“Enjoying lifestyles unimaginably luxurious generations ago.”

Lifestyles a million times better than the poor throughout history and everywhere else in the world.

Don’t these people ever think “This will crash the whole country and the system that created our wealth?”

Yes, rhetorical question. It just points out the lack of critical thinking skill.

Oh man, this would be like outright theft into the pockets of whoever runs that agency.

Does one need to look at mizzie Cahtah of Baltimer?

Here, and she’s what used to be called mixed:

Another Fani Willis “attorney” with an agenda of grifting.

Friend says repeatedly— “no reparations without repatriation”. Could be included in the deportation money to remove illegals threatening black citizen’s jobs, and all other citizen’s jobs such as they exist. Stop the bleed— eliminate the need.... to pay out our life’s blood to nobodies.

Exactly!

The war on poverty created epic welfare.

Although poor whites get half of it which they spend on fentanyl resulting in the most OD’s per capita in WV, TN and KY-what did we get for it? Lotsa of entitlement in trailer parks with nothing but “gimme, gimme, gimme” attitude and that being passed from generation to generation.

My goldfish taught me that unlike the blacks they are hundreds of miles from the wealthiest cities ever on earth.

Guess what “entitlement” means beyond the welfare class!

Taking money from state income tax revenues and estate taxes, taxes everybody who pays. Where are the reparations in that?

Oh wait, rats think only white people pay taxes???

They fed 5he bears to the point that the bears cannot fend for themselves.

It is the ultimate in selfishness.

We’re not rotting away, they are the ones living largely unchanged in 60yrs despite owning every modern convenience.

These cities are some of the wealthiest cities ever on earth unlike the poor whites with virtual zero economic opportunity. Our fellow citizens are living a third world existence in the shadows of obscene wealth. Largely thanks to the leftist social science experiments that ends with keeping the blacks on the plantation.

That other reply is more brash and obnoxious than intended.

Sorry about that-I’ll try to do better next time.

I mostly enjoy your posts.

Since Democrats were slave owners & Republicans freed the slaves, I’m all for taxing Democrat supporters for reparations.

1) Nobody is owed reparations for slavery because nobody alive today was a slave.

AND no one in the U.S. has owned a slave since 1863.

How much pay for pay for reparations for those who died to free them?.

If anybody needs to pay for reparations it’s Africa they sold them not white people.

This will result in wealthy black people paying reparations to poor black people.

That brings up a great point. Did you know that there are poor black people who are wealthy? I'm speaking of class. Give a low class mentality person a bunch of money and they'll still be low class, and their spending will be destructive.

I've lived long enough to realize the grift by much of the ghetto black population, witnessing it first hand. Litigation through the thousands of predatory personal injury lawyers. The industry has become a joke in itself. In my first job in high school as a grocery clerk, we'd routinely witness shoppers TRYING to trip, throwing fresh produce on the floor and stepping on it. They'll seek out wet spots or puddles on the floor to deliberately walk through and "lose their balance." It is one of the most wicked things I've ever witnessed, it is the epitome of false witness, condemned in the top 10 Commandments.

Now we don't even hesitate to pay out a settlement instead of going to court. Sure, it's probably cheaper and more convenient, but it only encourages the parasites 1000 fold.

So, when is the Democratic party going to offer to pay reparations? No organization still in existence today played a more instrumental role in supporting slavery.

Well, 1865 is when slavery officially ended. The "loyal" slave states like Kentucky were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation.

Only a minority of Southern whites were slaveowners in 1861 and very few of their descendants are wealthier than they would have been except for their ancestors' slaveholding--a lot of the wealth of the South was destroyed in the war. Poorer white families might have a slaveowning ancestor or two in their family tree if you go back enough generations (Henry Louis Gates on "Finding Your Roots" is gleeful whenever he can show one of his guests that they had an ancestor who owned a slave) but they were still poor. And of course many whites are descended from people who came to the US after 1865.

Everyone in the US is vastly better off than even the rich people of 1861--they did not have telephones, radios, televisions, cars, planes, air-conditioning, computers, or a host of other inventions we take for granted. The people demanding reparations never stop to consider how much they benefit from living in the US compared to "people of color" living in third world countries today.

The solution is easy. Pay every black person or person who identifies as black, $1million.

Pay them in freshly printed Confederate money.
