DummyRATs to spend $12 MILLION to study reparations

[Jmac00]

anyone got an extra 12 million laying around

Nearly 180 Democrats support forming $12 million, 13-member slavery reparations commission

The White House said the president supports the legislation to set up a commission to "study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery."

Study them? Is there a test?

Finally I'll be off the hook since my ancestors weren't in the country during slavery.

So when do I get my "does not have white privilege" card?

$ 12 mil? I'm disappointed. Thought it would be much more. Wait.....it will be more. My bad.

They should just give me the 12 million. Here’s the breakdown. 20% will use the money to better themselves, 20% will drink it away, 20% will smoke it away, 20% will buy a hooptie of a car, and the other 20% will buy clothes and gold chains. Why don’t we just help the 20% and save the rest of the money.

so ...

United Negro College Fund
Black History Month
Affirmative Action

Which bunch of "non-profit" grifters will get that money to come up with the answer of "yes".

 

[Shadow2]

I can give them the answer for only 2 Cents. If you where a slave your allowed to get reparations from your master. Last time I looked government cant be held accountable for the crimes of others. My great grandparents didn't land on these shores until 40-50 years after slavery ended. I DON"T OWN YOU A FUCKING DIME! I will however like all my stolen socialist program money back. I have all the documentation of the theft.

Since we're settling 200 year old debts...

When will I be compensated for my ancestors who gave their lives to free those slaves.

Their ancestors owed my ancestors, so I want my cut....

So, I've been thinking about this some more.

If you look at the massive racial disparity in welfare recipients, it seems like we *have* payed trillions in reparations already.

So, if we do one final round, can we then demand those programs institute racial quotas (like they do for schools and jobs) to ensure "equity" ?

Since one race is only 13% of the population, they should only get 13% of the benefits, right ? Isn't that the whole theory affirmative action is based on ?

"Sorry, you meet the requirements, but we don't have enough white people in the program so we're going to have to send your food stamps to this middle class white guy instead..."

that’s a very good point. Neither were mine

I was about to say the same thing. My ancestors fought and bled on battlefields all over the south to free the slaves and preserve the Union. By their logic myself and my descendants should all be getting a check of some sort in perpetuity.

What I also find amusing is that we have $12 million to study this and I'm sure the study will find that we need to spend millions if not billions more in reparations. I say just divvy up the $12 million to everyone who claims slave ancestors and then have them STFU.

I see your point, but I really don't think I'd count the Confederates towards that tally.

The Irish immigrants to this country were discriminated against terribly. Where’s my reparations?

In many cases worse than the Africans.

The Irish were cheaper to replace.

I read posts here and elsewhere that say...
"My family was not here in America during the time of slavery.
Or... My ancestors fought and died trying to free the slaves and preserve the Union.

My story is a little different.

My family WAS here during the time of slavery.
They also lived in the cotton belt of South Carolina and Georgia at that time.
As far as I know none of them owned slaves. That was for the rich land owners.

At least 5 of my ancestors did fight with one of the South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiments.
And at least 3 of my ancestors did fight with one of the Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiments.
They fought to repel Lincoln's invading army during the War of Northern Aggression.

So yeah, my story is different than most... Just sayin'

I still do not owe any black person anything...
Slavery ended in December of 1865... 156 ish years ago... *99 ish* years BEFORE I was born.

Hey, if you owe reparations, imagine how much Kamala Harris owes.

Her family really *did* own a crapload of slaves.

 

[GOPerfect]

All that were slaves are long dead.

A teenager today was not a slave, his father and grandfather were not enslaved.

His great grandfather was not a slave.

His Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

You would need to go back SIX generations to possibly find an enslaved relative.

Herschel Walker tells Congress Black Americans shouldn’t get reparations
