I Support Reparations For U.S. Slaves

I suggest the U.S. government set up a "Slavery Reparation Fund" and encourage all U.S. freed slaves fill out the proper forms in triplicate to request their portion of the fund and submit these forms to their U.S. Senator. Only U.S. freed slaves may apply. You will need a birth certificate or Biblical record of your birth and a notarized statement giving you your freedom from your former owner.

 

The government of Mongolia needs to pay the rest of Asia for invading it and mass murdering and raping its inhabitants. Genghis Khan killed 40 million people, more than anyone else in human history.

 

I prefer reperations for Jim Crow aka American Apartheid.

in the form of free college for all blacks, building job training centers in black communities and tax free zones for businesses to create jobs in black communities.

 

I do not feel I should have to pay for the wrongs of others.

 

Since the slaveowners were mostly democrats, perhaps President Trump could issue an executive order suggestion that all democrats pay a reparations tax to be directly paid to any 250 year old slave that comes forward. The extra taxation in all those blue cities would probably go unnoticed as they are always demanding a "your fair share" method of taxation.

 

when government passes laws that persecute a people, society as a whole must pay the price

 

Anyone who's ancestors came here before the Emancipation proclamation MAY be responsible for reparations ,those who came after it are innocent.

 

The government (Honest Abe) freed the slaves. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Bill. Let those who were persecuted step forward and make their claim. But I don't like to hear black senators, black movie actors, black millionaires, black CEO's, black college professors, black athletes, black lawyers, and race baiters all tell me blacks are denied opportunity because our country once had slaves 150 years ago. Reparations have been paid tenfold.

 

when did the USA compensate black Americans for the crime of Jim Crow aka American Apartheid?

 

It wasn't society as a whole, it was Democrats...

 

it was racist Conservative Southern Democrats.

most of whom now vote Republican

 

Yeah, Democrats, glad you understand. Prove any of them changed parties with some evidence. What would it take for you to change parties in the next election?

 

when's the last time a Democrat won the South in a Presidential election?

 

Yeah they already have that.

 

no they do not

 

In fact, NO slave owners were Republicans. The Republican Party was started to fight against Slavery.

 

You can't get a scholarship just for being black?

 

The slaves were compensated by not returning them to Africa. Thus the decendents of slaves living in the U.S. today owe the government a debt of gratitude by allowing their ancestors to live here rather than be repatriated. Blacks living in this country are some of the luckiest blacks anywhere in the world.

 

Stupidity run amok! Why should taxpayers like me, whose family did not immigrate to the U.S. until 1886, 21 year after the civil war and slavery be required to pay anything? These dumba** democratic ideas such as New Green Deal, free college tuition, Medicare for all, etc., would cost $100 Trillion plus. You can tax everyone to death, but it wouldn't come close to raising enough money to pay those kind of bills! To put this into perspective, as of fiscal year 2018, the federal government was spending $893 Billion a year on interest to the national debt! If you raise the national debt to say $60 Trillion, it would cost about $2.629 Trllion a year! Eventually, the government would be forced to start reducing benefit payments for SS, Medicare, welfare, food stamps, etc.! JFK would not recognize the democratic party today and he was the last president who left us with not just a balance budget, but a budget surplus, as well as ZERO national debt at the end of fiscal year 1963! Think about the ramifications of what that means!

 

Please understand this is just a ploy by the democrats to pander to a racial group they are losing control and their ability to tell them how to vote.

 

Why should all Americans pay for what democrats put in place?

 

Obama won southern states, not sure what you are getting at. You didn't answer what it would take to make you vote Republican in the next election...

 

When my check coming in the mail as a man I'm being persecuted by a sexist judicial system... See incarceration rates among genders see sentencing duration between gender see family court rulings

 

On that note.

 

That seems pretty racist, as myself, being one who had absolutely nothing to do with it would have to pay for it. Why don't we just try to make things better FOR EVERYONE instead of these pointless exercises in nothingness.
