Congress to hold historic vote on slavery reparations bills next week amid movement's increasing success at state and local levels
More House kabuki for the rubes. Even if the House bill is passed, nothing will happen unless Senator Chuck Schumer can find a majority in the Senate.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Democrat-led House of Representatives to consider bill studying reparations

  • The bill was first introduced more than 30 years ago but never advanced
    So hoary rather than historic. Yay.
  • Move is aimed at possibly repaying descendants of slavery in America

  • House Judiciary Committee to debate bill for the first time on Wednesday

  • Move was announced by committee chairman House Rep. Jerrold Nadler

  • President Biden has expressed support for creating the commission

QUESTIONS:

Since the US CONGRESS was the one that legalized Slavery. Shouldn't members of Congress be the ones that pay the Reparation IF Passed?

If Reparations become a Taxpayer paid benefit and since Black-African America Community pays taxes. Wouldn't they be paying their own Taxes?

Using the 40 Ac and a working mule illegally made promise, by a UNION General (Sherman), that equaled $355.00 in 1865 according to newspaper records. Adjusting for Inflation that would equal about $5,500.00 in 2020 US Dollars. That $5,500.00 being a payment for wrongs to a person done 160+ years ago, would be DIVIDED among living ancestry of those that could provide their GREAT GREAT Grandparents was a former Slave.

Also should the already 500,000 +/- free prior to 1860 slaves, in Northern and Southern states be covered by reparations at all, since they were already free?

Should persons who immigrated here after 1865 be taxed to cover something they had no part in?

How will the SCOTUS legally rule the taxation of every race except those with African Slavery Ancestry?

Why should the family decadents members of the Union Military of the 2,128,948 that fought and/or died to abolish slavery between 1861-1865 be required to contribute to the Reparation Tax?

That payment would ONLY be for those AFRICAN Imported Slaves NOT all Black Americans. NOT for those arriving after 1865.
So roughly 4% to 6% of the Black Community might qualify.

Now the question proving you are of a AFRICAN SLAVE Bloodline.

Note: I have about 25 more than listed here. That I wrote years ago in a article to tick off Race Baiting Liberals.

#5 As far as I know my ancestors came over after the civil war from Noway / Sweden. They never owned slaves. Well perhaps way back in ancient Viking days.
Why should I have to pay reparations?

#6 ^Because your Neolithic ancestors stole 15 IQ points that, rightfully, belong to African-Americans.

#7 Let them get a list of names of people that were slaves back when it was legal. If they can find one they can have reparations with my blessing.

Everyone else, I'm willing to have a sell your citizenship movement to assist them in moving to a country without such a history that holds them back.

#9 Dane-geld by another name. We already subsidize a huge section of black Americans through the massive list of entitlement programs, and they want more. This is just extortion through the implied threats of violence and presumed white guilt. Democrats will support it because it buys/keeps blacks on the government plantation!

#10 Give each of these shakedown artists a one-time take it or leave it offer of $50k in cash and a one-way ticket to the West African destination of their choice. In exchange for lifetime renunciation of US citizenship for them and all their relations and descendants. I will gladly support spending that sum for every authentically DOS (descendant of slaves).

Call it the STFU and GTFO Act of 2021

#13 It's already been paid several times over in give-away programs. What hasn't been paid is the debt for Northren lives in the Civil War. Time to move on. The politicians need to stop driving wedges between groups of people in the U.S. They need to stop fostering hatred.
