Angela Rye: ‘There’s Nothing Un-American About Reparations’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | November 22, 2016 | Madeleine Weast

Posted on 11/22/2016 7:49:56 PM PST by kevcol

CNN political commentator Angela Rye called for reparations during a heated discussion with Donald Trump supporter Carl Higbie on air Tuesday afternoon.
.

.
Higbie, a former Navy SEAL and conservative pundit, started by commenting on how New York City’s skyline represents Donald Trump’s accomplishments and how every other American wants to achieve the same thing. He added that the Democratic Party wants to keep Americans dependent on the government.

Rye, the former executive director of the Congressional Black Caucus, became visibly angry at Higbie’s statement.

All good liberals should give all their wealth to baby mammas and ded beat dads in the ghetto. Every penny. Do it.

Guess who told them what to say. That’s right. Lefty illiberal “liberals.”

No no no, they earn a pass by making a stink about it. It’s everybody ELSE that has gotta pay!

They promote Reparations with hateful intent, and without regard for the Black man that simply wants to be part of a free and prosperous Country.

Uhm K. I am not going to watch anymore videos of this intellectual hack who has obiously setup arguments and wargamed them to death, so she will always have a response.

Make no mistake, she is not reacting. She spends her waking hours thinking about this garbage and feeding weak minded souls their spoonful of entitlement.

It is time to end the conversation with her, Van Jones and others.

I will just not watch her anymore and feed con game

Snowflakes want more welfare for the racially aggrieved.

Oh wait - that hasn’t brought about racial peace?

And how exactly will reparations make that happen.

God has amazing blessings for anyone who is willing to give up the “entitled” schtick — as though they had managed to earn anything on God’s books.

I’m fine with reparations... if in order to receive them, you and your family have return to Africa (or wherever you claim to have been taken as a slave from) and never come back.

Probably be cheaper than welfare.

Reparations have been provided several times in various ways.
When we’re more than 3 generations from the guilty and the victims, the issue is over.

One reason why most societies don’t get very far, however, is that there is also a “conservative” idea of entitlement too.

Conservative? Entitlement? Am I being a crazy redneck?

Well yes, though it is generally taken as being entitled to feel superior to those jerky lefties.

As soon as we look at ourselves before God, we get a different perspective. Different kinds of sin do not equate to entitlement to feel superior.

It is never going to be over with these people. They just need to be removed from the country right now. It’s the only hope they have of getting over it and the only hope we have of getting over the race issue.

The US Federal government has zero responsibility for slavery. No Federal law authorized or imposed it on anyone. The slave states are the ones responsible. So they are the ones which would owe reparations, if any valid claimants still live.

“‘There’s Nothing Un-American About Reparations’”

Simple solution: Congress should pass a law placing a $10,000 “reparations surcharge” each semester on white college student tuitions. That will end the appetite for this kind of liberal garbage.

I’m also OK with reparations. Every living person who held slaves should compensate every living slave he once owned. But then again, that debt was paid in full with the 500,000 or so lives lost in the war that freed them.

It will need a spiritual revolution.

I believe that an intimation of this is what is driving Donald Trump. God whispered something amazing to Donald.

It’s true that what some might call “karma” was in fact visited on America in the historical throes in which it shed slavery.

Now after THAT... how about Jim Crow?

Well that was a Democrat thang.

We've already been paying reparations in the form of taxes that pays for their food, medical care, housing, phones, etc...at least one day a week 52 days a year for as many years as we've worked. One other question - Rye, do you have black blood flowing through your veins?
