A House Judiciary subcommittee will hold hearings on reparations next Wednesday, marking the first time in more than a decade that the House will discuss potentially compensating the descendants of slaves.

They got their 40 acres and a mule.
Case closed.
Will those slave (as a result of FDR’s Yalta Agreement) still living be compensated? They have been told the statute of limitations left them with recourse in 1978. No one wants to mention them.
I said it before: If I ever owned slaves, I’d vote for it. But...
What a waste of time but if you want to get factual. How about paying compensation to the descendants of plantation and small homestead owners for their lost wealth and “emotional distress” suffered during and after the War between the States.
The homestead and plantations owners of the South. Their cash crops, wagons, livestock, etc. confiscated or destroyed. Courthouse deeds were lost or destroyed and ownership put in doubt. The best crop land seized and not returned to the rightful owners. Not enough assets left to borrow money and rebuild. Many came to Texas and started over.
Reparations to the slaves has already been paid. They were given their freedom when slavery was abolished. Even that has not been enough to satisfy their black descendants of today. They feel as they do because many are still slaves living on a (government) plantation.
To our legislators that feel reparations are owed, I wish to offer a Hail and Hardy **** YOU.
Yep....and how much is this “subcommittee” going to cost the taxpayers??
How about the slavery the demonicrats are supporting right now with their open borders sanctuary cities crap. The human trafficking and slavery is out of control!
Neither did their fathers or grandfathers or great grandfathers.
Mubutu: So my ancestors sell our black captured slaves to your ancestors and now their descendants living in your great country are complaining? Man they have already received their reparations. Even now we still have slave laborers and sex slaves in our country.
If this is more than just grievance industry working its insidious influence, why wasn’t this something that was put through when BO was occupying the office and both houses of Congress were controlled by the Democrats?
#ReparationH - Kamala Harris...
Seems legit...
Give money to people who ‘ve had all or more advantages than anyone. No nothing of slavery. What terrible govt.
I can get on board with this.
The first person legally identified as a slave owner in America was black. Kampala Harris’s family owned slaves and a plantation in Jamaica, Native Americans owned slaves. There were blacks in America who This will be a fecal mash up. Incredibly stupid.
Are they gonna pay reparations to the families of the 300,000 white Republican males who died so that black people could be free?
Give me another nation on Earth that sent their sons to fight and die so that black people could be free. No nation or tribe in Africa, no Muslim nation, no Asian nation. No European nation. Only America. The most advanced nation, the greatest nation.
And all those other nations were involved in slavery. Hell, Saudi Arabia did not outlaw slavery until 1962.
The hypocrisy gets tiring.
I wouldn't wast time asking her, she knows precious little about her history or that of America's history however, thinks my ancestors owe her money.....
