      • Just a quick inquiry here about reparations.

        Where does the money come from to pay these? I'm assuming taxes?

        So, if they come from tax proceeds, and we assume that all working African-Americans pay taxes, aren't they paying their own reparations?

        As far as this racist white guy is concerned, the only reparations I'd even consider supporting would be to Native Americans. I think they have more of a valid case than AA's do. AA's had the option of returning to their homelands after being freed from slavery. Most chose to stay here.

        Native Americans had no such option. It was the reservation or nothing.

          • Well, that was in response to your suggestion that Rs would just go quietly into the night on reparations. They will not.

              The money comes from white businesses and white tax payers.. do you see where this is going.. it will cause more segregation and racial upheaval as white business owners and tax payers will move out of said reparations communities. Leaving a lot of unrest and despondency in its wake.

                • Reparations are not going anywhere. Especially on a national level (even Sen Bernie Sanders would not touch it directly).

                  In California I suspect Gov. Newsom will pull strings behind the scenes to kill it.

                  • They need to find more palatable ways to redistribute wealth...you know...a more fair way to confiscate wealth from the producers to the non-producers...reparations are just a tad too radical...even for the extreme loons...

                          Yes. But I would have thought using a Transgendered Navy Seaperson in a recruiting ad would have been a tad too radical, too.

                          Or encouraging illegal migration of 11-15 million lawbreakers for that matter.

                            • I’m for reparations as long as you meet criteria:

                              The one requirement is that either you or your parents had to be *slaves in a US (or CSA) state that sanctioned it.

                              If you qualify, you get the money. And it is possible that some would collect. So if your father was born to a slave household in early 1865 and he fathered you at the age of 70 (meaning you were born in 1935), then you get some cash. Sure you’re 88 now, but that’s Joe Biden age range.

                              Everyone else does not qualify.

                              (*Chattel slavery. Parents born after ratification of the 13th Amendment do not qualify).

                              Some limitations apply. Void were prohibited. Batteries not included.
