Only if you were a slave. Not descendents.

Pretty much all they have to offer, other than abortions for all. What a sick, twisted world they inhabit.

Dave Chappelle already did a serious study on reparations in his TV show.

Good. Let's drive that wedge deeper.

My Dutch ancestors in Rockingham Co VA, and English ancestors near Raleigh NC owned plantations and slaves.

I tell ya, the guilt is overwhelming.

Who do I write a check to?

If they ever enact such a program, every single person in the country, of every color, shade and tone, should apply and vigorously defend their racial qualification.

I believe such legislation will come to pass. I really do.

The consequences will be profound.

Why should the government that fought a war that freed the slaves pay reparations to them? It makes absolutely no sense.

So one day the dems will put us a few trillion in debt to pay reparations and the tax payers get to pay the interest on that debt.

If the dems get their way they will legalize 30 million illegals and they like the rest of us will get to kick in for these reparations despite never having been around for slavery.

Don't forget the Freedman's Bureau and the countless trillions spent specifically on welfare and grants to correct racial economic disparity.

I'll see them asking for reparations, and raise them the cost of rebuilding the cities destroyed by their antics.

I'll call.

And that figure must be paid by a former slave owner, no exceptions.

I thought my neighbor's cat suddenly learned how to say 'hakeem'.

But it turns out the cat was just gacking up a hairball. My bad.

Kick them out of the country so hard they need some reparations H

They aim to divide this country one way or another.

Reparations have been paid by all the white Union soldiers who fought and died.

Commissions are where ideas go to die. If they were serious they would simply introduce legislation. But then they would be on record and pols don’t like that.

Think how strange this must look to a ghost of a Union soldier. The Democrats demanding slave reparations. The ghost of the Confederate soldier probably sees what the democrats have done to so many cities in the South, then gets very angry. The current generation better hope to live a long time. On the other side having the old Union and Confederate armies united in their hatred for the current generation means the current generation is really looking towards a rough afterlife.

You would think they would find the thought of being bought twice abhorrent.

This, they seek out points of contention that have that effect. Free stuff breeds the desire for more and constant affirmation of how oppressed you are builds resentment . That would be it for me , they don't deserve reparations. They pile on shoving this shit down our throats trying to hit the breaking point.

Did anyone think they would put a moderate in that position?

The same guy also must live on Fantasy Island. Here is part of a press release he did earlier this year in regards to gun violence:

https://jeffries.house.gov/2022/02/03/rep-jeffries-we-will-deal-with-this-gun-violence-scourge-with-the-fierce-urgency-of-now/

The legislation, which passed the House of Representatives in November, would fund violence interruption programs to deploy trusted messengers to engage directly with individuals in their communities and hospital-based violence interventions to aid shooting victims and reduce the chances of them being involved with violence in the future. Further, the program would use proven strategies other than incarceration, which costs the government and families of justice-involved people at least $182 billion every year, including $80.7 billion for Public Corrections Agencies.

WTF is hospital based violence intervention?
And apparently he doesn't think we should arrest/jail people who commit crimes with guns either, rather claims there are "proven strategies other than incarceration". And those proven strategies are?????????????
