There was like 30 million white people in the US in 1865.

There's now like 285 million white people in the. Ellis Island alone accounts for 12 million mostly white immigrants coming here.

Point is, in short, a shite ton of white peoples ancestors weren't even here until after slavery was abolished so the theory he's presented is a fallacy in and of itself.

A Vietnamese restaurant in New Orleans got my order wrong once. I'll gladly accept your reparation payment on their behalf.

Since I descend from white slave owners and black slaves, I guess I'll call it even.

That is misleading the bill is to study how it could be done. Trust the people for LA these studies don't mean it is happening.

The U.S. in 1988 paid reparations to survivors of Japanese internment camps during World War II, giving each person $20,000.

Good anyone alive who is a survivor of slavery can get the equivalent of $20,000 in today’s value. Where can I sign up?

While we’re talking to the African American community about reparations, my dad would like his lawnmower back

If individual states want to pass reparations bills and pay it out of purely state funds, go for it.

Wut ?? Oh you mean you didn’t realize there was Chinese slaves brought in the US to build the California railroads? You probably didn’t know about that because they don’t sit on the porch and collect free handouts while shooting the pistol sideways. They decided to rise up and make something of theirselves versus playing the woe is me card and looking for a free handout.. you will never break that mentality in some people.

The most disgusting part about these things: they already build in the goalpost shift in the proposal. As expensive as that is, it’s not making amends.

It’s a “START.”

frick him and frick that. I don't owe anybody shite, I wasn't around for any of that. He should start paying and apologize for making a fortune off his people. Better yet, he should show them how he did it.

They have been getting reparations in the form of welfare and other government benefits for 50 years and the result is the screwed up situation we have in Democrat managed inner cities.
