there - and ask themselves:” Would I like to be living here or am I thankful my ancestors were brought to America?

[Taxman]

Slavery ended in 1865, Sheila!

“Your people” have had 154 years of FReedom!

Get over it!

[vette6387]

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.

[CaliforniaCraftBeer]

[VietVet]

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.

[aquila48]

Maybe Sheila should do something about this first...
