St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones is appointing a reparations commission that will “recommend a proposal to begin repairing the harms that have been inflicted” by slavery, segregation and racism.

St. Louis joins a growing list of places trying to determine how to make amends for past practices that have harmed Black Americans. The new commission will hold open monthly meetings. There is no stated deadline for recommendations.

You have no idea how much this crap pisses me off 🤬🤬

[Secret Agent Man]

Me as well.

At best- 1-way plane ticket to mother africa. Citizenship permanently revoked once ticket is in hand. Blocked entry forever back into the country. For their safety from this horrid place.

[Dan in Wichita]

Reparations movement continues to gain momentum. Someday we taxpayers will be told we must foot the bill.

[EvilCapitalist]

We should have picked our own cotton.

[MrHead]

Commies gotta con

“Reparations movement continues to gain momentum. Someday we taxpayers will be told we must foot the bill.”

It’s already happening in many many ways. You can’t imagine how much money in backdoor ways is being handed out to those folks.

[Leaning Right]

This St. Louis thing doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that my cat, Mr. Whiskers, is now demanding reparations because I didn’t feed him premium cat food from the very beginning.

(Just trying to cheer ya up, CC27.)

[EEGator]

Getting to live in a first world country is your reparations.

Living with your kind is my payment.

People who never owned slaves will be required to pay $250,000 per person to people who were never slaves. Just wealth transfer from whites to blacks, which in unconstitutional. BUT if we call it slave reparations, its legal??

[Singermom]

Don’t worry Whites, Asians and Hispanics will find scams with PLENTY of blacks will be unable to resist. In a few years all their MONEY will be gone and they will be screaming for MORE reparations again. A few fancy trinkets and good looking clothes and all that money will be gone. They will be blaming whites for that too.

If these people knew how to handle money they would not be in this situation. But they keep believing the lies dems tell them and keep voting for them.

[posterchild]

We should have picked our own cotton.

I never even owned a cotton field.

[Lockbar]

And where are they going to find this magic money??

[Fiji Hill]

Beautiful cat!

[EvilCapitalist]

The Federal Reserve of course. And more inflation will be our gift.

[coalminersson]

IIRC the beloved governor Nuisance of Cali is wanting to give 579 billion to blacks in CAL. Cal spends 30 bill a year on illegals, and the state public pension fund is projected to shortfall 149 billion in the future. Today our esteemed president wanted to spend billions to bail out the teamsters who coincidentally supported him in the election. Remember when LBJ said the great society bill would have Negroes (he used another N-word) voting democrat forever. It's all about the bribe.

[Irenic]

Uh yes, they start taking my money through taxes when I and my family never had a slave...there will be a problem.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Repairing the harms that have been inflicted by corrupt, liberal, socialist, communist democrats.

[TexasFreeper2009]

so the democratic party will of course be paying reparations to Asians of their ongoing discrimination against them in college immissions.

[FlingWingFlyer]

St. Louis is loaded with racists. They need to double their “reparations”. Let’s go you racist slave owners. Give it up!

A Brit on YouTube whose channel is called History Debunked addressed this issue. Two families live next door to each other. One is white and one is black. Both are equal financially. One day the black family of five receives $1,250,000 in reparations while the white family receives nothing but an increased tax bill. How will this improve race relations?
