Actor Danny Glover and writer Ta-Nehisi Coates are heading to Congress to testify about reparations for the ancestors of slaves.

Glover, 72, is the star of the “Lethal Weapon” film series among other movies and shows. Coates, 43, is an author and journalist who penned the “The Case for Reparations,” a 2014 essay in The Atlantic. The piece became a touchstone for the cause and helped push the matter into the national discourse.

The hearing will be held Wednesday in the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. The goal of the hearing is to “examine, through open and constructive discourse, the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, its continuing impact on the community and the path to restorative justice.”

I believe this whole charade is for two purposes: To drive blacks back onto the Dem plantation after they basically killed Hillary’s bid for the White House, and to move the goalposts so today’s absurd and blatantly illegal race-based preferences are left untouched. They hope they’ll appear reasonable by giving up on reparations, in return for preserving the status quo of free sh!t for certain preferred minorities.

It will probably work (at least the second part).

I wonder how many Americans support repatriation instead of reparations...

Reparations should be for the 300,000 white Republican makes who died freeing black people. The only nation on Earth that fought and died for black freedom. No where else, not one African nation nor any African tribe fought for that freedom. The Islamic world maintained slavery and continud to sell black slaves, no Arab risked his life to save black people that’s for sure. So if you want to pay reparations find the descendants of those white Republicans that did die so that black people could be free.
