Slavery reparations - The dem's plan to win in 2020

Trump looks better everyday;


"The question of slavery reparations for black Americans was the subject of a fiery and emotional House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday as Democrats called for measures to address America’s “original sin” -- while Republicans described such payments as an “injustice” and “almost certainly unconstitutional.”

But why stop here? Were any of your ancestors Jewish, Irish or Italian? If they were, you know they were discriminated against, you should be able to cash in too. Let's pay up and then all of America's sins will be magically washed away.

I am not in favor of reparations.

But the way you trivialize the history of how African's were forcibly brought to this country in a slave trade by comparing it to voluntary immigration has me reconsidering. I mean, yeah, it is almost the same thing, right?

I don't mean to trivialize slavery. I think the idea of reparations is absurd. Clear enough?

This is not something I would support. It is not something I benefited from nor were responsible for. It is a losing issue in an election.

What about going after those who brought them here like French, Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese etc? Demand reparations from them too. There is money to be made. Also, don't forget the African chiefs who sold their people or in other way cooperated with slave traders. There is money to be made there too. And why limit the reparations to good ol' US? South America is full of slave descendants. Of course, there is slavery in Asia and within Africa but those are not as cool as going after America. Yeah, baby, there is money to be made.

It is amazing how easy it is NOT to trivialize slavery...yet... you felt the need to go there to make your point. Don't worry I am sure many will make the same point...something about ignorance and company?

Meanwhile, former NFL player and conservative author Burgess Owens pointed to the Democratic Party as historically responsible for injustices against black Americans, from slavery to the Ku Klux Klan to the literacy rates for black Americans in Democratic states and cities.
"How about the Democratic Party pay for all the misery brought to my race, and those who after they learn our history decide to stay there ... and every white American, Republican or Democrat that feels guilty because of their white skin should need to pony up also -- that way we can get past this reparation and recognize that this country has given us greatness," he said.

 I'm starting to think the Dems want a civil war. Slavery was practiced by Native Americans long before the Europeans came along. So is this America's "original sin" or are we only counting when whites owned slaves?

On one hand there is not any sense at all in reparations. On the other hand we also know that minorities were systematically excluded from accumulating wealth for a very long time. On another hand laws have been in place for decades to prevent that. On another hand we know those laws have been repeatedly ignored in a lot of areas for a very long time. On another hand that seems to have become much more rare over time.

We also know that the most vile racists found a home in both parties and in all walks of life through the 60's.

Even if you did think they were 'deserved', I don't think you could implement reparations in any way that would actually address the claimed concerns

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Wow. How exactly did you get wanting a civil war out of this?

And are you seriously suggesting that the Native Americans, who the US Government systematically removed from their lands and took over control of those lands, are *checks notes* responsible for the slavery of Africans?

Wow. Strong play there.

JSA this really isn't that hard. Tell your black friends that the problem with reparations is that it would require compensating Irish immigrants. See how that goes over with them. There are a hundred reasons why reparations are untenable. That isn't one of them. And for that matter neither is, "because that would be blacks cashing in."

I seem to have touched a nerve with you. I have no idea why.

How Exactly would this work? Who decides how much each person gets and where does it come from? Does each person with African American ancestry get the same percentage or is different based upon lineage?

Anyone in favor of reparations for slavery has to not only ignore US history where over 600,000 soldiers died in a war to end slavery, they have to ignore World history where slavery existed long before slaves were ever brought to America and continued to exist after the US outlawed slavery. In the 1700's if you had a big boat and you wanted to go into the African slave trade, you went and bought slaves. Guess who you bought them from, right, you bought them from other Africans.

So if anyone owes black Americans anything because of slavery, it's the African slave countries where their ancestors came from.

Democrats, please don't go down this road. You will lose half of the voters who want to vote for you.
