Democrat Oregon State Senators Introduce Bill to Pay Black People $123,000 in Reparations | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald

Democrat state senators in Oregon have introduced legislation to pay black Oregonians $123,000 in reparations.

The Daily Wire reports that “according to a copy of the state Senate bill, the government will pay six figures to any person who can demonstrate that they are a descendant of American slaves and have “identified as African-American” on legal documents.”

I was not going to respond due to the absolute fucking stupidity of this.

I believe I have posted this before, I will repeat...


A 16 year old black kid today was NOT a slave.

His father was NOT a slave.

His Grand father was NOT a slave.

His Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather was NOT a slave.

His Great-Great-Great-Great-great Grandfather may have been a slave, maybe not.

These people would need to go back at least six possibly seven or eight generations to show slavery.

This is beyond a joke. Anything that is lacking in any community, especially black Americans is 100% their fault. No one else forces them to be a menace to themselves or their way of life.

How about acting normal; get an education, get a job, take care of the family that you helped create? Stop breaking the laws. Stop selling drugs. Stop being criminals. Stop quitting school. Stop. Stop acting like you are owed something. Stop acting like you are owed anything. You are not.

Seven fucking generations.

Hell, If we all were to trace that far back, I am sure you could find something that others did wrong to your people.

maybe they can all go there to live

And just where does this money come from?

And just where does this money come from?

not from the Slave Owner's taxes

 

[Chicken Shoot]

... and where's the bill supporting a damn REFUND on the slaves someone may have owned?? Adjusted of course to today's value which should be at least .... what's a pro sport player make again?? Door swings both ways MF'ers!!

So is it descendants of slaves, or just descendants of black people?

If I, for example, could show that one of my ancestors (I do have Irish ancestors) were slaves could I get the reparations, or is it only for black people regardless if they were descended from slaves?
And does Oregon have extensive genealogical information on each and every black person in the State to be able to determine which had slave ancestors and which didn't, or are they just blanket giving money to people base don skin color?

 

[dsdmmat]

So they are going to take the money from descendants of former slave owners/ traders? Kamala is not going to be happy about that.

This is just grandstanding. Most people can’t prove slave lineage. It’s all politics as usual. I don’t agree with reparations anyway since I wasn’t even in the USA and it was legal.

This article says on about 50,000 slaves ever existed in the USA. Who knows.

African American Genomes Yield Insight into Slavery Practices

A massive study finds that regional differences in how slaves were treated throughout the Americas are reflected in the DNA of present-day Americans of African descent.

Oregon was not even a ‘slave’ state back then. Maybe they are thinking pro-actively.

The Irish were pretty oppressed back in the early days of this country. Where are my reparations?

----------------------------------

Relevant, but not related: it is wild to see how discrimination changes over time. When my grandfather was courting my grandmother, her father was livid. Why? Because she was of Dutch heritage, and my grandfather was... wait for it... a FILTHY ENGLISHMAN.

But the joke was on my great-grandfather: his wife was actually 1/4 Seneca. No one ever bothered to tell him.

-----------------------------------

Wait wait wait... that means I'm 1/32nd Native American. While it isn't a contest, one could make a pretty strong argument that Native Americans suffered a lot more than African Americans. So can I get double reparations now?

You could out to have no indian in your DNA makeup.

The Irish part is bad enough....

Best part of Ireland is when the Vikings took over that little nation.

Maybe, with all the Irish the Vikings took as slaves, maybe the nations of Scandinavia owes you reparations!!

Exactly the point of all of this. Buying votes literally.

 

[Deplorable Me]

When did Oregon have slaves?

Which side did they fight on in the Civil War?

I'll take anyone of the Swedish bikini team as my reparation

I personally don’t believe in reparations of any kind for Any race but, if any race of people were deserving of reparations it would be the Native American people.

how about California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Hawaii, Delaware and New Jersey to include NYC

 

[nortatoga]

They would need to show ID right??

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

I will not read the article. Is it $123k each or for them all to split?

Time for NIKE to introduce a pair of $123K Sneakers.

Curious? How come?

I still see this as being a potential windfall for everyone. If you're an Oregonian, just say you self-identify as descendant of slaves and get your $123,000 check. Now that's equity if you ask me!

I should tell my daughter. She can pay off her student loans with the windfall.
