    According to her family lore, her 1/2010 part Native America blood line also had some slave blood.

    “Because of housing discrimination and employment discrimination, we live in a world where the average white family has $100 [and] the average black family has about $5,”

    I have twenty times the average black person?? Where the **** does she come up with this nonsense?

    The Dems are really trying to recapture that working class White vote in the ‘blue wall’ I see.........LMAO......they are gonna make it easy on Trump with this strategy. Dumbasses......you already had 95% of the black vote no matter what you do or say. Try selling that **** to a 21 year old White kid in Eastern Pennsylvania whose ancestors came over from Poland in the 1880s with nothing but the clothes on their backs........

    Housing discrimination? Show me.

    As for employment discrimination, again, show me. There are probably very few companies in the country who don't have quota systems in place when hiring, every place I've worked did although they didn't call it that. Any company identified as not having the proper ratio (which over compensates in favor of minorities) is going to be boycotted, burned to the ground or strong armed like the way Jackson and Sharpton do..

    Also, these days it seems nearly every black man, woman and kid had a job in commercials, and in those commercials they don't look poor, discriminated against, homeless, unemployed or uneducated.

    The racist :censored: party is literally trying to bribe black people into voting for them. No class, no shame.

    For the record, I am 100% against "reparations", whatever that might possibly entail in 2019...

    However, even you admit your grandparents CAME from Portugal, not were brought from Portugal... Big difference there...

    I know you were making humor, but it's a valid point... Still, the day for reparations has come and gone... probably 100+ years ago...

    If Elizabeth Warren can benefit from it, she will lie to get it, no matter what her DNA test says.

    During her town hall she proposed over 100 Trillion in new spending but only said how she would pay for universal child care, universal pre-k, universal pre-pre-k for every child in America with a wealth tax. She did not say how she would pay for Medicare-for-All, slavery reparations, 3 million new housing units, expanded infrastructure spending, or the Green New Deal, all of which she endorsed.

    So what! The were treated like slaves and deserve the same reparations as those who never experienced slavery. Not a single person alive today was a slave of the Confederacy.

    I have a theory.

    I think progressives use talk of reparations for the purpose of stoking resentment and entitlement in blacks, with the ultimate purpose of gaining votes and loyalty.

    Change my mind.

    They already have the black vote at 95%. It appears that they are going with the ‘get out the black vote’ in Milwaukee......rather than bring back some of the disaffected White vote in rural Wisconsin......good luck with that........

    This one is easy folks, do like I will do.... identify yourself as black. The left already believe gender is fluid, how big a reach is it for them to believe that race is fluid as well?

    The idea of reparations and how it would be implemented is so racist only the :censored: party would think it's a good idea.

    Nice, maybe Rachel Dolezal was ahead of her time. Why can a person not be trans-racial? Race is a social construct after all. Amiright?

    About the people who died freeing the slaves, who pays them? The slaves, right?
