Reparations? What???

Sadly the DNC already was lucky, as Rev. Perryman's exhaustively researched lawsuit on systemic racial discrimination was never heard.

Based on these findings, I sent the attached (April 5, 2004) letter to the DNC requesting that they issue an apology to African Americans. In 2005, I sent a second letter to the DNC, again requesting an apology. When the DNC ignored these requests, I filed my first lawsuit on December 10, 2005. Prior to my letters, members of the Congressional Black Caucus sent former Congressman JC Watts the letter below (on January 28, 1999). In that letter the Caucus told Mr. Watts and his Republican counterparts t“Clearly and publicly distance themselves from the CCC and any other white supremacist, anti-semitic or hate groups….” In my letter to the DNC, I expressed similar sentiments. I told the DNC “An apology is one of the only ways modern-day Democrats can distance themselves from the party’s racist past while bringing some closure to the African American Community.” Instead of apologizing, Howard Dean hired one of the most powerful law-firms in the country, to defend the party’s racist past.

Without an apology and repentance there is no way the Democratic Party can ever sincerely honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ms Rosa Parks; two individuals who literally gave their lives to destroy the racist programs, policies and practices that were established by the Democratic Party. And without an apology and repentance there is no way the Democratic Party can ever respect African Americans. Their past programs and practices from slavery through Jim Crow which literally destroyed the lives of millions of blacks, was an act of mass murder. And to hire an attorney to defend that racist past is not only an official endorsement of murder - it is an insult to the entire black race and to those whites who gave their lives to eliminate racial injustice.

You mean as opposed to living in some shithole American ghetto?

Or, they could have stayed and contributed to making Africa great, instead of making the beds of their rapists and murderes for generations.

Uhh.....no

Bullshit!

No precept of American nor even English common law calls out retribution for the sins of the fathers upon the sons.

You're fucking crackers!

The slaves have been dead for a century. At the height of slavery 1.5% of Americans owned slaves. The most equitable reparation would be providing transportation to all the kings and queens who’s great great great great great great grandparents were unfairly sold by their tribes and brought here. I’m sure those suffering by living here today against their will would love to give back their Nike’s and Obama phones for a nice dung covered walking stick.

Amen to that!

You didn’t, but chances are your family did. Or maybe just rented. No matter the actual connection, the country as a whole benefited from slavery. So unless you want to suggest that slavery is ok, I’d stop where you are. This isn’t a party issue. They’re are no sides in this. America benefited from slave labour. Or to put in your language, extreme selective communism. Do you support that? That people only exist to serve the state? Are you a red?

An actually relevant question - BRAVO!

Thousands of American Indians are now in line to receive part of a $3.4 billion settlement with the federal government, ending a long-running dispute over government mismanagement of tribal lands and accounts.[/i]

The deal follows a class-action lawsuit, filed in 1996, which accused the U.S. Department of the Interior of failing to account for and provide revenue from a trust fund representing the value of Indian assets managed by the government.
The missing funds at the center of the class-action case involve what are called Individual Indian Money accounts, which are supposed to represent the property of individual Indians. The accounts are held by the United States as trustee.
[i]The lawsuit had accused the government of failing to account for the money, failing to make proper payments, and converting tribal money for the government's own use.

"It's not fair," Cobell said then of the long process to reach a settlement, but "in the future we may be treated more fairly."
The agreement calls for $1.5 billion to be distributed among those who were part of the lawsuit.
Another $1.9 billion will go into a "land consolidation program" that will allow people to sell fractions of land they own, which are slivers of once larger ancestral plots that have been divided and subdivided over generations.


Rather an apples and oranges comparison, ergo a functional non sequitur as far as slavery reparations are concerned, do I need to bold the REASONS why for you or will italics suffice??

So is the "its a conspiracy" card. Do you have any arguments that arnt "whataboutism"? Im guessing not.

I know something that can end this crapola right now. Make a law where only people who pay taxes can vote. It would destroy over half of the Democrap voter base in one night.

Make the illegals pay too, fair is "fair"...right?

Oh and LGBTQs get sex discrimination reparations, but it goes back to slavery descendants = moot payment.

Straight out of the chute, FAIR assumes that there are only 12.5 million illegal immigrants in the country, approximately the same number we’ve been told for the last 15 years as we impotently watched hundreds of thousands more stream across our border, year after year after year.

The 12 million figure is based on the self-reports of illegal aliens to U.S. census questionnaires. (Hello! I’m from the federal government. Did you break the law to enter our country? Now tell the truth! We have no way of knowing the answer, and if you say yes, you could be subjecting yourself to immediate deportation.)

More serious studies put the number considerably higher. At the low end, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale study last year put the number of illegals at 22 million. Yet Bear Stearns investment bank had it at 20 million back in 2005, and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporters Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele reported in 2004 that 3 million illegals were crossing each year — so simple math would put it at well over 60 million today.

So, right there, the FAIR study underestimates the tab for illegal immigration by at least a factor of three, meaning the real cost is about $350 billion a year. That’s triple what Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) free college tuition plan will cost in a decade.
