According to Sheila Jackson Lee, more than 150% of black children live in poverty.
I can't even laugh at that.
Oh, and she lived as a slave for over 250 years. She looks great for her age.

The issue of reparations is to be debated by the US house panel today.
How much would it take to make things right?
You mean like an entity, in this case the government, forcibly taking monies from the fruits of one's labor and redistributing it to another person/group who did not earn it? Gosh reparations sure sound a lot like slavery to me. Two wrongs make things right in your book?

By the way, this is what you get when you allow the Democrats to have power. These little side shows displaying the abject stupidity of the left...

My answer is that it would at least be ethically defensible to pay Jim Crow reparations. There are millions of living Americans who were directly, severely impacted. shite, we paid the Japanese off for WWII internment camps - I actually don't think that was warranted at all. Reagan signed off on that shite 30 years ago.
what happens in return for reparations? no more affirmative action and things of the like?
food for thought?

Exactly, and in ways I want to see these ideas happen with the ensuing calamity involved from their stupidity to illustrate in reality with "ground truth" of how dumb these ideas truly are, beyond what the media can gloss over and cover up, BUT I care about this country and my fellow citizens too much to want this "learn by example" scenario to really happen.

Serious question for the dumbfricks who support this: who will gather the DNA, do the research, comp!ete the paperwork, and most importantly, exclude all the frauds claiming dey"Gibbsmuh's dats? Liberalism is a pathological disorder of the weak minded and morally bankrupt

I love brining this up. People usually have no idea that there were black plantation owners.

Never thought in my 62 years I would ever see this become a serious issue. The Democrap Party has alienated every non-black American with this bullshite. What the hell has welfare been for the last 55 years? That was stupid enough and actually did more to hurt black Americans as to advancement but all LBJ saw was future votes. Welfare wasn't enough- do you think this will ever stop? As long as there are dumb arse libs feeling guilty, blacks will keep asking for more & more...they will never be satisfied if they can get more for free!

Lol @ Danny Glover. Fool, you are insanely wealthy. How about you, Majoc Johnson, and all of black entertainment folk get together and give your money to some people.

$200,000 per black person with verifiable US slave blood as a one-time payment...
With a revocation of any and all future subsidies from any and all government programs with the exception of Social Security already "earned."

Yea go round up the .09% of the population who had plantations and make them pay. For the other 99.99999% of us gtfo with this stupid shite. Taxing people who’s ancestors never owned a slave and weren’t even in this country until 100 years after the civil war is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. This is nothing but another pathetic scam to try and get a few more votes for the general election. How about you liberals take a look at Mr. Cohen of Tennessee if you want to see a racist. It’s right there in your face, first with the fired chicken now with the “chill, chill, chill during a hearing on capital hill and basically calling that young man an idiot who spoke about being a victim without consent. This is what the left thinks of minorities in general, they’re mocking you to your face.

The sad part about it is that it’s nothing but pandering by Democratic politicians. Even Obama was against it in 2008. That’s how far left these people have gone.
