Anonymous Coward User ID: 78821193 United States 02/25/2022 10:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reparations bill for Black Americans (that would not include me as I am a Black immigrant) has light at the end of the tunnel. Quoting: Haitian Born [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] “This has been a 30-plus year journey,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas). “We had to take a different approach. We had to go one by one to members explaining this does not generate a check.” So No MONEY to the individual, the government will have a fund to line their pockets, I mean use to improve communities ???? The commission would hold hearings with testimony from those who support and oppose the idea. Jackson Lee said the country would end up better from the process. “Reparations is about repair and when you repair the damage that has been done, you do so much to move a society forward. This commission can be a healing process — telling the truth can heal America,” she said. OR when some communites are allowed to falter and others are given special treament it will create more strife and conflict |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81887851 United States 02/25/2022 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who is going to pay? My family is of immigrants that were not here when this went down. So who is responsible? Quoting: Orelinde1954 I believe the federal gov' will with collected taxes. It's the same way the feds give money to Israel without asking our permission. It is this power that will allow them to doll out the reparations on tax payer's dime. Actually this isn’t true. Congress votes on it every year. This Congress is out next year. You don’t think a Republican sweep will happen? Adios repetitions. You do vote for shit. We all do. It’s called representative government. But if they can cram it thru Congress just once and if Biden would sign it, we could be stuck with it. Even if the R's take over in 2023, they would be too woke to overturn it, and I doubt Biden would sign a bill to end it after just signing a bill to start it. I guess the Senate would stop it now, because a whiteout (white people deciding not to give a fuck anymore) would really expose the rest including blacks. Hard to see Manchin or Sinema supporting this garbage. |

Quoting: Haitian Born [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] It’s almost election time they need votes Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! It won't work this time though - Blacks were disproportionately affected by the vaccine mandates and know very well which party was doing all of the pushing and coercing. The Dems will be voted out this Fall. |

And we can pay reparations to native Americans to by giving them money and all their land back, then give Mexico their land back too. Maybe even Alaska for shits-and-giggles. :clownworld!: |

Quoting: VinoSom Anthony Johnson was the first slave owner in America, Virginia to be specific. He was a black African. The history books and woke culture will never teach you this. He owned both black and white slaves. He was also the one responsible for making slavery legal in the Virginia colony.

Because they're holding the money to be used for this? We need less federal investment in communities, less thumbs on the scale. Everyone can have their own communities, and pay for them. White communities are not great because of federal investment but because of the residents building a nice place for themselves. |

Quoting: Haitian Born [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] No. They would have to identify who is actually descended - not just hand out money for dark brown skin - can you imagine they would have to DNA identify and track them from arrival, sale, decedent's - etc. You are talking about a group they insist can't even figure out how to get a voter id. This is just a hot talk topic. A fire with no oxygen will not continue to burn. Everyone gets emotionally excited about the FIRE. Meanwhile there really is no fuel. |

Black people have been used and abused by TPTB to push their agenda for generations. White people are a minority on a global scale, yet responsible for 99.9% of civilization and technology and quality of life improvements. This is bad news for Americans, but hey - if TPTB can steal an election in front of the world, they can do whatever they want. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80347018 It's bait to fool the blacks into voting Demonrat in the 2022 elections. Demonrats were the party of slavery, and they continue to encourage the blacks to commit genocide (Planned Parenthood abortions) and they keep fooling the blacks to continue living on their plantation (the Demonrat Party). Less than 2% of the white population owned slaves. There will be no "reparations", it's a ploy. Yep. Just like Xiden promised 'free college tuition' to everyone that voted for him. Hahahahaha. Yeah.

They had plenty of time to push it along with paying off student debt and haven't made even one move, but now that election time is coming up, they are back to dangling it like a carrot in front of the black voters trying to sucker them in again. If they vote them in then, it will go back to the back burner, while they push bills that give them more graft.
