You are correct. These are very evil people. It’s not my fault if fewer black people are successful. That’s called get off your ass and work harder. And if you don’t happen to be as smart or don’t come from an intact family, that’s also not my problem. We all had our problems in life and we don’t all ask for “reparations”.

They always want something for nothing

We’re not hiring now, but when we start hiring we’ll be hiring Blacks.” Exact quote.

My reparations was a college scholarship. 1974
Was told my scores were “the best we’ve ever seen, however, when we offered the scholarship, we thought you were black”.

Democrats are the party of slavery. Let them pay out of their own pockets.

They were all told to just stand aside and watch because they didn’t know a thing

A construction company I once worked for just told them to not show up at the job site. Simply come by the office on payday to pick up their checks. They were so worthless that they couldn’t even perform the simplest task and were more trouble to have on the job site. They just weren’t worth. Afirmative action, government forced.

I work in tourism . In a locale where 20 years ago you used to see very very few blacks . Tourists or otherwise . Throughout the Obama years I saw very few blacks , individuals or families , coming through . They really stood out , because there were so few . For all his talk about elevating “ his people” , semi-black Obama didn’t seem to be doing too much for them recreation-wise. Now however , since the election of Donald Trump visible black traveler tourism has gone through the roof . Personal direct , constant observation here . Individuals , lots of entire families , all with plenty of luggage. The black women tourists often sport fancy , costly beauty shop hairdo’s , lots of bling jewelry , and are quite often (very) overweight . It is very clear to me that they are living a fairly well-off lifestyle ,wherever they are coming from , wherever they live . These are the folks that we are told deserve ‘reparations’ , for wrong done to remote , possible , ancestors . Yea? For what ? More travel ? More expensive hairdo’s ? More bling ? More food ? I would say that black folks should be real happy that their lot in this world is so good NOWADAYS . And for those speaking to Congressional committees : stop ur whinin , it’s over , get over it .

How about reparations of 40 acres in Africa as that’s where the whites were introduced to the Muslim & African slavers, who being sales people, convinced the whites to purchase their fellow Africans.

The 2020 campaign slogans write themselves:

Attention machismo Hispanic men: Democrats want you to wear dresses and pay reparations to blacks.

[Vision]

It is 2019 people. Get a grip.

[bgill]

I’ll gladly pay for any slaves I’ve owned.

[frank ballenger]

I believe that every descendant of slavery should be allowed to receive 40 acres from the Confederacy.

In the Congo.

And where in heck is their free mule???? Do we give them a pre-owned Yugo or a used Pinto, and a parts catalog. And $5.00 off coupon on their first Napa Auto Parts purchase.

They were all told to just stand aside and watch because they didn’t know a thing about doing graphics on a wood floor.

Would have been better to teach them to do graphics but Noooooooooo!

One night last year Michael Savage listed about twenty excellent exceptions to the “slavery” problem for who gets what. Also, who pays what and which courts should handle all the squabbles over that. I wish he would repeat the lists.

Some were: black skinned person from England or Ireland. Never part of slavery, came here last year. Slave owners descendants in Jamaica and Antigua (Kamala is one) now here and are black skinned. White people who arrived from various non-slavery countries (Italy like Frank Sinatra’s parents and singer Neil Young, Canadian citizen with permanent residency in US)====plus tens of millions more people (Croatians, Chinese , Indians of India,Vietnamese, Eskimos (Inuit) who live here now.

So Neil Young could pay reparations to Kamala whose blood relatives captured and owned black slaves. Rotten.

First, the South was financially devastated in the wake of the Civil War. The vast majority of that slave generated wealth evaporated.

Folks that believe in reparations believe the South was as rich after the Civil War as it was before. Wrong. First the war devastated the South. Cities burned, crops destroyed and what factories were destroyed or looted. White manpower was lost for generations as their men died and left unburied far from home(many became food for hogs)

Second their wealth literally walked off their plantation with Emancipation. Third, as carpetbaggers and scalawags infested southern government, local taxes were raised and large farms and small were broken up to pay the taxes.

The South as an economic power was literally in Third World conditions until the First World War and didn't truly recovery until the Fifties.

I know this because it is the history of my family.

No, this was a specialty thing that takes a few years to learn. I knew the workers and most of them probably weren’t capable of doing it. A couple were talented artists.

Blacks had just about turned the corner in the 50s and then LBJ came along and put them back on the dem plantation...if it weren’t for all the “free gifts” and other crap (read “reparations on the installment plan”), this discussion would not be happening - whenever it rises back up, you can bet the dems see signs that Blacks are trending towards self-responsibility again and they need to be demoralized with propaganda to keep them down...

If they are African Americans, how ‘bout a free tix “home” then?
