they should have to prove lineage back to a known slave on a real slave roll... good luck with thatWell let the ancestors of the slaves come out of their graves and testify before Congress if their want reparations...
My third great-grandfather had a few slaves in Tennessee. My second great-grandfather served in an Illinois regiment for the entire Civil War, and went with Sherman to the sea. He married the slaveowner’s daughter on the way back to Illinois. I never received a dime’s worth of benefit from the old man’s slave money but, because the Union soldier and the Confederate daughter got together, eventually I got to be born.
President Lincoln should have gone through with his idea and shipped them all to Liberia.
Too bad he thought it was too expensive.
My g-grandfather fought for the Union during the Civil War (181st Ohio Infantry),that ought to exempt me from paying any slavery reparations
Now, now... A fair and just payment for reparations would be the immediate shut down of the Dummycrat party, the party of the slave trade
Are they looking to start charging the descendants of owners of the slave ships and slave markets first?
“”to testify about reparations for the ancestors of slaves.””
And as soon as they find one or two of those ancestors, they will accompany them to the hearing with authentic paperwork as proof. Can hardly wait!
So, will Danny be getting some of Whitey’s money? Barrack and the Wookie? Who gets what and who decides? Cummings and his crooked wife? Felons? Inmates?
This is just a bullshit publicity stunt because the democrats are bleeding black voters.
Baby gets nothing...
Nobody alive today was a slave in this country. Talk of Reparations are maddening for those of us who lost ancestors in the civil war on the Union side. Even on the Confederate side there were those who were not involved in slavery and disagreed with it. Is it fair to ask all these people to have their taxes raised to supply Reparations to people who were never slaves?
Get a numerical figure for ancestors.
Subtract government handouts for the last decades.
Subtract value of all the Affirmative Action giveaways.
Guaranteed to be a negative figure.
Then shut up and never bring the subject up again.
No more’Whoa is me’ , world owes me.Ever!
“...to testify about reparations for the ancestors of slaves.”
Reparations want do any good for the ancestors of slaves, seeing they were in Africa and not slaves.
Reparations are another civil war trigger.
The house will do anything to get headlines.
they should have to prove lineage back to a known slave on a real slave roll... good luck with thatI think it is about time for the Black community to make reparations for the $billions if not $trillions squandered on decades of failedhousing and welfare
To all those white slave owners that Liberated their slaves, we award compensation.
This will be symbolically done by having every black kid pay $100 to a white kid.
How one of the greatest achievements of WHITE civilization, the end of slavery , has turned around as something bad is beyond me. Blacks in Africa still enslave blacks (Boko Haram?) and Muslims still deal in the slave and sex slave trade.
We got rid of that horrible human scourge, and should be recognized, and THANKED!!
Now... who is going to give me my first $100?
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.
