I fully expect that when Democrats get back in power they the government will levee a tax on white people annually that will be payed to blacks annually in the form of a tax deduction. That is how crazy this stuff is getting.

My guess is lifetime social security for anybody who isn’t white. They will then go after 401K plans to offset those massive losses.

47 % of our voting population will gladly support this. That leaves just 3% to convince to go along with it.

Our country is literally being controlled by 3% of our population who don’t know where they stand on political issues.

Democrats need to keep talking about reparations because it’s will only help republicans.

So if I refuse to pay it because history tells me my family were sharecroppers and never owned slaves?

. That used to be the case but with so many illegal immigrants coming in we are at or near the tipping point.

My DNA says 2% Congo!
My family owned slaves and some were slaves. Quite the quandary.

It's easier to promise this and blame Republicans that it doesn't happen rather than institute reparations and have it prove money doesn't solve anything with some communities

Reparations is something that could get people to vote on both sides . Illegals will vote democrat no matter what . But there is a lot of working class white people who don’t currently vote . At some point democrats will take enough of their money and then they will start voting . Democrats are not smart enough to understand everything they do to get votes is also cost them votes .

How would they go about paying this?

Working black people pay taxes too,so would they pay themselves?

Would they send us whiteys a bill expecting us to pay?Good luck with that.

Perhaps a free,one way,ticket back to the homeland would suffice for those who feel put upon.

Who hijacked your account?

I agree that this is completely untenable even if was a good thing to do

Will never happen because it would violate the equal protections clause of the Fourteen Amendment. You can't tax people based on their skin color. Furthermore, it would be a gigantic legal nightmare because you would be attempting to tax or punish people that are nearly 200 years removed from slavery, many who's families immigrated here post civil war, and most who never owned a slaves anyway.

Edit: one other thing, how are you going to punish people retroactively for their ancestors engaging in an activity (buying and selling slaves) that was 100% legal until the emancipation proclamation?

I'm not paying for something I didn't do to someone who didn't suffer it, makes zero sense and likely implicates the Equal Protection Clause
