GET READY: New Congress Will Look Into ‘Reparations’ for ‘Descendants of Slaves’

Your head is going to spin from all of the stupid shit they will try to do.

 

[@thewheels]

So the 22 trillion plus we've spent since 1964 doesn't cover it. Huh.

FU Jackson Lee.

Good. The UK owes me money too then, I'm part Irish.

The cajuns had their houses and property taken by the Crown in 1755 and were put on ships from the province of New Brunswick ( next to Maine) and deported to what is now Louisianna.
Where are their reparations?

The GOP should counter sue the Dems for any damages incurred since the democrats are the ones who pushed for slavery and tried to succeed over it. That would make for some awesome headlines heading into the 2020 election.

Is there a precedent to sue a party over the damages caused by their policy? Sounds fun, but what a cluster it would be.

I fully expect the mechanics of actually giving reparations would be virtually if not entirely impossible to implement; who gets what and how much, how black do you need to be, etc. It's just more divisive shit from democrats to garner votes from whichever sort of idiot supports this kind of plan.

Teach a man to fish. Minority groups given special treatment for past injustices do not, in my view, benefit from this treatment whatsoever. Exhibit A: native americans.

 

[togmaster]

More free shit...love it!

 

[tirwin1]

This is in response to Trump's improving favorability among african-americans. If the democrats lose their lock on the black vote they know they are in serious trouble. Hence they will go out of their way to pander to this part of the population. Shameful but predictable.

Now folks ...
According to the bill, officials would look for posts or searches with threats, mentions of terrorism, profane slurs or biased language used to describe race, color, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. If authorities found anything, the pistol permit would be denied.

We must watch what one says from now ... or no guns for you .... Biased language against reparations ....6 months ago we would all laugh at this... now I believe it will be serious ..

Technically the European nations brought the slaves here, let them pay.

 

[Bigfoot]

Umm...


Union army dead, amounting to 15 percent of the over two million who served, was broken down as follows:

• 110,070 killed in action (67,000) or died of wounds (43,000).
• 199,790 died of disease (75 percent was due to the war, the remainder would have occurred in civilian life anyway)
• 24,866 died in Confederate prison camps
• 9,058 killed by accidents or drowning
• 15,741 other/unknown deaths
• 359,528 total dead

In addition there were 4,523 deaths in the Navy (2,112 in battle) and 460 in the Marines (148 in battle).





THEY GET NOTHING!

 

[av8r]

They're losing their base and have no idea what to do other than what they always do...throw money at it.

Anything to divide the republic, keep the masses frothing at the mouth. Democrats should be hung by the neck.

[MadScientist]

My earliest ancestors in this country were from Lithuania and they weren’t here until around the 1930s. I also had a great great grandparent immigrate around then. My family lineage had nothing to do with slavery, they were peseant farmers in Europe decades after slavery was abolished here. Why should I have to pay reparations? I had nothing to do with slavery

 

[99cummins]

So what about the rampant slavery around the world currently? Ignoring that? If you want to actually do something good about slavery, you might want to address current day problems instead of taking money from people that had nothing to do with slavery and giving it to people that were never slaves.

 

[Steal2B]

Nothing new. Members of the Caucus have worked on legislation and held forums on black slavery reparations for many years, in fact decades. Since 1989, Conyers started a big push with bills / forums and he introduced legislation for reparation issues in each new Congress following Reagan. Now that Conyers left in 2017 after sexual harassment allegations, it looks like Lee is picking up his mantle.

 

[GOPerfect]

Wow, I could talk about this all day. But, on an open forum, I must hold my tongue!

 

[Acer-m14]

wounder how much the Indians on the reservations are going to get .. technically there still in slavery IMHO

same the Jackson Lee followers .. they sat on there ass and do nothing also now beggin for payday ..

 

[Grimscale]

Fine.

if they want me to pay reparations to descendants of slaves, then I first get to enjoy having a slave.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I deserve reparations for having my ancestors FIGHTING in the civil war to free them. Where's my compensation.


F that.

 

[Bob]

With the welfare state that we've created, the US Government is the largest slaveholder in the world. They've manufactured laziness and stupidity, and they steal MY money to give it to the people who have become dependent upon their 'generosity.'

Where are MY fucking reparations?
