The only way the libtards can get voters is by offering "free money."

My grandfather was Italian. I'm pretty sure somebody probably called him a dago once.

Where's my money!!?

As a child...I actually heard someone call my grandfather a WOP...

I didnt even know what it meant at the time...lol

Ex-Wife #2 was a WOP. My son is a half Dago Guinie.

Nobody who was a slave is alive. Nobody that owned slaves is alive. There is no one to pay and no one to owe.

I know on one side of my family there was slave ownership. It ended 100 years before I was born and I feel no guilt about it. I am not ashamed of being white.

Does this mean every black person will get a piece, whether they are 1 or 100 y.o.? Just wondering how that will work. Will you have to prove your ethnicity?
Will the Rachel Dolezals of the world get a cut too? Will Ancestry.com be involved? So many questions I have.

What about the reparations that many have already received...welfare, government housing, food stamps, WIC, financial aid…etc. Can we deduct that from what is proposed?

I would add having the opportunity to live in America to that list also..

Thats all my Guniea Wop Dago grandparents asked for ...

 

[Steeltime]

Ralph Northam is very excited at the prospect

Well given that reparations timeline has no end, every single person in the country could ask for it. Every single culture has been conquered or enslaved.

I suppose the Jewish community are owed the most. Not only did they spend thousands of years enslaved to the Egyptians, they also faced extermination by the Germans.


If you look at everything they've been focused on since day one, actual hard working Americans are dead last.

Just wait until they ramp back up weaponizing federal agencies against political dissenters. All that is going on now is a ramp up of what Obama started. They're going at break neck speed with little to no resistance.

 

[Booted]

I'll gladly pay out reparations on one condition.

After they all get their money, they have to shut the **** up once and for all. Mo more guilt trips, no more blameing your life on the man. No more victimhood . Now that we're all squared up , you have move past slavery for good
Can't bring it up anymore . Can't use it as an excuse anymore. If they agree to that, them I'm all for paying reparations. But we know they'll never give up their crutch. So no. No reparations.

 

[Supersteeler]

My Mom's side of the family is Irish. Hopefully I will be compensated generously in the upcoming reparations sweepstakes.

While he did inherit great hair I wouldn’t go as far as saying that’s the better half. He only made it 5 foot 10.

Germany paid Israel "reparations." It was a pitance, but it was paid.

This whole thing is so retarded. I am only in favor of actual slaves getting the money, and only from actual slave owners. Ancestor stuff is stupid.

All this stuff is going to be the cause of the break up of the union. At least, I hope it is.

I even disagree with that. We are judging the actions of 200+ years ago based on modern standards and current ideologies. The US is NOT the only country to have slavery in our history, it was a global custom of the period. What other historical customs should reparations be paid for? Should all of the decedents of the Salem Witch Trials get reparations? Where do you draw the line. Secondly, why should taxpayers that immigrated here after the abolishment of Slavery have to pay reparations when they obviously never owned slaves? The whole concept and argument is ridiculous and nothing more than ambulance chasing looking for some free money.

I'm reminded of the Dennis Hopper / Christopher Walken Sicilian scene in True Romance.

So, all of the former slaves and former slave owners are dead.

Sorry, was being hypothetical that if a slave/slave owner was alive today. Should have stated that.

 

[Steeltime]

Isn't Biden old enough to have owned slaves? The way he speaks certainly seems consistent with a former slave owner.

Oh not nearly enough from Germany. Egypt owes a lot.



It's in jest mostly. Whenever I hear this bullshit, I think **** off. Debt paid in rivers of blood and destroyed lives. It was called the civil war.

Yet another bill from Sheila Jackson Lee to unify America.

You highlight the genius of the amazing SJL. Some examples:

Asking if the Mars pathfinder had managed to "photograph the flag planted by Neil Armstrong."

“Don't condemn the gangbangers, they've got guns that are trafficked, that are not enforced, that are straw purchased and they come into places even that have strong gun laws. Why? Because we don't have sensible gun legislation.”

“As Members of Congress, we should not be using public office for private gain.”

“I took and received campaign donations under the existing laws.”

“I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.”

“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.”

“Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.”
