Where Does The Reparations Scam Stop?
Townhall.com ^ | April 18, 2022 | Scott Morefield

When attempting to predict the next wave of leftist insanity, it’s always smart to look to California, the land where Babylon Bee-style parody five years ago is inevitably tragic reality now, and the absurdist parody being written today is likely just a few months down the pike, if not already there. So naturally, in 2020 the land of fruits and nuts became the first state to establish a real-live “task force” to study the issue of slavery reparations. That task force made news earlier this month by voting to limit any compensation plan to, according to The Guardian, “descendants of enslaved and free Black people who were in the US in the 19th century.”

Lest you think the craziest of crazy ideas purported by the most crazy people on the planet somehow got a tiny bit less crazy (I know - that’s a LOT of “crazys,” but look who we’re dealing with here!), the reason cited has nothing to do with sanity. It’s because leaving out, say, people who immigrated from Africa in the 20th and 21st centuries and never had anything to do with slavery supposedly “had the best chance of surviving a legal challenge” in a “conservative Supreme Court.

Take a moment to let that sink in. If these nutcases could recreate some sort of permanent, race-based compensation system that leaves out all white people entirely, they most certainly would. But they’re dialing it back a notch because of that inconvenient Constitution and, presumably, laws passed in the 60s expressly to PREVENT the kind of chicanery they’re trying now.

Basically, white liberals view themselves as the rightful aristocracy of America, with other white people a tier below them and everybody else below them.

They want to keep punishing non-liberal whites until the non-liberal whites start to tribalize. Then, when we do, they will suddenly pivot and promise that they will protect whites from the continual unishment of society of we just agree to give them power to represent us.

That’s what they did to blacks and that is what they are trying to do us. Either we throw them out of office completely, agree to give them this power or we allow ourselves to be destroyed or there is a civil war.

Apply it globally and African-Americans will be among those shelling out.

Have you ever even met a white liberal?

(That’s not how they think at all.)

Wrong! How about “Where does the Reparations Sxam start?”

Answer: Right after they pay back the 50 trillion in welfare already expended and also pay back the 50 trillion of damages to crime victims.

You have to understand liberals. You have to know their history in order to know what they are up to.

Do you know why blacks are such faithful Democrats? They are such faithful Democrats because liberals kept breaking them down gradually. When they were sufficiently broken, liberals pivoted and promised blacks free stuff and economic repair in exchange for their support. Blacks gave iberals their support and liberals gave them the Great Welfare Act under LBJ. Since then, blacks have been given them almost 100% support.

What they did to blacks, they are doing to us. When whites are finally broken, liberals will pivot and make the same promises they made to blacks. If whites end up supporting liberals, the way that blacks support them, liberals will win every election from now on.

That’s liberals want whites to be drained financially, so we become broken and they can pivot.

We aren’t there yet, that’s why they are upping the pressure more.

When they finally break us, this quote will apply to us as LBJ applied it to blacks. They will promise us the world to support while, in reality, giving us nothing at all.

These N*grows, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957]

There’s something to that, but it is your idea of white liberals’ preferred hierarchy that I think is so off base.

Didn’t think black was carried that far in that error.

It will never stop because blacks can’t compete intellectually, so they’ll just whine forever.

The Democratic Party continues to ignore latinos by the constant worship of 12 percent of the population. Please proceed.

I will explain to you when I get off work. It will blow your mind.

Don’t get angry at me, because I’m just the messenger. 🙂

If you want some perspective on this, reparations and racism will be vibrant issues in the 2122 election cycle.

I see this not stopping until the USSC says it is racist and cannot happen.

All civilizations fail when the people learn to vote money for themselves from the treasury. We are there.

Like everything the left does, this will come full circle because it's origins are disingenuous. I predict about the time that Thomas Jefferson's descendants line up for the handout will be the tipping point.

And I say that Blacks owe me reparations because my family fought for their freedom in the Civil War.

I’d say black owe reparations for all their crimes and welfare.
