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.

Race card.

I’ll agree to pay reparations on condition every black American goes back to Africa and never comes to our shores again.

Somehow, I don’t see them taking up the offer.

For people that hate whitey they sure like to use all of our inventions we created and financed, our cars, home styles, clothing styles and even hair styles.

They hate us and hate America but they know full well they’d never have the kind of life and freedom elsewhere that they have here.

Ingrates.

I think the leftists push this crap because it’s a hot button that creates tension between blacks and whites instantly especially with all the amount of taxes we pay to fund all the freebies (i.e. welfare, housing, food, medical care, phones, etc...). They want to create racial division between blacks and whites so they wont unite as they did in this last election which created big problems for them on this last election.

They’ve striven mightily to forget about God. They say God is something that whitey invented, and therefore they can invent their own. Well it ain’t so.

“The US Federal government has zero responsibility for slavery. No Federal law authorized or imposed it on anyone.”

Not to put too fine a point on this, but the U.S. Constitution provided for slavery. The word “slavery” does not appear in the text, but that is what was meant by the term “held to service” as well as the reference to “three fifths of all other persons.”

Then there is the Declaration of Independence.

And they can make a living in the country they hate, ripping on the white majority and living off working peoples’ money via welfare and social program wealth transfer programs, without fear of reprisals.

I don’t know if you are aware of the fact; most BLACK AFRICANS HATE BLACK AMERICANS.

If reparations were justified, why didn’t obama take it up? If reparations were the right thing to do, why didn’t Hillary run on it?

They know it’s total BS.

Their game is pushed from the infernal depths of hell.

While America isn’t the same as a church, it has been a remarkable demonstration of what a Christendom that works together, even across denominational boundaries, looks like.

If we wonder why America seems to have so many ills, I think we have a ready answer. It is the site of an intense spiritual battle.

I’ve sometimes wondered whether, during the cataclysms of Revelation that lead up to the personal rule and reign of Jesus Christ, America is somehow managing to sit under a protective spiritual umbrella at that point, and that’s why we aren’t hearing about it in the bible. Most of the chaos goes on in the Old World, which by that point has ditched the Lord, while the Trump movement has succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.

“Yeah... and America DID suffer as a consequence. The Civil War.”

I think I understand what you wrote.

There is one question I have always wanted to ask someone that understands history: If the South was fighting for slavery, who was fighting against slavery?

Absolutely. Every descendant of any of the slaves owes every descendant of any of the Union troops reparations...

I don’t think it was that simple. I think both sides were fighting under the moral burden of slavery.

Who was fighting against slavery? God.
