The democratic party is pushing hard for reparations. What if a deal went through that one could take reparations but then they or their families we unable to vote again, ever? That might stop the democrats from pushing this as an issue.

I don't understand why more people don't get this. There isn't a pro-reparations person alive that isn't already voting democrat. Dems have nothing to gain and everything to lose from this if they make it part of their platform.

Here is a link describing the top democratic presidential candidates. Reparations

Most of them already gave their word to Al Sharpton at his NAN conference in front of press. Al and his NAN demand reparation pledges

You should get your facts straight if you don't think the democrats are pushing hard for reparations.

The only form of reparations I'd support would be a $5,000 and one way plane ticket back to Africa with a lifetime ban from returning to America. Anyone that chooses to stay can stfu.

Anyone who takes it should have their citizenship renounced and get a one way ticket to Monrovia, Liberia.

Blacks will benefit more financially from 6 more years of a Trump economy than any reparations check.

How about this for an option – a one-way first class plane ticket back to Africa and you can never return, even to visit.

All the money ever generated from slavery was lost during the civil war.

The cost of the civil war was many times the wealth generated by the slave trade.

That doesn't even remotely count that 300k whites gave up their lives to free the 3 million slaves.

Reparations already in place for generations.
Amount determined by size of family.
Payed at the beginning of every month.

It was called affirmative action. It failed.

As in all things, I wonder why this needs to be a national collectivist program.

If you believe you owe reparations, you personally pull out your checkbook and make it happen. Don’t force others who don’t believe they owe reparations to participate.

You pay for your own false guilt. I have nothing to do with it.

The Democratic party has one idea with many excuses. The one idea is to take money from everybody. The many excuses are social security, medicare, “free” college, the obamacare mandates, reparations, etc.
