Could anything do more to racially devide this country? Talk of reparations is absolute proof the left wants to keep racism alive.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hakeem-jeffries-pelosi-likely-replacement-supports-commission-study-slavery-reparations Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the top candidate to replace Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic leader, supports legislation to study the feasibility of providing reparations to the descendants of enslaved individuals. Jeffries, D-N.Y., is one of nearly 200 co-sponsors of a bill to create a national commission to study and develop proposals on slavery reparations. The 13-member commission would be tasked with presenting appropriate remedies to the lingering negative effects of slavery and discrimination within the United States. "The call for reparations represents a commitment to entering a constructive dialogue on the role of slavery and racism in shaping present-day conditions in our community and American society," said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat who authored the legislation. Although the bill has failed to make progress in the Democratic-controlled House since 2019, its support has grown in recent years. Jeffries was one of the bill's early supporters when it was first introduced in 2019. |

You think there's a racial divide now? Go ahead and give reparations and see what happens.

If us Irish get a slice of the pie I am all in.
I still cry when I watch Blazing Saddles. |

I sure as he'll wish my grandparents had picked their own damn cotton!!

Good, the crazier and farther left the better. Let their dumb ideas collapse upon themselves.
|

If I'm going to be forced to pay reparations then I at least want a slave first. Fair is fair.

View Quote So I guess there was no real gains and accomplishments to winning the House if the Senate is going to remain in communist hands. Btw, where do we Irish go to get our reparations? Oh thats right, Irish have an element of pride. Nvm. |

Quoted: Root cause analysis. View Quote I have the commemorative box set, its quite good! That said why should say some kid born say in year 2002 who is now 20, why should that person be entitled to anything? I would say pay a former slave, but none exist. Or do you mean modern definitions of a slave as the slave of the state? Wouldnt that then mean the tax payer? So in fact slavery reparations should be paid exclusively to those who have paid income tax as this would erase any concerns about unequal application in society due to outer membrane pigmentation.. |

Good.
I kind of missed out on the Indian thing, maybe I can get in on this one. (Shrugs) It's free money, right? |
|
If there are reparations, then afterwards end welfare in all forms to blacks.
Let's get this done once and for all. |
|
Slightly off topic but I've noticed since pelosi's husband was involved with Underwear Boy, shes been awful quiet. It really took the wind out of her big mouth. I don't believe shes worried about him as much as worried about herself getting caught in something. Maybe I'm wrong.

Reparations for what?
No one alive was ever a fucking slave in the south on a plantation. And hence, deserve jack shit. Like others have said welfare, section 8 and being a protected class with get out jail card. They deserve nothing more than you or me. And yet, they still get special privileges for their skin color with affirmative action . |

My grandma worked for the DNC and the reps have always made me sick, even as a kid. They’re like a cross between a used car salesman and a mobster. |

Quoted: I still don't understand slavery reparations View Quote Merely putting it out to be debated and voted on will be a huge rallying issue for even the moderate left. |

Hakeem, your people got their reparations during the riots of 2020 and the big problem here is that they just keep on taking.
When will it end and when do we start getting some of it back? |
|
Bring it on, anything to start the balkanization as soon as possible.
Must prove genetic link to actual previously owned slave in the US. All others get nothing. |

We are going to have to colonise Mars to escape this dumb shit

I identify as a slave currently. 1/3 to 1/2 of my wages every month go to the pedophiles running the government.

Replacing Pelosi for what? She’s out as Speaker very shortly so who cares what it wants.
|
|
Years of welfare, affirmative action and the deaths of countless men from both the North and the South is reparations enough………they deserve nothing more
|
|
I'll take the money owed to all my family members that fought on for the Union too.
I'd say they paid my bill already. Fuck "reparations". |
