Wealth Implications of Slavery and Racial Discrimination for African American Descendants of the Enslaved

[Henry Cavendish]

My mind is playing tricks on me... I truly could have sworn that said “Babylon Bee” and not Washington Examiner.

[KC_Lion]

Is that all?

[heshtesh]

Seems reasonable to me...../

[amnestynone]

Wee need to do this. To pay for it we need to tax rich liberals. The media, lawyers and professionals, Silicon Valley, Hollywood etc. They need to be the ones to pay for it. I think we can think of more taxes that could be piled on them as well.

[funfan]

Did the report say how the money would be paid?

[Leaning Right]

More and more people are getting aboard this scam. Even Dr. Evil is now self-identifying as a minority.

[Fungi]

Jessie Jackson’s a piker compared to this shake down racket.

[madison10]

How many of those mayors will benefit from this extortion?

[metmom]

The US ended slavery.

It owes nobody anything.

Or the blacks can pay reparations to the decendents of the whites from the Union who died in the Civil War.

[Jeff Chandler]

Whatever happened to 40 acres and a mule?

[ConservativeMind]

It sounds like they are encouraging Civil War II.

[pilgrim]

That will be just the first down payment.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I support this but only if democrats pay it as they are the ones who owned slaves, and keep taxes paid by Republicans out of it.

[SkyDancer]

They’ll have to prove lineage first. Just because they’re black doesn’t mean anything. The money, if any, should go to those who were enslaved, not to their third or fourth generational descendants.

They can get it from the black tribe Africans who first sold them into slavery

[Rurudyne]

Reparations are basically workplace laws ... ex post facto work place laws. Ex post facto laws violate the Constitution.

Even if there were still living Americans who had owned slaves and still living former slaves they would simply not be in arrears to their former slaves.

As for those who never owned slaves and those who were never slaves, the Constitution forbids working corruptions of blood and beyond that the Word of God — the Hebrew Scriptures which Christians use too — expressly forbids as part of the moral Law (distinct from ceremonial or merely civil commandments) punishing sons for the things their fathers did.

Bigoted Lynch Mob got its reparations by burning its cities.

We're done here.

Partner, we need to get out these Far Left Leaning DemonRat Mayors out of these cities that have been shell shocked literally with Fire Bombs, Looting, Stealing, Killing, Firebombing Police cars, Firebombing Private Property, Burning Private Property to the ground.

This is being done while the police just sit there and watch this behavior.

Enough is Enough of this Bravo Sierra.

Partner, they have been doing this for the past 45 straight days and we do not hear from our MSM since they are in Cahoots with the DemonRat party.

The NY Slimes and Washington Compost do not report a thing about this belligerent behavior by BLM and Antifa.
