    So many concerned democrats on the far left want reparations. Mainly to buy black votes for the democrat party.

    However there is a great solution for reparations. Add and extra line to the Fed IRS tax form so that all those thinking reparations is a great idea, can contribute extra money for that project.

    Who specifically supports reparations?
    For the record, I do NOT support reparations at all. To those who want or expect reparations, to them I say F##k off

    This would be the only acceptable process.

    I presume that there are charities specifically targeted towards deprived black people, so if people want to contribute that way they can.

    Btw, why are mixed race people in the US and Europe called black?

    Well you'll have to change your tune on that if you want to stay in the wokeness club. Reparations were in the Democratic Party Platform last year, several prominent Democrats support it, including many of the 2020 Dem primary candidates, and the Congressional Black Caucus supports it.

    So you better get your mind right quick or you'll find yourself declared a racist hater.

    Basically any black person who calls themselves a democrat, and most far-left white dems who use black oppression and black victimhood as another politically induced talking point and voting point.

    Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Julián Castro from the primaries off the top of my head. Since Harris is VP and seems to be practically running the government, that gives it some clout.

    Oh and Joe Biden, but he's pretty busy falling upwards so I doubt his opinion matters.

    Castro isn’t a legislator so his opinion means jack s**t. So one legislator supports it. Not gonna have much traction with that. Which is a good thing. No one deserves a cent.

    Unbelievable, I mentioned the President and Vice President of the United States, and you focus on Castro. That tells me you are not being sincere in your comments on this thread.

    Just go ahead and endorse reparations and get it over with. You're going to have to do it sooner or later anyway.

    So how about it concerned liberals, are you going to have your Congressional reps have the IRS add that line to your Fed income tax returns??????????

    How much do you think you will "give" each year???

    You clearly didn’t read my post close enough. Only one of those people you mention is a legislator. Take a wild guess why that would be important? I’ll wait.
    And I can’t be any clearer....f all those A holes who even think about giving anyone reparations. There isn’t much that gets me angry...but this is one of those things that does.

    Those people mean jack s##t. I’m talking about legislators. You do realize Joe Schmo is unable to put legislation together and vote on it, right?

    The only reparations I am for is to recompense the black American veterans who were denied access to G.I. Bill
    funding after WWII.

    How would you compensate them? I'm a veteran who has never received a penny from the G.I. Bill. Should I get something?

    That sounds like a great idea that should be applied to many ideas which are so eager to spend other people's money against their will!

    I haven't paid any attention to baseless ad hominem attacks before, I'm not going to start now.

    There is a reparations commission bill going through the House right now. Wanna bet it passes the House?

    I’ve only been made aware of one legislator who is in favor of reparations. Are you saying there is more? Who else is in favor?
