Sheila Jackson Lee reintroduces bill to benefit African Americans
In her first act of the 117th Congress, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) this week reintroduced legislation that would fund a commission to study and develop proposals for providing reparations to African Americans. "The commission shall examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies," Legislation H.R.40 reads. “This is one of the best ways to make good on their promise to attack systemic racism and white supremacy and elevate the economic and social condition of Black people.” It's unclear at this time exactly how much a reparations package would cost. https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Sheila-Jackson-Lee-reparations-slavery-Texas-15870247.php |

I have a dream, that one day, all people will be judged by the color of their skin, not by the content of their character...

That silverback looking motherfucker should demand reparations from his parents for making a baby that fucking ugly.
|
|
It’s a shame blacks don’t think they are equal and capable of being successful.
|
|
Don't need an expensive study, but I agree with her.
Anyone that was a slave themselves should get paid by the actual person that owned them. |
|
I've got some used toilet paper I'd make available for pick up to her.
|

I look for people of color to get a "special" stimulus payment, whitey need not apply.

Is kumala paying reparations to over 200 documented slaves her family owned in Jamaica?
didn't think so |
|
I am sure the money will be spent on education to help get better jobs.
What does GD think the money will get spent on Large Screen TV's or New Cars? I am betting the TV's and Cars will be what 99% of the money will go to |

Worst congress ever.
The 117th will make the 77th look smart. |
|
She Jac is cray cray and stupid as a brick but she smells blood in the water and wants to get some.
|
|
Bless your heart if you think this will not happen. Left is in the driver seat, we all will be paying!
|
|
Joe's and Kamala's family's owned slaves. Start with their wallets first please.
|
|
Pass a bill that is, on its face, unconstitutional? Yep sounds about right. I guess lefty today is into saying "Fuck MLK!"
|

10 Trillion dollar loafs of bread for everyone! |

LOL.....Anyone in Vegas taking bets on how long it will be before the filibuster is eliminated? I'd sorta like to get in on it.
All these crackpot ideas out of the House will be getting a vote in the Senate and each one defeated by filibuster. I don't suspect that it will be long before the rules are changed due to Mah Obstruction. |

She's named after 2 great Confederate generals.....
What more does she want? |

There was a counter proposal made by a Republican commentator that honestly made sense in regards the idea of reparations. It was something along these lines:
We'll pay you reparations but in return, going forward, you will agree to STFU after you have blown all the money and have nothing to show for it. You have been paid in full so just go away. Granted they would NEVER agree to that kind of clause so the whole exercise is pointless. |
|
They've been getting them for the last fifty years. It's called welfare, food stamps,etc

It's payback time in some folks minds. |

I propose that any black American that really wants to leave be given $100,000 and a one-way ticket to anywhere in Africa that will take them. In exchange, they renounce their citizenship and they and their descendants will never be allowed to return to the US.

I would be a fantastic commission member. I do hereby submit my salary, payable as 2.5 million dollars, up ftont please. I shall require an intern research staff, due to the complexity of the issue.

Affirmative action, easier time getting into a good college, exclusive scholarships, diversity hiring, etc. All the damned whining is getting old. |
