If he can find someone alive that was once a slave, I'm good with reparations. If not, he can GFH.

So does this mean that I can now go to the local Quick Trip and try to hustle all of the blacks out of gas money to get to Houston to see my grandma in the hospital?

Trillion? What a lowballer.

Let's go for $500tyelevenquintrillion. That's a good starting point. Or is that not enough?

My wife keeps trying that "we spent it into existence" strategy but it isn't working for us. What are we doing wrong?
You need to be spending other peoples money, like the government.

What these idiots don't seem to understand is that inflation is a tax and it is the most regressive tax known to mankind.

Inflation is theft from savers. They absolutely don't care.

Let's just call all of the welfare payments made since 1935 to Black people "Reparations" and then call it even.

We increased the national debt by the same amount he's asking without raising taxes the last 7 years. What we spent it on I have no effing clue.
Whatever it was, Biden got 10% of it.

How do you clawback the welfare paid to the hillbillies and Mormons?

What if half your ancestors didn't get here until the 1900's and the other half were Irish and not quite lucky enough to be slaves?

Do the right thing? He must mean have the black father remain in the home of the children he helped create, stop committing a disproportionate amount of crime, get off public assistance and get your ass to work, learn to speak and write properly, and place a lot of emphasis on education. Change culture, as best you can.

Handouts, something for nothing, something you don't deserve are not solutions to any problem, real or perceived.

Wait for them to demand reparations and treat them the same way.

Still sounds like a victim to me. Full share reparations approved.

This is not at all what they want. They don't want to have to work for it, or put in any effort, they just want it handed to them. And then, when we do, and they recklessly spend it all, they will be back for more.

It's amazing to me how more and more blacks are not even trying to hide the fact that they feel they shouldn't be held personally accountable or responsible for their decisions, like literally EVERY other race does.

I glanced at an article on ESPN the other day that stated "black expression shouldn't be penalized". Arguing, of course, that while other ethnicities should rightfully be flagged for excessive celebrations in the NFL, blacks on the other hand, should not because we're denying them their right to "express" or something ridiculous like that. And of course, the fact that we do so is….racist.

Yeah, I don't want any portion of this. Mom's side were Iowa farmers and Dad's side was from central Indiana. Bowman can go ahead and take me off any contribution list.

Would a person who immigrated from Kenya 2 years ago get this payout under this idiotic proposal? What about someone who immigrated from South Africa 2 years ago?

So $333,000 is going to do it? Unless there is inflation, then they are going to need more of a completely random amount.

Where do they dig these morons up?

Accept reparations and you are required to leave the US forever.

Deal?

Do these descendants of slave owners have to pay up as well?





Or is this only restricted to those of more limited pigmentation?

What "irreparable harm" ?

If you were born in America, you hit the life lottery. Quit being a lazy, whiny *****, and get to grinding. Pansy.
