The world is a mess. So basically all we need is fully automated luxury communism. To get that, you have to run for Congress and win!

The Civil War wasn't about slavery, FFS........

Tell you what, make you guys a deal... Tax me an extra $1,000 this year, call it "reparations" and distribute it how you want.

But then, for all time going forward, any and all talk of how we are racists ends, totally and completely. You don't get to play that card anymore, you don't even get to hint that it's in the deck.

Deal?

Do blacks get a discount on their own reparations for blacks also owning slaves?

re: my original reply in the thread... case in point:






So let's review... because a successful black man (wannabe honky!) says he does not desire to be a victim, nor be made one without his consent, he is a race traitor who is basically white. An Uncle Ruckus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Ruckus). Doesn't understand "people of color" (read: low brow culture which even actual sub-saharan Africans view with disdain).

This amounts to nothing more than virtue signaling and kicking up racial strife. They know it will never pass the Senate and would get veto'd. Perfectly safe for Dems to display their racism in Congress (and no one can argue that selective application of any law isn't inherently racist because that's been settled).

They are doing this because Trump has made yuge progress in the black community. Black folks are starting to realize economic mobility and this is the most dangerous thing for Dems because people who are self-sufficient and successful don't need a massive gov to provide for them or keep their perceived opponents down. Which is why Trump won't let them write these checks, it undoes everything he's been working on for the 2.5 years.

This, along with the Dems love affair for illegals (replacing blacks), spells trouble. A one-time payout doesn't erase the past and we all know it won't be invested in families/communities, it would just be squandered.

True, but it put an end to it here in the US.

There is no coincidence that this hearing was on Juneteenth. It's leftist orchestration. I never thought I'd see the day that Democrats are trying to pin racism on the Republican party. I guess it's one of the reasons why revisionist history is a 'thing'.

Is this an attempt by the Dems to keep blacks on the 'political plantation'?

I fully support some financial compensation for anyone who was actually a slave before/during the Civil War and is currently alive.

No deal. Fuck 'em. Because they will NOT play by the rules.
