reparations Topic

not sure how that would work but i have some thoughts
  • it sounds like a big class action suit. those things usually end up with a slap on the wrist of the perp and a dollar off coupon in the mail to the victims
  • if someone does have to pay, let it be the slave states
  • if africans win will they in turn have to hand over their coupons to natives

Why should the Africans have to pay the Natives? They weren't here of their own volition.

Whitey should pay both and give up some land

I like bags idea about only the Southern States paying. I have heard all about the "New South" for years and I say "Bullshit". The south is still the land of the under educated racist red necks. And the next time I hear some one say "ya all" I am going to puke on their shoes.

I LOVE that last pic. Makes me giggle every time. Besides, I haven't seen the cousins in too long.......................
It's good to see Jim Bob and Gym Bob looking so swell.

As for reparations. I say nuts to that idea. The whole idea is criminally mentally retarded.
The perps who did the crime are long ago dead. Besides that, back then, everybody that could afford it had a slave or three.
Kit Carson had at least one. Narbona and other Navajos had some. Rico New Mexicans had theirs. Same with the Texans and the Mexicans.

Hellsfire, slave raiding was a common practice ON ALL SIDES during the mid 1800's in New Mexico Territory.
Who you gonna pay? and WHY?

It's an eternally stupid idea. A perfect example of HOW the dems lose elections.
Pushing stupidity such as this.

You want to pay reparations for something?
How about starting with the descendants of those OUR Gov't actually implemented extermination policies upon?
There's more than a few tribes that fall into that category!
Or, better yet, how about those tribes that STILL HAVE valid treaty's guaranteeing them land we have subsequently stolen (back!)?
(Talk about "Indian Giving")
Let's start by giving the Chiracahua Apache back their reservation beginning with 99% of the Coronado National Forest.
Then we'll start confiscating private property to return to the tribe.

On sentiment, I'd love to. Common sense tells me otherwise.
The whole concept would NEVER fly.

On it's face, it's just as stupid as the reparations idea.
It won't FLY!
A Divisive waste of time and a way to lose elections by looking needlessly communistic/socialistic/big government driven.
A HUGE give to the criminal POTUS!

Reparations are pointless. Life still sucks for African Americans not because they were put at a disadvantage, but because life still is discriminatory against them on a daily basis.

slavery was a holocaust.....and it was followed by more hell.
i am totally in favor of official reparations with a strong government statement and condemnation and monetary apology.
the sooner the better.

Kamala Harris has to pay reparations as a former slave owner.

Barack Obama doesn't get a dime because he's not official slave blood.

Now we have to pay for it. Figure out what 40 acres and a mule was then deduct the cost of the research and legal costs and have all the reparation folks send a check to the US gov't to cover the cost. YOU'RE WELCOME!
