Missouri Senator Calls on White Democrats, Claire McCaskill for Slavery Reparations
Newsweek ^ | April 12, 2018 | By Benjamin Fearnow

Posted on 04/12/2018 11:28:37 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Missouri state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, blasted white Democrats on the Senate floor Tuesday, saying there’s “no difference” between them and members of the Republican Party.

Chappelle-Nadal said Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill should add slavery reparations to the national Democratic platform as she says both parties have failed African-Americans, the Kansas City Star first reported. Chappelle-Nadal gained widespread notoriety last year for a Facebook post longing for President Donald Trump’s assassination and a later tweet comparing him to Adolf Hitler, but her comments this week honed in on members of her own party.

"Neither one of them give a heck about the black community, only the votes," Chappelle-Nadal said on the Missouri Senate floor, referring to Democrats and the GOP.

She then urged McCaskill, who called on Chappelle-Nadal to resign over her Trump assassination Facebook post, to repair her image among African-American voters by placing slavery reparations in the national Democratic Party platform. "I have a whole lot of people who don't like Claire McCaskill at all who are African American,” she said. “In Boone County, Missouri, in Callaway County, Missouri — what my family contributed to making the state what it is today is incredible, and my family deserves way more than what it is getting today.”

“The Democratic Party should add reparations for African Americans to their national policy agenda. The measure should be sponsored by Missouri's own @clairecmc,” Chappelle-Nadal tweeted Thursday morning.

I agree with this loon. White Democrats should have to pay reparations for slavery. (And for the Ku Klux Klan. And for Jim Crow laws.)

Bullshit, you fat ugly loud-mouthed moron! African-Americans have (and continue) to fail themselves. Whitey ain't shooting up Chicago, Senator. If you want to see your worst enemy, look in the mirror.

I agree with her. Democrats should have to pay reparations for keeping blacks as slaves. Republicans, having fought and died for their freedom, are exempt.

Same senator that openly hoping for Trump's assassination. She shouldn't even be a senator at this point.

Facing the job economy which offers a job to anyone willing to work, the gimme dats are scared they will experience a work requirement in their welfare future, so the new welfare shall be called reparations. Only blacks need apply.

I agree too. Any black that can prove they were a slave can have reparations. Hell, I'll go one further, if any black can prove their life is worse off than if their ancestors had stayed in Africa or wherever. The poverty level in the USA would be considered rich in much of the rest of the world.

I am sick of these greedy, lazy SOB’s. Slavery ended over 150 years ago. Get the hell over it.

So descendants of abolitionists, northern civil war dead, civil rights activists and people like me whose descendants were in Europe until long after slavery ended, all owe black people money based on the color of their skin? I’ll pass.

Republicans have done far more for real civil rights for black people than democrats.

Who fought and died for ending slavery? Republicans.

Who got the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments adopted? Republicans.

Who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866? Republicans.

Who appointed the Chief Justice who ended segregated schools, and then sent in Federal troops to enforce it? A Republican.

Who was the Chief Justice who wrote the opinion ending segregated schools? A Republican.

Who got the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed? Republicans (over a democrat filibuster).

When it comes to Black Codes, Jim Crow, lynchings and the KKK, the democrats own all of that 100%.

There’s Democraps down south who have been living on the same land for generations whose ancestors owned slaves, who probably bought more land from profits on slave labor. I say they should show their socialist views and pay up.

Yeah it’s so bad here the blacks in Africa all want to come here as refugees, so how do they figure on reparations? In fact every minority we supposedly mistreat comes here in droves, even illegally.

Oh, I agree. Completely.

I thought victory was assured by open borders and gun confiscation, but, just to make sure, adding reparations from white people who had nothing to do with slavery should sew up the midterms for sure!

Where can I send a check?

F off, lady. I don’t own any slaves.
And having a pretend job as a state legislator IS a reparation.
