    And I didn't even factor in that my husband (wife, on pay days) is black.

    Me for the Reparations win!

    Yes, decorating a tree and getting presents and pretending there's a jolly old guy coming down the chimney is serious stuff.

    Will that mean that I can get my money back from the $2k that my first week of marriage cost me (married last week of December, and the increased taxes due to my new wife and I making approximately the same wage was about $2k).

    Looks to me like for all their moaning and bitching through this thread, the right has no idea what "reparations" Warren is advocating. But that doesn't seem to interfere with their moaning and bitching about them. :roflol:

    Oh but there's far more to it than that! There's enormous quantities of absurdly rich foods, hopefully roasted to smithereens and sans exotic flavourings. There's Christmas pudding (with sixpences hidden therein!), Christmas cake, fruit mince pies, proper stuffing made from scratch, proper custard, double cream, mint leaf sweets, crystal bowls overflowing with nuts, wine at lunch time, pine scented candles, your best table linens, mistletoe, pretending it's winter (instead of high summer) by setting your air conditioner to 16c, Bing Crosby, etc etc.

    As if the details of the thing render it sane :p

    The very idea of reparations (of any kind) is an out and out absurdity. There is no possible way of policing such a thing just for starters (who determines who qualifies?), or preventing the inevitable mass cheating. And that's if you get past the first absurdity ... punishing the son for the father's crime.

    Reparations seems to be more of a minority issue.

    The USSR? Venezuela?

    I was thinking of nations like modern-day Sweden and Norway and Japan. I'm not a communist. I'm a socialist capitalist.

    I don't believe in reparations. I just find your hypocrisy amusing.

    If it were possible to go back in history and determine the value of everyone's suffering ancestors and then pay their descendants ....we would all be wealthy.

    The fallacious politics of black victimhood wants everyone, apparantly to believe that blacks have somehow suffered more than anyone else. Nonsense.

    In the first place slavery was not nearly as bad as it is made out to be. Ever seen a photo of some of the actual slaves (there are several) they all look well fed and clothed.

    I don’t believe in reparations. But if we’re going down that road, I’ll figure out a way to get my $$$.

    And East Germany, North Korea, China, Cuba, Cambodia.
    As we see with our own Social Security, the Swedish model will fail here.
