Not an actual Arab moslem ... just a homegrown racist gibsmedat.

Fulton County, Georgia, is the latest to move forward with a $210,000 taxpayer-funded study to evaluate if reparations for residents who are descendants of slaves are practical.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted four to two in favor of the measure to fund the study led by the Atlanta University Center and county leadership, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman, who voted in favor of the measure, said this study will bring on five researchers who will explore if reparations are warranted.

“The study specifically excludes initiatives after 1980 because that data would reveal that the taxpayers of Fulton County have invested billions of dollars in supporting its most marginalized populations,” Thorne told Fox News. “With that view in mind, many would question the need to provide handouts to people who have never been enslaved, paid for by people who never enslaved anyone.”

It is the taxpayers’ money. But who cares?
There is plenty more where that came from. All they have to do is raise taxes. And raise taxes again...... What can you do when the serfs are as stupid as ours?
[What can you do when the serfs are as stupid as ours?]
Nothing, it appears. America is to be taken down by the stupidity of half of the country.
I have watched this stupidity in motion since 2008. Absolutely cult-like behavior. Grabbing for every stupid idea that comes along. And it only gets worse.
That the SC overturned RvW and the pushback against Bud Light actually surprises me.
When the money on this pyramid scheme runs out, AND IT WILL, expect the cities to burn. Because once the free money runs out, the real fun begins.
Meanwhile the prostitute politicians think they can profit (for a short time) using this scam, which is inevitably DOOMED to FAIL.
When Africans were brought here as slaves, they did not have names.
When they were freed, they usually took the names of their masters.
When a reparations seeker applies, it'd be relatively easy
to track down the heirs of the masters......and make them pay.
What America is today is not my America. I do not care if the current monstrosity called “Biden’s America” is torn apart.
My ancestors were still in Sweden when slavery ended.
Does that get me off the hook?
Maybe they should get on the repavation bandwagon. Roads need paving more than gibmedats need another handout
“...this study will bring on five researchers who will explore if reparations are warranted.”
Mine were in Germany.
Worked with the idiots drowning in college loan debt so why not?
And it’ll be slammed as not enough
I want reparations.
Someone somewhere along the line did something to my ancestors.
Now, THAT’S one uppity nagger!

They had names just first names. By the way Europeans with two names where the surname was passed to the next generation was roughly 16th-17th century phenomenon. Prior to that and until the custom died out your surname might be your occupation, where you were from or copy\identify with the local lord. With the rise of non-nobles having property (Rise of the middle class!) the need for uniquely identifiable names were necessary for inheritance for this class of people. Surnames had to go down from father to son, etc. (Nobles already had family names!) Some European nations like the Scandinavians lagged behind all that. There the father’s first name was incorporated into the son or daughter’s surname. So, for blacks having first names then adopting either locale or master’s names isn’t that different from the European experience and doesn’t differ that much in time.
Sorry folks. Reparations are necessary and required and long overdue.
We’re just going to have to pay them, financial burden or not.
Who shall we enslave to generate that kind of cash? MAGA republican white supremicist terrorists. 81 million of them.
As you know, the civil war was the first great reset. At the end of it, the “masters” had little to bequeath to their heirs, perhaps some rubble. So what you’re saying is you want the fourth-, fifth- or sixth-generation descendants of the “masters” to pay, who did not own slaves and did not inherit any slave-produced wealth. Your solution is no better than any other unjust idea out there, and the most likely outcome is this alligator is coming for everyone.
This is designed to be a wedge issue in 2024 to keep Georgia blue. Fulton County is primarily Atlanta. Wealthy North Fulton should have broken away a long time ago. Geographically they have nothing to do with Atlanta.
The ultimate goal of the Leftist reparations movement is to dish out payments from the federal treasury. No state or municipality can print enough money to do it, but the feds can.
to plan...
Good men doing nothing. Christians not defending the faith. Normalizing LGBT. Allowing our (heritage Americans) kids to be overly comfortable. All this has brought us here. It’s going to get much worse before it gets better, and ‘getting better’ isn’t guaranteed.
