No white man alive in America today ever owned a slave and no black man alive in America today ever picked cotton.

Enough with this nonsense.

The non-POC won’t be able to move out of Californistan fast enough once this reparations crap gets rolling.

They never did anything to deserve “reparations”. They can go take a flying leap at a rolling donut.

California and Washington were not slave states. Why are they discussing repartations?

America has reached peak progressivism, entitlement and virtue-signaling, paid for by massive debt and printed money.

What it changes into next - collapse and freedom / or hard and brutal tyranny, is unknown.

Reparations to which slaves? Haven’t met any for quite a while. Shove it, liberals. Reparate all you want. On your money. The rest of us have real work to do.

Why? Because California and Washington state were such huge slave states?

Reparations were paid in the form of 600,000 + White lives lost during the WBTS.

Some of my ancestors were involved in the underground railroad. None ever owned slaves. I should get a credit or exemption.

The first syop on the road map must be cumpulsary DNA tests.

Any tested person with non African genes gets no reparations.

Theos who receive the reparations must be branded so as to deter double dipping

“California and Washington were not slave states. Why are they discussing reparations?”

Because they are woketards who are scared half to death of blacks, and think blacks will forgive them for their white privilege if given money. They also believe beyond all doubt that blacks are incapable of fending for themselves without the help of their liberal white saviors.

Give them 10 years where they do not and can not participate in federal taxes - sounds fair to me. The rest of Americans will just have to deal with the repercussions of their being prohibited from participating in federal taxes for 10 years. Oh, I’m sure we’ll be able to pull through. Then this will all be behind us.

Reginald Denny suffered a fractured skull and impairment of his speech and his ability to walk, for which he underwent years of rehabilitative therapy. After unsuccessfully suing the City of Los Angeles, Denny moved to Arizona, where he worked as an independent boat mechanic and has mostly avoided media contact.

The "reparations" game is actually backwards. As such it is fallacious.

Family and corporate wealth predicated on actual slave ownership historically proven might be able to argue for who owes, but not all owe generally. My grandparents all came through Ellis island circa 1900 and as such were not owners of slaves anywhere in the world.

The latest political noise is merely the Democrats yet again using race as a tool in their continuing lust for relative power and wealth. But it is amusing, as now the Democrats will require documented historical lineage back to an actual slave for payments, thereby angering those who think they deserve reparations "just because."

An anecdote as example. A neighbor gal decades back in southern California spoke about her African heritage wistfully, and I found a local language class to offer, and said I would also enroll for the fun of it. She declined, and went on to complain of the then "discrimination" about church going on Sundays, which was in the papers at that time. I again offered to go to a local AME church with here only to learn she preferred to go to her Episcopal church. Sometimes, I concluded, people just like to complain.

Sometime later she asked if I would go with her to a night school Spanish class as the school district was paying a bonus to Spanish-speaking teachers.

Fast forward, I worked around the world, learned a number of languages, and caught up with her at the end of her life. She hadn't learned Swahili or Spanish. But she got along fine anyway. And din't need reparations. Left her heir a million dollar house.
