Can we still burn people at the stake?

this is what you, an individual, conscientious, “woke” citizen can do.

If that's what "woke" people do then I'll stay asleep, thank you very much.

Nobody actually believes this will ever be paid; this is about moving the goalposts so the true goal (preserving racial preferences, despite the obvious legal problems with the inequality therein) is achieved.

I honestly believe that was one of Obama’s true missions (in fact, he did little else), and he was very successful in it. Throw the reparations BS out there, and suddenly giving free/unearned college degrees, jobs/promotions, government loans, etc. to blacks is the “centrist” position. They are just moving the goalposts...

What you are describing IS the reparations: Housing, meals, and education provided by primarily white taxpayers to blacks who don’t contribute one cent to any of it.

We’ve had de facto reparations for half a century now...

It is beyond that; they ALREADY lost enough to Trump to cost them the upper Midwest. This is to reverse that trend - the one where blacks wake up and realize they’ve been conned for decades by white “liberals” who basically kept them enslaved in ghettoes. White liberals today still oppose the idea of educating blacks; that is why they are on opposite sides of the education reform debate.

"They are just moving the goalposts..."

You are correct.

I had one, but some urban utes punched me in the back of the head and stole it.

My family emigrated from Italy 100 years ago.

The Civil War was over for over 50 years by then.

Don’t expect anything from me.

I agree. And, considering what a spectacular failure that has been in improving the situation of blacks (I would argue that it has made things worse overall), I don't know how anyone could think that throwing more money that way is going to make any positive difference.

Of course, it is possible that there are other reasons to argue for reparations. I remember reading years ago that the inside opinion of the federal government is that the situation of blacks is not going to improve, so the welfare system is a way of keeping the peace. Reparations would just be icing on the cake.

Whites tell Georgetown Professor “thanks for helping us regain our identity as whites, now get the F@@# out of our country!”

I'm trying to reconcile the competing thoughts of 1) owing reparations for slavery that ended in 1863, and 2) we are a "nation of immigrants" who largely came to America in the 1900s.

In my case, my great-grandfather escaped the pogroms and came to the United States in the early 1900s. How does that tie me to slavery that ended in 1863 when my ancestors were still in eastern Europe fleeing their own persecution?

What, fifty years of payments on LBJ’s legacy aren’t enough?

I spent my IRA contribution on FN rifles and 7.62 ammunition.

I think it would be better if we just sent anyone who thinks this nation owes them reparations back to wherever the hell they think they came from.

“fought in the Union Army that ended up freeing the slaves.”

Except the Union Army didn’t free any slaves. That’s just bogus public school propaganda.

What did the Union Army do with slaves that came into its lines?

Re-enslaved them into service of the Union army.

Slaves were not free until the 13th Amendment. That was after the war.

You’ll find that the Emancipation Proclamation, which took effect on January 1, 1863, had the effect of freeing all slaves who came into Union lines in the Confederacy.
