Democratic presidential contenders, Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., are backing reparations for black Americans affected by slavery and Jim Crow laws...

IMO This will be happening more and more. The dem candidates are going to do everything they can to out extreme each other to persuade their wacko base to give them the nomination.
The winner of the primary will probably be whoever can be the nuttiest far leftist.
I think this is a good way to do reparations—
Every white person who owned slaves should pay every black person who was a slave.
Leave everybody else out of it.
AKA - These candidates for POTUS 2020 are attempting to directly buy the votes of Black Americans, calling it “reparations”.
I tell you what - as soon as these corrupt folks can show me the Black Americans who were slaves here in the US, under me or my family - we can at least have a discussion on the matter. But even then - it’s going to be rather difficult to make a reasonable case for any sort of reparations.
After reparations for Black Americans, it’ll be reparations for Native Americans.
Then (if there’s still an America left) it’ll be reparations for descendants of Mexicans displaced by the Mexican-American war. That will include descendants in any country, anywhere around the world.
Next it’ll be victims of American-caused global warming.
How about a free one-way ticket to Liberia for anyone who wants one if America is so horrible.
This is nothing more than a backup plan. The Democrats see illegal aliens as the future, who will eventually overtake blacks in voting importance. Unfortunately for them, Trump is stopping, or at least he’s triaging the illegal alien issue so Dems still need the black vote in 2020. They can’t rely on illegals fully yet.
reparations are fair. just deduct the amount due the slaves from the amount due the United States from their descendants who would otherwise have lived/ be living in craphole africa.
I await my check.
What, are we supposed to send them back to Africa?

Chappelle Show. The news report the day reparations checks go out. lol
That disqualifies Warren and Harris. They do not recognize reality. There is no legal justification to ask American taxpayers, many of them from families that came to the United States after slavery ended, to pay for the wrongs of slavery. Federal and state governments have already spent billions of dollars on social programs such as welfare, subsidized housing, health care, employment development, affirmative action, and education. These programs primarily benefit blacks. Reparation would take away from existing programs, such as Social Security and Medicare, which blacks in their older years depend on. I could go on, but common sense tells me these hags are just grandstanding and have no desire to talk about any factual arguments.
“AKA - These candidates for POTUS 2020 are attempting to directly buy the votes of Black Americans, calling it “reparations”.”
Yep.
Yep - just track down those living slave owners and their living slaves...
Based on the Democrat standard - not recognizing reality, not knowing (or not caring about) the Constitution, rejecting the rule of law, sexual deviancy, rabid demonstrations of racism and hate, and abject rebellion against God - are all considered to be QUALIFYING character traits to run for office as a Democrat.
Isn’t funny the Democrats are always trying to buy the black people? Back in the day, it was at auctions. Today it’s at elections. They are still buying though.
Ironically..
They’re losing Blacks to Conservatism, and this is their way of dealing with it.
I think Blacks are smarter than this, and many Blacks are going to be angered by it.
This is just pure political manipulation.
But they support human trafficking, which is modern-day slavery.
Do Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King get reparations?
How much?
