FBN’s Charles Payne: Obama Will Make a Push for Slave Reparations

On Thursday’s broadcast of Fox Business Network’s “Making Money,” host Charles Payne made a bold prediction when he suggested that President Barack Obama would make a push for slavery reparations.

“The news is a glimpse of much bigger news that is going to come from the White House, next year, I’m leaning towards,” Payne said during his “Payne’s Passion” segment. “I think that there’s going to be an official apology from the White House to slavery in America and then a major push to get cash, and I’m talking lots of cash.”

“Many including those closest to President Obama will push him to make this happen,” Payne continued. “I actually think it would be a major mistake. Instead, Obama should really discuss and focus on all of the progress we have made and how all Americans need to move forward for better days for all of our kids.”

I want reparations for 12 years in the schoolag archipelago.

Pigford settlement...on steroids?

I'm still de-programming/de-bugging myself! (The scales fell from my eyes late 2008—right around the time Obola was elected.)

I was in junior high then—so I've still a ways to go, de-programming the Communist/Moslem indoctrination. (I went to a private school run by Moslems after primary school. Not a religious school, but random elements of Islam did trickle down...)

Coincidence? I think not.

Nice. I find it rather hard to believe that some of the airlines in Africa continue to use first-generation jetliners; not as a primary vehicle, of course.

At least four airlines throughout Africa have a Boeing 707 on tap...

The last airline to actively use the 707 was a domestic airline in Persia; the only reason they stopped: Fuel costs got too high. This was in 2010!

We've been paying reparations since the mid 60s. Welfare, food stamps, section-8, public housing, affirmative action, hiring quotas. These are all forms of reparations. Personally, I'd be all for a formalized final tally on this issue with one last lump sum payment made to these people to close the books, with four provisos.

1) From the total amount due, we subtract the present day value of all past welfare payments ever made including the value of affirmative action, hiring quotas and college admissions.

2) All future social spending of any kind will stop.

3) U.S. Government civil service exams will be returned to their 1950 level of difficulty. All current government employees at all levels will be given one, and only one, chance to pass this exam. Failure to pass would mean immediate termination.

4) Government would be prohibited from collecting any information on race and the use of race in determining congressional districts would end.

That will never happen so the only thing that will accomplish is more division and unrest.
Which seems to be a major theme of the 0bama administration.

This article truly brings out the best comments /sarc. Actually some of the stupidest posts I’ve seen on FR in a while. Reparations will never happen, so everyone should just calm down.

It’ll be more unilateral cr*p from Barky.

Some airlines still use DC-3s and DC-4s.

Publius:" Congress will approve it with one big Catch-22:
Those who accept reparations money must accept it as they board the plane to whatever country is willing to take them and their cash. "

They must prove their slave ancestry with geneological records.
and they must return to the land where the Mooselimbs captured them , in the first place, since they are slave "off-spring"
and they must wear a yellow 'Star of David' or 'Cross' over their heart according to their religious upbringing, and use their checks as 'jizrah' or Mooslimb annual tax.
All of a sudden , this country doesn't look quite so bad.
But they can't return !

Looking for yet another boondoggle of the elites.

You know, the ones who started modern Western slavery in the first place, i.e., Jamaican sugar.

Publius:" See Posts #10 and #41."

Agreed ! and the lawyers will get most of it , again !

How about reparations for the descendants of the families of the 400,000 US military who lost their lives in the struggle to free the slaves?

[cookcounty]

"Those of us with ancestors who fought for the Union Army should be exempt from any cost of these reparations."

Correction: …should be the very first to receive "reparations."

[RginTN]

Huh, obama wants to put the policy toward cuba in the past but not reparations...typical marxist.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Oh there would be a war alright. But it wouldn’t be between blacks and whites. It would be blacks versus blacks to determine who qualifies as a descendant of slavery.

Since when does Congress have to approve anything. That’s so “ol’ school”.

The Democrats are the party of slavery. They can pay. I ain’t paying nuffin.

What about the Red Americans?

My children are Ottowa Indians and they had a treaty in 1861 which gave them 3.1 million acres in Michigan, broke the treaty a few years later and moved them to Oklahoma. But did in 1998 give them a 98 million dollar award for the land. $30 dollars an acre.

Now with that as guideline, the reparations will be about fiddy cents per slave ancestor and $40,000 per attorney!

I say pay them, and pay the decendants of the slave holders the money they spent keeping those slaves fed, clothed, sheltered and medical treatments.
