We shouldda picked our own cotton ...
Their ancestors coming here as slaves turned out to be the greatest gift they could have been given and they opt to crap in the streets instead of trying to continue building something of value - they owe us...big time.
Haven’t we already paid reparations several times over?
So Pelosi, when are you paying up? Shall I send you my direct deposit information?
“Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy.”
The US had legalized slavery for about 80 years (from the end of the Revolution until the Civil War); the “hundreds of years” nonsense destroys any discussion before it starts.
“Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole”
Americans seem determined to replace the “descendants of slavery” with new blood from south of the border; black America is being repaid by having the government (successfully) assist them in every way to slaughter their offspring. Many urban welfare reservations that had been nearly 100% black are now very Hispanic, even electing Hispanic politicians.
This is how the reparations question has been settled for once and for all...
problem is... many of us have zer0 interest in a ‘hole’ country that involves progressives
they are the pox on the nation’s soul.
they are the stench of death wafting from the trenches.
they are the embodiment of sloth that seeps the drive from men’s souls
they are everything i despise and detest
and yes, they want everything you have ... if you’ve been a hard working conservative American
there is no dealing with them.
there is no pacifying them.
no matter how many concessions you give, they’ll always want more.
it’s either big govt, cradle to grave progressive utopia, or the meritocracy the founders dreamed of.
i’m in the 10%.
the 10% of Americans that are not ‘re-educatable’.
the 10% that believes in capitalism over socialism.
the 10% that believes Americans should rely on themselves and not fedgov for their subsistence.
the 10% they want to put up against the wall and dispose of, as Larry Grathwohl described.
i’m fine with that, as i’ll be in good company as they try to get us to that wall.
OK, I accept. The currently living AA race is committing a great disparity of property and violent crimes against members of other races. So pay up for the damages, the cost of enforcement, and the cost of incarceration.
There is also a great disparity in the percentage taking handouts, so let's have the working AA compensate by paying higher taxes.
I bet I won't get any takers on those reparations.
There is not, the descendants of slave became citizens of what once was the greatest, freest country on earth with the best opportunity for success, they were repaired. Some chose to embrace freedom, others chose division and disembly and are expected to be handed their “gib me dats”. They were given the greatest gift of mankind and they spit on it and supported those that tore it down and destroyed it, “the American Dream”
Mindless idiots who consistently subscribe to such a divisive political doctrine are completely oblivious to the fact that once passing beyond the tipping point, the collapse into chaos will likely end with them being mislead and enslaved by the socialists they listened to in the first place.
In this situation, it is unlikely a Christian front united and strong enough to change hearts and minds, leading to emancipation would emerge for decades if not centuries.
Didn’t anyone learn anything from the collapsed socialist regimes during the 20th century?!? The price for such ignorance will likely be horrific.
My sympathy account is bankrupt.
I’m calling BS on all of this. If there are any living now who were slaves, they should be entitled to reparations from those slave holders of theirs who are also living now. I have no “White Guilt”. I haven’t owned slaves and I will not pay anything on behalf of those who did.
By the way, there are many people in Muslim countries right now who are slaves. Get excited about that.
The net, annual loss that blacks cost the country in spending on welfare, crime, and overall incompetence when placed in jobs they’re not qualified to perform is probably anywhere from a half trillion to a trillion dollars. Blacks who ask for reparations have no idea how sick many whites are from their constant complaining and whining.
I think that every person who ever owned a slave in the USA, should pay reparations to every person who was ever held as a slave. I am 100% in favor of this.
Pay any remaining slaves in Confederate Dollars.....There you go.
My final offer, one Rice Krispie square each.
