...to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies.
Slavery ended in the United States nearly 160 years ago. Obviously, it's already been remedied, or does she want to bring back slavery again?

Funny that's what I have. Your point is valid. What do I get? And I'm light skinned.
Could have done this any time in the last 4 years. They wait until it will fail to put it out.
Tell me about it! I worked in a “black’ neighborhood in college and I heard the “N” word more in one day from young blacks that I ever heard from the lips of white people. They are obsessed with race. I don’t care what color you are. I do, however, disapprove of the urban black culture that had destroyed the urban black communities.
Hussein was president for 8 years and none of his ancestors were slaves, although it is possible that one or more was either a slave trader or a slave owner. He could have apologized but he didn’t.
so when the claimed Obamas was off the charts i see it now
The Irish are in for a windfall.

Re: Babylon Bee?
Worse. The U.S. House of Representatives.
I’m sorry she was never a slave. Her riding the backs of long-dead slaves while grifting the American taxpayer is a pathetic behavior for a James Brown fig wearing skunk.
Everyone here is wasting their time posting reasoned arguments and facts against this lunacy. They don’t care. They don’t care about the 600,000 dead in the Civil War, and they don’t care about the trillions of dollars in social spending, they don’t care about the people hurt by affirmative action.
Exactly!
My great, great grandpa and his brother died in the Civil War. They did not own a slave and most likely did not even know anyone that did.
bump
Only 400,000 of them died to set slaves free. The other 300,000 died to keep them slaves. In the case of the 400,000 Union deaths. The government paid the widows and orphans pensions after the war ended. As of two years ago one man was still collecting a civil war pension from his father’s service in the Union army.
Lie.
Fixed it.
The Union families were paid for winning. The soldiers got pensions, and the widows and orphans got pensions based on their husband’ or father service in the Union army. Some of the ex-Confederate states paid pensions to the veterans, widows and orphans of those that served in the Confederate army.
they were fighting to defend the Constitution of the Confederate States of America. A document that pretty well ensured the existence of slavery in the Confederate states for decades to come.
No, the Government did not. The Federal Government paid pensions to veterans, widows and orphans of the Union Army. They only paid a few widows of Confederate veterans after the law as changed around 1956.
Worse than that. I’mPhony and Ruppersberger co-sponsored it.
