Giving Black people 50+ years of Affirmative Action is giving them reparation.

The most interesting thing about that article is that it's on Fox. I didn't see it on the front pages of NBC, ABC, or CBS. So this tells me one thing...

The mainstream media knows this will make Booker and all the rest of the Dems look ridiculous and they're doing the best they can to protect them. Even though it's just a matter of time until it bleeds over on their national platforms and no one can ignore it.

Fox is like "OMG! HEY EVERYBODY! LOOK AT THIS shite!"

It's like the Fox version of when Cocaine Mitch put the Green New Deal to a vote. It's pretty great.

If it means an end to all race based preferences and that I never hear a fricking work about slavery and inequality ever again, it might also be worth it.

That will never happen, unfortunately. It's too lucrative.

1. Would the reparation be paid once to those currently alive or would each generation going forward get reparations?
2. what about the former black slave owners descendants, should they pay or be excluded?
3. would there be a deduction for the percentage of "other blood"?
4 Would there be a deduction for previous welfare payments?
5. Would there be a deduction for the cost of incarceration for those convicted of a felony and sent to prison?
6. Should the reparation be subject to seizure to pay for unpaid child support?

A lot of unanswered questions.


Here's a big one.

7. How much reparations should be paid to the descendants of Union solders who died during the Civil War fighting to free the slaves?

What about black people that had slaves?



Augustin Metoyer family tree is far reaching. What happens for the thousands of descendants that are from black slave owners and black slaves?

8. What about mixed race decedents. At what % does your claim become non-legitamite?
9. What about American Nigerians whose forefathers actually sold black American's ancestors into slavery? Do they have to pay reperations or do they recieve them?

If certain people are still asking for reparations after they were given 50+ years of Affirmative Action to make up for past discrimination against them then I will remind them of the damages done to the families and descendants of the Union soldiers who fought and died during the Civil War to end slavery.

Raising concerns about the logistics of reparations is the whitest thing someone can do.

Blacks dont give two shits about where the money comes from, who's paying it, or how it affects the economy or race relations in general.

They just want dem gibs.

You would also have to look at who will fund this.

Will it be all whites?

Only white males?

Will you have to prove your family did not own slaves?

What amounts are we talking here? Is it like a class action where each claimant will get like net $12 ?

I caught your sarcasm but I wanted to be serious about the people who should really get reparations which every lefty who supports reparations for African-American descendants of slaves forgets to mention.
