Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supports issuing reparations to the black community, making him the most prominent 2024 candidate to favor the controversial policy meant to atone for slavery and legal segregation.

President Biden has largely been silent on the issue, leading to frustration among the far left.

I want reparations from the black community for the security cameras that I have to put up because of them. For emotional stress from the high black fkr that tried to gain entry into my apartment three weeks ago. Reparations from them for my share of taxes thats gone to everything from funding their abortions to welfare to affirmative action programs, crime programs, black awareness programs, public defenders, billboard ads... fk.

Looks like the Political Right has dodged a major bullet.

I was certain that RFK would pull Independents away from Trump.

Reparations?

This clown show is over!

Reparations doesn’t seem to fit under the ‘Independent’ banner—more fitting for an Autonomist’s platform.

This ONLY helps if the Republicans are willing to let the country know his position on reparations, because the media sure as hell will not publicize it...but the media will made damn sure that EVERY Republican voter knows where RFK stands on vaccines.

Isn’t it great to have total closure?

“The finishing end is at hand”—Bob Dylan “To Ramona.”

I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
With worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin’ and returnin’
Back to the South
You’ve been fooled into thinking
That the finishin’ end is at hand

Yet there’s no one to beat you
No one t’ defeat you
‘Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

I’d forever talk to you
But soon my words
Would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe
Who knows, baby
I’ll come and be cryin’ to you

Never forget: Kennedy is a far left liberal. Don’t let him try to fool you.

If other policy issues of RFK Jr. hadn’t seen the light of day, that would have been a deal breaker.

There are many issues with RFK Jr. but reparations is deal breaker for me regarding any candidate.

He might say the things people want to hear about the CDC and the shots, outside of that he’s as Left as they come.

Every day, it seems, that people still so easily fall for anything these people say.

Granted, if I were President tomorrow I’d have him in the Oval Office and give him the opportunity to go after all of them, with extreme prejudice. See if he’s legit.

Outside of that…..NAH!

I’m not in favor of most of what Kennedy proposes with regard to this on the link to his website in the article.

However Trump seems to have many similar programs advertised on his website as well, called the Platinum Plan for blacks.

Kennedy’s sounds worse, but not tremendously. It’s all vote bribing either way, using handouts which history shows are usually wasted.

Were any of RFK, Jr.,'s ancestors in the US before the Civil War? If they were "famine Irish," then probably. Did any of them fight in the Union Army?

In any case, I'm not interested in his ideas on reparations. No one who was a slave in the US is alive today. Most white Americans are descended from people who were dirt-poor in the 19th century, or who came to America after 1865, and had no involvement in slavery.

If slavery is so bad, why isn't anyone working to end it where it still exists today?

“Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supports issuing reparations to the black community,”

$$$$$$$$$

Excellent. God is good. God is great. Praise his Holy Name.

This will drain even more of the nitwit vote from Biden, and bring back most of the Trump hating Republicans who thought that RFKj would be a non-Democrat alternative.

Anyone who would vote for Initials Jr is a commie.

It is that simple.
