an interesting point of American History....

I will self-identify as a Green Martian if that will get me a reparations check.
Anyone who questions my claim is a racist fascist right-wing extremist.
Grandfather used to say, “it takes a lot to make us angry, but when we do get angry, we get very angry, and we stay angry.”
RATs only pay for things out of other people’s pockets.
Be careful what you ask for.
What about the confederate states paying the northern ones?
I would be in favor as a stipulation of taking the pay off is permanent expatriation. Two generations in exile to follow at least.
Whatever the dollar amount, it will never be enough to please the race baiters.
Reparations were paid in the form of 600,000 White lives lost in the WBTS that also freed the slaves.
It is the British and Americans that ended slavery in the West.
The only “reparations” I am willing to pay are one-way tickets for resettlement in the motherland.
They have paid reparations. The “Great Society” that LBJ started has paid nearly 50 Trillion dollars as reparations, but not to “pay back” blacks, but to keep them in slavery to the Democratic Party.
I’m glad I went ahead and read the article rather than jump to a conclusion from just the headline, which I’m unfortunately quite capable of.
Yes they live in inner cities that are in ruins...But they are the ones that ruin them.
Let’s deduct the cost of cleaning up after them from any reparations.
Also the expenses Tax payers have had from supporting any families that have lived for generations on welfare.
Also the cost of incarcerating literally half the male black population.
98% at least, probably more of “Conservatives” would not know a Conservative if one bit him on the ass. This is Just another shitbird that has been smoked out. Sean Hannidity even claims to be a Conservative. They even have a club that meets once a year and break their arm patting themselves on the back and saying, “Look at what a good boy am I.” While the Country goes to shit minute by minute.
He’s not the first. Mark Levin said it before the Democrat Party should pay. The backbenchers are are stealing from his programs again.
2019: Mark Levin: ‘I Support’ Dems Paying ‘Reparations’ to Progeny of Slaves
Below is a transcript of Mark Levin’s remarks from his show on Monday:
“Now, ladies and gentlemen, I posted on my social sites that I have a proposal for reparations. Stick with me through this whole thing, or you won’t understand what I’m saying.
“I believe, if you can demonstrate that you are progeny of a slave— I don’t mean a recent immigrant who happens to be a minority. No, no, no. I’m not talking about people of that sort. I’m talking about people that, maybe you should get reparations. But who should pay them?
“So, here’s my proposal: The American people, even way back then, didn’t all own slaves. The American people, even way back when, then, weren’t all supportive of slavery. There was a civil war that was fought, fought between two groups – one group, states’ rights and slavery; another group, federalism and anti-slavery. Now, that’s simplistic, but you get the point.
“Now which group is which? Did Abraham Lincoln support slavery? No. Did the Republican Party support slavery? Never. Did the Republican Party support segregation? No. Did the Republican Party support Jim Crow laws in the South? No. Was the Klan an appendage of the Republican Party? No, it was an appendage of the Democrat Party. And every major civil rights bill after the civil war, in the 50s and 60s, was opposed by a significant percentage of elected Democrats and supported by a majority, a significant majority of elected Republicans.
“So, I support reparations. But I do not support the way in which the Kamala Harris’ of the world and the Elizabeth Warren’s in the world want to pay for it. The American people through the tax system shouldn’t pay for reparations. The Democrat Party should pay for reparations. The Democrat National Committee, all the state parties, the Democrats should pay reparations to the distance children of slaves because the Democrat Party, the Democrats – well after the founding of this nation, well after the Declaration and the Constitution, when the country was trying to make things right – it was the Democrats who fought it.
“So, the Democrat Party is the entity that supported slavery as an institutional matter. We have individuals who had slaves, but they didn’t necessarily support the institution per-se. Some did. Some didn’t. But the Democrat Party did – and supported segregation, and supported Jim Crow, at least a significant percentage of it. Not Republicans, and not all Americans.
“And I might remind Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, and all the rest, that we fought a civil war, over 700,000 casualties, to put an end to slavery. So as a theoretical matter and a practical matter, I’m really against reparations because an awful lot of people lost their lives – including a lot of white people – trying to eliminate slavery. But if we’re going to have it, then the perpetrators, the perps, they should pay for it.”

I knew Wayne would get it right!

Excerpts:
A College Education: Even more appalling was hearing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley nattering on like a fledgling social worker about white rage and grasping the niceties of Critical Race Theory.
In spite of the uniform and the eight pounds of medals, he hardly came across like a leader of men. Actually, he came across like his first name should be Milley.
In case you might be wondering what their idea of Nirvana looks like, pay a visit to the urban areas in which fatherless black kids live like pack animals in the wild.
Blacks & Whites & Reds All Over: It’s obvious that the Communists who have shanghaied the Democratic Party decided that blacks were the most ignorant and easily manipulated segment of their base. Then, with that in mind, they proceeded to coach every issue in racial terms intended to pander to blacks and cast white people, particularly white males, especially those who voted for Trump, as white supremacists, kin to Nazis and Klanners.
When Did America Go Berserk?: We whites are told we owe them because their ancestors were slaves in America, wrenched from their idyllic homelands in Africa.
Today, their descendants, who never picked cotton or felt the whip, claim they are owed money to compensate them for sufferings they never experienced.
There are those, on the other hand, who insist they are owed nothing because it is such a privilege to live in America.
I, like Henry Clay, am a proponent of compromise. I would offer every black person in the country a one-way ticket back to their ancestral home, or they can stay on the condition that they stop collecting welfare and that they never again denigrate this country, never again claim that America is a systemically racist nation.
It is a slander that exposes not only their stupidity, but their lack of gratitude.
