They are using this bill to say “the Republican party doesn’t care about slavery”.
It is all despicable propaganda
slavery and Fartacus go hand in hand..
Such a bill will not change those whom are racist to non racist, not one of them, by any definition. Especially a leftist or liberal definition.
This man is a fraud. Nobody alive today had anything to do with slavery. Booker pandering for votes.
Spartacus wants whitey’s money.
So which Rs will vote for it?
What an ass this jerk is. If the GOP can’t figure out how to hang THIS abomination around the Rats’ necks they probably deserve to go the way of the DoDo bird.
1/1064 black. How much does she get.
They already got their 40 acres & a mule, not to mention preferential hiring treatment.
Time to let it go.
“I hope and expect this to fail miserably”.
I agree.
Let’s hope that their nominee campaigns on reparations.
“Pay up all you white people”.
in 2008 I was convinced that people wouldn’t be stupid enough to vote for a nobody like 0bama. In 2012, I was convinced that people wouldn’t be stupid enough to vote for a failure like 0bama a 2nd time. Now, even with Trump in the White House, I’m not so sure that we won’t end up with someone like a Booker, Harris, O’Rourk or Warren the next time around. If we do, we will have ringside seats to our country being washed down the tubes forever.
What’s the name of the bill? The “Please Don’t Walk Away” Bill?
My family arrived her around 1900 from $h!tholes in Europe. I owe nobody whos forebears arrived via slave ships a friggin thing.
I’m sure it will. However, someone in Congress that has the nuts needs to tack on a few lines to the bill. Something to the effect that with reparations there will be no more Equal Opportunity Employer, no more getting accepted to colleges based on minority status, no more all minority clubs or events (needs to be open to all), no more kneeling during the national anthem. BLM needs to be declared a terrorist group (as well as the black panthers) and no more slurs verbally or otherwise against those who descended from Europeans. So go for it!
Offer to pay them out of the Presidential election fund.
Wait-—I thought anything during the Clinton era was so long ago it was irrelevant? So,,,,,what gives?
Forty acres and a mule in 1885 translates into educational opportunity and job/entrepreneurial opportunity today.The history of Welfare" proves that anything else is less.
And educational opportunity cannot be guaranteed if the envious have a veto over anyones access to a safe and orderly classroom.
Outrageous! I’m sure it sounds racist, but the people who are most interested in collecting, have been collecting for several generations, now. I believe we’re paid up.
I really HOPE they run on a platform for reparations! Anyone want to guess what the Hispanic population of the US was in 1865? Around 250,000. By 1960, it was nearly 6 million. In 2020, it is expected to be nearly 65 million.
How many Hispanics will want to pay money to blacks?
Oh...and my family was here before the Civil War. None of us ever owned slaves. My great grandfather fought for the North, helping to free the slaves. I’m waiting to hear someone say “Thank you!”
