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.

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.

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.

Weed should’ve legalized across the board first, though, so the tax revenues could be realized. It’s the circle of life...

She's just trying to funnel tax payer money to her friends who will then funnel money to her.

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.

Not about reparations. 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.

Not only that, black people who want to work hard and succeed in this country have a lot of advantages others don't.  Affirmative action, easier time getting into a good college, exclusive scholarships, diversity hiring, etc.

All the damned whining is getting old.
