Hispanics get to pay double—once for transporting the slaves across the ocean, again for keeping them in the New World!
Slavery ended 165 years ago.
There’s nothing left to reperate.
Serious question. How much do I get? I’m a light skinned biracial American. For obvious reasons, this is not going to work, every American is going to claim to be related to an enslaved ancestor.

It will never end if it gets passed
They know it will never end
This is idiotic
Shal we then demand repararions from the african and middle eastern nations that raided europe coastal towns and murdered whites and took others as slaves?
Money laundering for Democrat politicians.

Reparations for Slavery??? Really???
I get it, they are soft pedaling it by saying they want to set up a commission to study the issue.
But does anyone here think, that some blue ribbon commission would study the issue, and conclude that we should NOT pay slave reparations????
The only good thing to come from this, is it may help wake up “Middle America”, and lead to kicking these liberal idiots out of power in Congress in the 2022 mid term elections.
They pass this shit, it’s on.
If black people do get reparations, is that going to settle it? No more being angry about the terrible things done to your ancestors? Somehow, I doubt it.
I’ve noticed they’ve moved away from slavery and started talking about the impact of “red-lining” on black wealth.
Any and every House rep that votes for this is a racist ... and we’d better scream that a hundred times a day every day while they’re deliberating
$4trillion sound like enough?
Hi.
“descendants of black slaves.”
How in the world would that be determined?
Okay let’s play...
What if I’m caucasian and my wife is African American?
Do WE get the money? I could go on with other scenarios but won’t.
These people are not nuts or incompetent, they are evil.

It is labeled HR 40, in honor of the plan by General Sherman to give freed slaves “40 acres and a mule”.
Reparations were paid in full during last year’s summer of free stuff

You will get $100,000 if you are all black. Since you are only half black, its $50,000. However if you also happen to be half white, you have to pay $50,000 for oppressing the other half of you.
Eventually what will happen is Congress/Biden will approve a reparation bill worth trillions. More monopoly money will be printed and distributed and then all hell will break loose.
I wonder if the reparations will be paid by the government (including tax dollars from the black descendants of slaves), or will there be some special assessment against the descendants of slave owners, or just all “whites.” Do the descendants of slave-holding Cherokee pay? Or the descendants of foreign slave owners?
For that matter, does Barack Obama, the biracial descendant of slave owners but no slaves, get reparations or pay them?
Do you have to show slave ancestry, or is the test the color of one’s skin? Maybe they can adopt the old Jim Crow “drop of blood” standard.
I can’t wait for the details to come out.
Use the money to ship them back to Africa. I’m tired of their crap.
When do the families of the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who died from combat or disease get reparations from blacks?
