Squad Member Cori Bush Introduces Resolution Giving Reparations to Black Americans
Breitbart ^ | 05/17/2023 | Paul Bois

Posted on 05/17/2023 6:14:16 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a member of the far-left “Squad” in Congress, introduced legislation on Wednesday that would provide a federal reparations program for black Americans.

The draft of the resolution claims the United States “has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people” in the country. The resolution further calls for $14 trillion to be distributed to American blacks in an effort to close the racial wealth gap.

My solution is a "special assessment" on all professional athletes, let them put their money where their mouth is.

Or how about a $5 surcharge on every ticket to every professional sporting event, to include colleges, who are no longer "amateur" sports, we all know that ship sailed long ago.

Create a big pot of money for "reparation dollars".

This is an absolute gift to us.
Let the rodents have their vote on reparations. What possible benefit could they get? They are losing Blacks so they pull this stunt to get a few points back. This will push the rodents under 30. Go for it dummies. This shows how desperate they are.

You’re right. They never will let it go. They’re even determined to force the U.S. to pay for slavery that was practiced before the United States was created. All that slavery prior to 1776, that’s British slavery. Those were crown colonies without the ability to create just any law they wanted without limitation.

If the reparations seekers had any consistency they would be demanding reparations for 157 years of slavery from England. Realistically they should pay it, not the U.S.

So in the end if a reparations bill does ever get passed, the U.S. will pay on behalf of England’s share of the crime. How do you like that?

The U.S. only had slavery for 80+ years.

There is no such thing as “American Blacks”. There are Americans and there are Africans. I’ve never heard anyone use the term, America Whites. Never.

This stupid, retarded turd roller would have one hell of a time trying to prove the allegations the bitch is making against the non-slave owners she wants to make her a forkin’ millionaire.

Somebody needs to tell the ho that the “United States” doesn’t have any money. The bitch wants it to come out of the pockets of white American families. CWII is going to have to take place to get this straightened out. That bitch better be ready to take responsibility for what she is going to stir up. Dumb ass whore.

If they time the reparations to coincide with the collapse of the petrodollar they can virtue-signal and still get off quite cheaply....

So how much “black blood” do you need to have to qualify to win the reparations jackpot?


I’m sure that any amount will do.

Whoosh — that was the sound of the point passing by.

RINOs love to introduce strong MAGA bills when the Ds hold power (and fundraise on them) and similarly I’d bet there are now texts, emails, and paper flying out to registered Ds asking for their support bla bla bla racist bla justice bla equity.

Last year, when they were threatening to pack the court in light of Dobbs and Bruen, the danger was serious.

The most ridiculous if its being talked about needs to be heard because 9 times out of 10 it becomes reality at some point or has a plan behind it for the agenda

Mitch will not give it the time of day. Cori knows this. She’s introducing it because she knows this. Posturing and posing with zero consequences.

Congress critters introduce legislation all the time. Why does the media give this miserable cockroach and her psychotic bilge attention over the others?
