I'd like to punch that bitch in the mouth.


No worries, though. After I did it, I would give him $5 and call it reparations.

Can you imagine handing the average shite-for-brains on the street several thousand dollars? White black or any race. That money would be spent on bullshite and do nothing to fix "wealth inequality."

I listen to a lot of black talk radio (Urban View XM 126), and reparations is the hot topic right now for all the hosts, especially Rev Al. It's scary to hear what these fools preach. One of their ideas, since they don't believe there will be cash payouts, is for blacks to be exempt from federal income tax.

Then they had a guy on promoting the N'COBRA website. The National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America if you're interested in a good read.

i just cant see logistically how you could conceivable enact and administer something like this.

would just having "DNA from Africa" qualify you? if so everyone will be paying for a 23 and me DNA test, to show they are of African ancestry

would you have to prove you are descended from a slave? how do you prove this with most data either not kept, lost, or destroyed.

what percentage of our population immigrated tot he US post 1864? how can their tax dollars go toward something their forefathers didnt participate in.

where do you draw the line on reperations, just African slaves, of do you add in native Americans, what about Japanese interment camp detainees from WWII, what about Chinese used for railroad construction in the 1800's,what about poor whites effected by indentured servitude or debtors prison, what about Spanish & Mexicans displaced for the Spanish American war and war with Mexico,

Pandora's box would be open. this is nothing more then a political stunt to 1) paint trump/republicans as racist for not supporting it, and 2) fire up the base with more promises of "free Stuff"

And since when has the government achieved success with an endeavor by just throwing money at it. all you have to do is look at the cash that was handed out post katrina and see the waste...

Cory "Retardacus" Booker


How about a reparation of free plane rides back to where they came from? One way only. If they refuse then they can stfu.

I have a cousin who's been a missionary preacher in Africa for about 35 years. He said that the blacks that come over there "tracing their roots" that stay at least a couple of weeks can't wait to get back to the States once they have seen the deplorable conditions in the vast majority of Africa.

Why are mixed guys like Obama and Booker always the most hardcore on these issues?

I'm sure if reparations were paid we'd never hear another peep about white supremacy, racism, or institutional racism... right?

We don't have to imagine, Dave Chappelle already imagined it for us.

Here’s a deep thought:

Descendants of slaves here in the USA are only here (not just in the US but alive) because of slavery.
