oh well....

The government took slave owners legally owned property, without compensation, so I guess the government should pay the children of those who lost their property. That sounds about as logical as paying people money due to their skin color.

I'm white, my family came here in 1939 as refugees, do I pay? We never had slaves and fled genocide. Who do I pay it to? Do I walk over to my Nigerian neighbor and hand him a twenty or a hundred for my whiteness? Does it matter he's only been a US citizen for six years?

Ah see now it's not just about slavery.....I heard this morning it is also about the "Jim Crow" laws.

Hmmm when do we pay the Chinese for the laws preventing immigration and marrying white people.

When do the western Europeans get paid for the ghetto conditions they were forced to live in.

When do the Indians (India type) get paid because we forced them to open 7/11s, work in tech and win spelling bees

If this is ever a thing, I'll encourage every one I know to file a claim and bog that system down so bad they'll need a time machine to collect!

Um....I would say when the Africans pay up, they had a great deal to do with gathering the slaves.

Hell in some countries they still keep slaves.

Whether or not any money actually changes hands, talk of reparations will reinforce an entitlement mindset already existing among too many blacks.

Exactly...
Stir the pot... Perpetuate the entitlement mindset.
The Democrat socialist politicians think they have to stir them up to get them to vote. It's very destructive.

Seeing as both slavery and Jim Crow laws were instituted by Democrats any reparations should come strictly from the DNC and anyone who votes for democrats.

If we’re gonna talk about reparations, we gotta include more than those two groups.

Juneteenth House Hearing on Slavery Reparations: How to Watch Live

Actor Danny Glover speaks during the "Reparations For Slavery And the Genocide Of Native Peoples" presentation at The Organization of American States on March 29, 2016 in Washington DC.

On Wednesday the topic of slavery reparations will come to Capitol Hill for the first time in more than a decade, signaling the proposal’s growing prominence in political discourse.

Scheduled for the morning of Juneteenth, the U.S holiday commemorating the June 19, 1865, abolition of slavery in Texas and broader U.S. emancipation of African-Americans, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, will hold a hearing to discuss the “legacy of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, its continuing impact on the community and the.... cont.

Compare their net worth vs the average net worth of West Africans.

If they are doing better than West Africans, they are living the American Dream, because that is what they'd be making without Slavery, since they never would have come to America.

Harsh, but true.

Such one party congressional actions are just a remaining legal way to buy votes.

"Vote for me and I'll pay you for it." Trouble is, the Dems have taken the votes of black Americans for many years and not given the promised benefits. . . . . more of the same.

The tribes around here got a couple of billion a few years back. Pissed it all away of course, but they got it, and we paid for it.

I've been of the opinion that Blacks in this country should be glad their pregenitors were brought here as slaves, because they live much better lives as a result. It can be argued that even the slaves themselves, for the most part, lived better here than those left behind in Africa. I'm not making excuses for slavery, because that is wrong, no matter who does it, just noting that the end result in this case was overall beneficial.

Dang. My lineage has Cherokee on my grandfather's side. I haven't got a cent from the Trail of Tears. Where does the trough line start and stop?

Been a lot of scholarship on that issue. One famous story is of black people repatriating to Africa and when arrived, threw their US passports into the sea. Months later, the same people were seen diving in to find their passports to get back to America.

Hey, I know. We could make the illegals pay the reparations. Of course, they had nothing to do with slavery, but then neither does anyone else alive now.

...Just a thought...

President Trump is winning over people in the African American community and the Dems know it. This is a desperate attempt to stem the tide. They need "victims" in order to win votes.

Man nabbed for Bronx rape allegedly said she ‘deserved it’ for ‘slavery’

A black parolee arrested for raping and bashing a white woman on the roof of his Bronx apartment building allegedly told a witness that she “deserved” the brutal attack because of slavery, according to court papers.

“She was a white girl. She deserved it because us minorities have been through slavery,” Temar Bishop, 23, allegedly said to someone who witnessed the bloodied 20-year-old woman after the assaults, according to a criminal complaint.

“This is what they used to do to us. This is what they did to us during slavery. They used to beat us and whip us.”

Temar Bishop, 23, was arrested by authorities on Friday in Virginia on a slew of charges connected to the early morning June 1 assault, which officials have deemed a hate crime, according to authorities.

The 20-year-old met Bishop — who was on parole after serving just over a year behind bars for robbery — around 5 a.m. and joined him on the rooftop of the public housing building on Alexander Avenue near East 137th Street in Mott Haven, police said.

Bishop allegedly punched her repeatedly before raping her, then continued his assault — kicking and punching her in the head and body until she fell unconscious, cops said.

He then fled, but returned with the unnamed witness — who saw the woman “laying on the roof landing with blood covering her face” — and then allegedly made the remarks about slavery, court documents say.

The woman was treated at an area hospital for several injuries, including a broken nose and broken teeth. She was also “vomiting blood,” the complaint states.

Police sources previously told The Post a Special Victims Division investigator described the attack as “one of the worst he’s ever seen.”
