    MORE UNITY!! Thanks Democrats. What possible good can come from this? Honestly. What the hell are they trying to achieve, besides civil war? It’s getting more and more apparent there could be major plans to completely fracture this country and destroy it. Is China at play here paying Democrats off?

    And this has exactly what to do with the subject?

    Just sit down, relax, and let Trump fade away, you'll be fine.

    Why would you think those involved would be a one-and-done? Experience, it has a value in employment.....

    It is called human being logic!

    If the government was talking about giving only white people $10,000 each, would that be wrong?

    There isn't a single human being alive in the United States today that deserves payment for history over any other.

    It is called common sense!!!

    It is not human logic to ask the taxpayer for $2m just for being white.

    Get it right, the people of Spain and England enslaved africans.. Slavery was a colonial thing, you do know the origin of the Colonials and who they swore their allegiance to up until the The war of Independence, right??

    Even then they were still English Colonist many years after slavery was abolished.. Good to know a little about U.S. history, especially when reparation are involved... I'm sure that in all fairness the poor mistreated Africans would want the REAL people to pay for their sins and that Good Sir, would be the English ;)

    What's next, the U.S. pay off all the Aboriginals for the atrocities inflicted on them by the English too :wierdface:

    You're kidding...right...? :lol:

    Obama may not be able to "run again", but to Democrats he's still a very powerful, 'demi-god' figure whose pronouncements amount to official 'woke' dogma for them. Who is "he pandering" to "and why"? He's pandering to BLACKS -- to keep them in the Democrat ranks... as already demonstrated by another great Democrat demi-god -- Lyndon B. Johnson!

    As far as what "reparations" itself would consist of, bet on this -- it wouldn't be 'CHUMP CHANGE'.... According to this story at CNBC, the tally could be TWELVE TRILLION DOLLARS! Link: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/12/slavery-reparations-cost-us-government-10-to-12-trillion.html

    Many of those colonists would become americans though, even if they came from europe. America was their colony. So yes indeed, get the spanish and english to help you out with reparations by all means, thats an internal issue amongst yourselves, nothing to do with the plaintiff

    This has to be a joke post....tell me it is.....

    You actually think it matters what he's referring to when he says 'reparations'?

    The notion of reparations can not be defended. It doesn't matter what the reparations would be, it can't be defended.

    You are seriously just trying to get out of this conversation because you know the left has no leg to stand on. Reparations are a joke and I can't think of anything more divisive than reparations would be. You can't penalize people for something they had nothing to do with and reward people for something they didn't go through.

    Reparations are such a joke. The resulting litigation would cost this country billions in addition to the billions the gov't would try to steal from people to pay for them.

    Actually, you make a resilient, unassailable point! The new 'woke' philosophy we're being drenched in today holds that we ARE whatever we tell the world we ARE!

    Example:
    Before 'Biden/Harris', I'm a White male... a product of White German ancestors.

    But NOW -- I've determined that because Black Africa was the origin-point of all modern humans, I'm part-Black myself! Moreover, I'm beginning to think that I have sexual feelings for males, so, I'm also now a LBGTQ+ 'something-or-other'.... Anybody who doesn't believe me has to PROVE THAT I'M WRONG... right?! :twisted:

    So, now that I'm 'woke' and 're-educated', gay and Black -- here's the most important question -- how many different varieties of government 'free stuff' and other handouts, like 'reparations', does my 'new reality' qualify me for?

    As you have written it, you make a good point.

    Now then, is it logical -- or FAIR -- to ask U. S. taxpayers to pay someone for ANYTHING, purely on the basis of a person being born into any racial group...?

    Because they don't work when the sun doesn't shine, nor when the wind doesn't blow, and especially when they are coated in thick ice.

    I am not a supporter of the US paying reparations but for anyone to even think that Blacks would quit working ( en masse) ifreparations was passed is ludicrous. To think that all of the jobs being done by Blacks such as Secretary of Defense for instance is just plain STUPID!
    As if Gen (R) Austin would quit his job firvreparations oayments.

    You do realize that your assumption that Blacks would quit working ( en masse) is probably not racist but is to a large degree a prejudicial statement.
