Appeasement never ends...ever. Hitler wanted Poland to appease him, Neville Chamberlain appeased him, and on it went. You either want to be in this country or you need to find some other place to your liking. Remember they ONLY want to rid themselves of confederate statues.

You realize that if this ever takes place the Dems lose a campaign leg right? They don’t wish to solve or act on any of this so let them posture.

Been paying reparations since the great society programs of the 1960’s.

I don't think he's completely ignorant of history but ignorant of how the legal process works and the basics of why some people in theory could be owed reparations for taking of property and life.

What he is doing is setting up a strawman... "hey guys, look Japanese Americans were paid for improperly being held captive". Than he is using that to say the United States would owe money for any type of discrimination even if it was legal at the time. However, the fact is those people the government actually took something from them.

During WWII the Japanese Americans were put in camps and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness was taken from them, it was deem legal then but probably would be illegal today, the Supreme Court has mentioned it as well.

Than he compares that to a benefit or say employment that a black person may or may not have received with the federal government. Just because some might have been not allowed into some government programs doesn't mean they would have entered into the programs anyway. And its very possible they would have been eligible for many of the programs in mass. Lets not forget there were black programs as well and under his stupid theory, non-whites should get reparations for not getting those benefits. I guess everyone has a claim as woman were excluded as well.

What he is talking about is nonsense as far as context, really setting up a strawman. If A = C, than B = C... this is nonsense... the facts are not the same with A and B, to say C should happen.

What happened to the Japanese Americans in WWII is not the same thing that happened to blacks, the Japanese Americans was a clear taking of life, liberty and property... and the rights to use their property.
