"After debate, the Judiciary Committee voted 9-3 to advance SB 1331 along party lines."

Reparations may end up being the straw that breaks the Dem's back in a state that hovers at 55% hispanic and 15% Asian, with neither group inclined to shoulder reparations.

That was a great point. Another one is that more white Americans die in the civil war than any other war. Therefore it is the Union(Non slave owning) white families that should be getting reparations from the blacks.

Now this is what I really think. In actuality the event is in the past. Separated by generations. The future is only bright through forgiveness. And no reparations should be given to anyone. The only reason we are even discussing this today is because the left get its power by creating division.

Only DemocRATS should have to pay reparations since they were the party of slavery and the KKK.

Slaves were first brought
to the americas around
1619 when the British
established colonies.
From 1776 to 1865 is
89 years, not the hundreds
this nut ball claims.
Where’s the demand that
the British, or the african
countries that sold their
own people into slavery
pay reparations?
When the slave trade was full
tilt, the americas were
responsible for 3% of the
total of slaves sold
across the globe.
I figure the half million
union soldiers that fought
and died for their freedom
is payment enough.

“found it could cost $800 billion”

I say, leave the decision alone for 3-4 generations in the future.
By then, the cost would be 1.6 trillion.
Blacks would get a much bigger share.
Imagine how happy the current generation’s great grandchildren will be!

Or, go the other way and calculate reparations for only the first generation post-slavery.
$1000 each

It is also unfair for any Afro Heritage American to receive reparations if a DNA test reveals white genes.

The genes are reparations
