The movement to make the United States pay reparations to black descendants of slaves was given its most significant backing to date on Wednesday, as the House Judiciary Committee approved a proposal to begin studying the issue.
The Committee's vote does not mean reparations are likely any time soon: their support for a new commission to investigate does not mean legislation to create the commission will make it to the House floor.
Even if it does proceed to a vote, there is no guarantee that it would survive that vote, as the Democrats hold an extremely narrow majority.

Cotton from the 19th Century will be getting real expensive.
The “commission” was created to launder tax dollars to the race baiting community organizers and black politicians
My male Irish ancestors must have bought two shirts and one pair of cotton pants a year for 15 years.
What’s my tab going to be?
And, in 1854, Nellie bought three cotton dresses.
She was a pretty lass I’ll have you know.
Yeah that happens and either CWII or White American diaspora happens

My grandparents were all immigrants and faithful Roman Catholics who rejected racial discrimination as morally wrong, a teaching passed on to their children and grandchildren. So why should I be taxed to pay for the sins of slavery and Jim Crow?
Dear Manchester resident:
We have proof one of your ancestors worked processing cotton for three years in the 1850’s.
Your reparations bill comes to...
Joe Biden
What about all of us who had relation killed in the Civil War in an effort to free the slaves? What do we get?
They have the best before them and do the least for themselves. Time for them to step to the plate instead of destroying our cities.
In Rochester NY, one of the protesting cities, has a high school graduation rate of about 40%. Check on the demographics.
They are trying to cause an economic collapse so they can start the great reset.
Diddly squat.
My white ancestor spent five years as an indentured servant, and not allowed to return to England. Do I get a cut? Just a rhetorical question...I KNOW the answer.
Simply ludicrous but these a-holes do this as a political fetish. They know it probably won’t go anywhere but they try and stick to their agendas. What exactly does the GOP do with this much passion and energy the left has?
It will NOT be checks in the mail to individuals.
Ironically, if you go back and and research racial stereotypes from previous generations, many of the current generation of BLM types are validating and proving true even the worst of the negative stereotypes
Ghetto values and gangster thug culture have become mainstream culture in much of the black community and that culture isnspilling over into American main stream culture a whole.
The behavior of the real life dominant culture in black inner city society is really actually far worse than the worst negative sterotypes the MLK Civil Rights generation fought so hard to overcome.
Now those stereotypes are embraced and proudly played out on the streets of our Democrat controlled big cities and bragged about in facebook pics and vids
There are going to be a whole lotta low melanin people in that group of descendants... Then what? We call reparations double white supremacy- first the idea and then the reality? Just curious.
Do not underestimate the will of these people to destroy this country.
And they are doing a good job at it.
