Lyndon Johnson started that up.
Actually, Brazille needs to learn her black history
President Monroe even created a whole country up for reparations and repatriation in 1825(?) called LIBERIA complete with an annual budget.
They are still dependant to this day.
Hey Donna, if you can hold me responsible for slave holders from 150+ years ago, then I can hold you responsible for all the black muggers I’ve encountered.
I just paid off my 30 year mortgage at 16 years, thanks to President Trump’s new tax cuts.
I grew up, poor as poor could possibly be in RURAL MISSISSIPPI.
Nobody ever gave me a damn thing.....................
Out of the myriad Blacks that I know, there have only been a few who were Brazile type activists. Seems like Brazile and other Black ‘leaders’, along with a minority of our Black population, want not equality, but Black Supremacy. My question is: What will be enough? 50 years of advantage wasn’t, what will?
Hey Donna, Shut up and participate. Blacks have been given too much already. Nothing is ever enough. Nothing. Why bother? You want to be equal? How about we just ignore you like everybody else? Why should there be any further special treatment of blacks when it doesn’t help, isn’t appreciated, and only divides us further. Stand up for yourself and stop with the constant hand out. Stop listening to people who tell you you can’t make it because whitey is keeping you down. Nobody is keeping you down but democrats and your black “leaders”. I’m fed up with it. You weren’t a slave, I never owned a slave. I owe you nothing. White Christian men are the only people to put an end to slavery. We aren’t your enemy, you are.
Yes April Ryan is walking and quacking like a duck, and yes, she is a RACIST.
They must be losing black votes because of their focus on illegals. Got to get the slaves back on the plantations.
My parents were po' folks from Alabama. Neither of them had more than about a Junior High education. My mother literally had to quit school and pick cotton. All during my childhood, our family (my parents and my 2 sisters and me) frequently had to move because we would get evicted from one house or another. We almost never had hot water or heat because my parents could not afford to pay the gas bill. We eventually fled to Texas to escape garnishment of my dad's wages.
Eventually, everything evened out, and my dad got a job at which he worked for decades. The only "privilege" we ever had was that we all had a work ethic, and it was considered shameful to take money from the government. I became the first emember of my family to attend college.
Necklacing, white genocide and land seizures?
Paying reparations to an ACTUAL VICTIM of injustice is the right thing to do.
All of the ACTUAL VICTIMS of slavery are dead.
As are all of the men who owe them an apology.
When Ronald Reagan apologized to Japanese Americans for their WW II internment a lot of them were still alive, and it was something the U.S. Government had actually done to them.
The U.S. Government did not hold any slaves, and, in fact, eventually went to war to free them.
So many holes in her logic.

Mine was more of a case of genteel white collar semi-poverty in the Chicago area. Congratulations to you. Each of us did basically the same thing by hard work and saving that allowed us to rise above where we started. Given all the AA over the last 50 years, it’s astounding how little progress so many blacks have made. When Steve Hilton started talking about “white privilege” and reparations last night I saw how totally ignorant he was about how most of us got where we are and just wanted to barf.
“244 years of slavery”
This country’s independence was recognized by Britain in 1783; the Emancipation Proclamation was in 1863.
The US had legal slavery for 80 years; gibsmedats repeat “400 years” and it is a complete lie. At this point, blacks have been free for much longer than they were slaves (nearly twice as long).
You’re right - but those Hispanics don’t want to fund this charade.
Discrimination happens even to whites.
I lost out on a law enforcement position because the hiring authority knew my spouse worked for a social service agency and made assumptions about me.
I lost out on a position because the person they hired was Hispanic and I was told specifically that it was why I was not selected.
I also had my DNA tested. I am 2% Congolese.
Where are my reparations?
At least $8 trillion has already been paid.
Not such a Great Society for all that money........
calculate the value of 40acres and a mule in today's dollars and then for every slave ON THE BOOKS the day slavery was ended, split it among their kin... AFTER proving they are actually blood kin to said slave then no more welfare, nothing, the end.
These race-mongers are getting VERY tiresome. All I can say to her is KMA! Anyway...the War On Poverty “redistributed” a couple trillion to these parasitic whiners.
That’s good, will have to remember that.
She does understand that not all slave owners were white - many were tribal types and others were black - in fact, the first slave owner in the US was black.
