Millennials are more open to idea of slavery reparations: Study shows majority of young people think African Americans should be compensated for ancestors' suffering

**SNIP**

Baby boomers between ages 51-69 are similar, with a 79-17 per cent margin against reparations.

The numbers start changing when it comes to Generation Xers, with Americans between the ages of 35-50 breaking 73 per cent to 25 per cent against reparations.

The biggest shift comes with millennials, with a majority — 51 per cent — saying that reparations should be paid or they were unsure of whether reparations should be paid.

Eh. Eventually they will realize who is actually paying the reps. Then the numbers will change. “Wha... Who.. Me man?”

Young ignorant lefty persons annoy me to the enth degree. I wish I had more tolerance for them... But they know so little truth and yet believe they have all knowledge.

I raised 5 kids... I would have smacked the first one who ever talked like I hear today.

Younger people always almost more open-minded to inane policy proposals.
Doesn’t mean they don’t tend to change their minds as they get older. Especially when they start having careers, families, and property of their own.

===================================

You are SO right, UC.
They change their minds as soon as they have to deal with the reality that money doesn't grow on the mommy/daddy tree.

Millenials seem to be idiots.
Victims of the Marxist indoctrination centers we call public schools and universities.

Fine. Let them add it to their 1040s. Just not as a deduction.

Great idea, I live in the North, how much reparations are they going to pay me for freeing the slaves? I figure the life of Abraham Lincoln which was sacrificed at that altar is at least worth a trillion.

I’ll agree to my share of a million dollars each, as long as any who take it renounce their US citizenship, leave, and never come back !

An economist totalled up all the funds expended since the beginning of the “War on Poverty”:

He discovered that adjusted dollar amount was enough to purchase EVERY share of EVERY company on the Dow Jones, and you would still have left over the amount of money required to buy EVERY acre of farmland in the USA.

Ponder THAT.

Hey, if these jerks want to pay reparations, let them. I’ll even set up a Reparations Mail Box address for them to send money every pay period, if they have jobs. Otherwise, I’ll accept it from the unemployment, welfare, and free cheese checks.

Take away all food stamps, welfare and obamaphones. then give every former slave family 40 acres and a mule and tell them to support themselves. I’m for it.

These smug leftists won't lift a finger to free the millions of people who are enslaved today:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_slavery

Instead, they want Americans who never owned slaves to give money to other Americans who never were slaves.

This somehow proves that leftists are morally superior.

Yup.

And the irony is that all the “War on Poverty” has done is create MORE poverty.

This is of course by design. Demscum rely on the dependent poor for their voting base. Hence, their policies are designed to create MORE dependent poor...

Oh good grief. You'd think at some point they would run out of crap to "study".
