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.

I am ok with reparations as well. Levy a tax on the Democrat party to pay for it.

An economist added it up, the total amount of US funds spent since the War on Poverty:

You could buy EVERY share of EVERY company on the NYSE with that money.

You would still have left over enough money to buy EVERY acre of farmland in the USA.

REPARATIONS...?

To white folks, right?

Go out to the cemeteries and dig up the dead who had slaves.

Take as much money from them as you can.

I have never had a slave.

My family never owned slaves.

Giving people who were never slaves as “reparations” for slavery won’t satisfy them. They will accept nothing less than whites enslaved to blacks. Forever.

That's one VERY stupid mulatto.

Her white parts should give her blacks parts reparations and that should be the end of this mordant stupidity!

They don’t like pushback, and the race card has expired. Welcome to the new world, snowflake.

I owe absolutely zero to anyone for slavery.

These people are impacable. They will never stop because it will never be enough. They make a living fomenting dissent.

THe only solution is to strip them of citizenship and send them home to the motherland where everything is wonderful and pure.

The reparations have been paid in many forms over, and over for generations. It’s time to stop paying, not start.

And she will never admit that by excluding people because their skin isn’t the right color is racist. Like the Congressional Black Caucus.

Thousands of blacks were slave owners. The majority of whites were not slave owners. None of those people are alive today.

If they still want reparations they should go after the people who were responsible: the blacks in Africa who sold their fellow man to the Muslim slave traders.

I know! We’ll get white snowflake college kids to pay for it. More money for blacks to go to vocational schools that will result in real employment, less money for gender studies majors.

I suggest every living person who has owned a slave pay that particular slave reparations.

which party benefits as more people are in need of govt assistance?

as such, it shouldn’t shock anyone why their policies ALWAYS result in higher unemployment and lower wages.

they also do everything they can to promote behaviors that will result in lower opportunities and decrease the employment options for the individual. things like drug use, single motherhood, crime, and out of control body modifications

I agree with the fellow who says tax the Democrats. If the so called Great Society was to be their bail out and redemption, then it obviates reparations too.

What lefties HAVE done is to “inspire” “black America” with perpetual grievances, which is guaranteed to torpedo their progress. This is nothing less than Satan’s game. They should be told to go where Satan lives if they really love it so much.
