Bernie Sanders confronted by supporters demanding slavery reparations as he courts the black vote

'I know you're scared to say 'black,' I know you're scared to say 'reparations,' one panelist told him

An audience member shouted at him, 'We were promised reparations! We were told we were going to get it!'

Sanders does not support reparations and said tonight he doesn't have a magical solution to the problem when it comes to Native Americans, either

Senator has been plagued by the issue since he was asked about it at a forum in Iowa last month, where he said there's no way it passes Congress

Leader of the group sponsoring the event spoke before Sanders and told the audience they shouldn't feel 'ashamed' for asking for reparations....

The reparations have already been doled out.

If you gave reparations to blacks, white folks would have all the money back in no time. What you think they’re just going to deposit those checks in the bank and live off the interest? Or spend it on “bling”?

I gave reparations about 14 years ago.

one of obama’s sons touched my girl’s backside in a neighborhood deli and i gave him 10 minutes of reparations.

I think I paid him back for the trouble they’ve caused the past 40 years.

But next time i’ll make extra sure an make it 15 minutes if one of them touches my wife. .

Black audience members who spoke to DailyMail.com were in near universal agreement that reparations should be paid.

I have a better idea -- cut off ALL welfare entitlements. ...and let the chips fall where they may. Might be a bit ugly for a while, but they'll settle down eventually.

If blacks receive reparations for their ancestral slavery, then those of Irish decent deserve reparations for their ancestral indentured servitude.

Ship ‘em back to Africa.

We will see how long these losers last in Ebola land.

If they want to stay in America, they need to get off their damn asses and get a freakin’ job.

What a riot! In the other sense of the word.

One or the other will be cowed into silence.

Well, this makes sense.

You have entitlement-demanding-African-American-handout-demanders confronting a self-loathing-guilt-riddled-Jewish-Liberal-Apologist. Woody Allen would fit in here perfectly.

These two go together and deserve each other.

Well, the slaves were never rich to begin with, so no great wealth was taken from them, their freedom was.
Nobody alive in America ever had a slave so why should we pay now?

I am all for giving reparations to blacks on two conditions.
1. If they accept reparations they forfeit their US citizenship
2. They must move leave the US never to return

I’m guessing most blacks in the US can’t trace their ancestry back to an African slave. Their ancestors were given freedom and land, and later the right to vote, integration and Affirmative Action.

Regarding American Indians, they were given land that they control and their tribes are making hundreds of million dollars (if not billions) from their casinos and cigarette sales...all tax free.
