Reparations- the death knell of the Democrat's 2020 election

[tigrers2019]

With the take over of the entire Executive branch of our government and the take over of half (Republican) of our Legeslative branch, what on earth do these Democratic Presidential candididates do? They bring up a totally regressive issue. An issue that is surely to cause Democratic voters to stay home. It makes me wonder if these candidates were being controlled by the Russians just as their Republican brothers and sisters.

Instead, they should have been discussing Impeachment Inquiries, and would have had the very old and frail Polosi had not been confronted by the Kremlin.

I think Democrats should push reparations for black folk.
How about $1,000,000 per person?

So they can empower Trump when it doesnt happen? Which is the reality we live in. "Cant indict a sitting president" says Mueller, "totally exhinerated of all wrong doings" says the Republicans. Its a lost cause unless Dems can win Congress next year.

Funny how reparations for slavery always comes up around election time.

That would be $‭42,000,000,000,000‬

That's a lot of money to print.

Sure, why not. Any living former slave deserves a million bucks.

Think of how many Middle Eastern countries we could invade and occupy with that!

We have big presses, & paper is cheap.

Candidates wouldn't lie about that.
Why, just look at legislation they've proposed to.....uh....never mind.

Slavery supposedly ended in 1865. At that time there were 36 states. The state's of those 36 states that had slavery, should pay every person that was a slave a settlement... But those slaves have to be here to sign for it.

Sounds fair to me.
Also, my entire family didn't even come down out of the
trees, & move to Ameristan until well after the Civil War.
Our only sins are being white & Asian.
So we should get a discount.

What's going to be next , reparations to Hispanics that came here, worked and were under paid for the last 100 or so years?

Women & indians are next in line.

"it's too expensive" seems like a ****ty reason to deny people justice

Is money really ever justice though, or just sweeping problems under the rug?

My great-great-great grandfather fought on the Union side in the Civil War. However, I had a great-great-great uncle who fought on the Confederate side.

But then again, whatever wealth there might have been in the former Confederate states was all looted and plundered by Yankee carpetbaggers and scalawags. So, I guess the Yankees should have to pay.

Native Americans/American Indians already get it. That's how they are opening casinos in many places. Especially here in Oklahoma.

Yep. Women will be in that line next since they were held back and mistreated.

Like @Revoltingest said, women will be wanting it next. They were held back and mistreated as much as anyone.
