Here we go again, the left is trying to use the reparations scheme to buy votes. How in the world do you punish people for something they didn't do and reward someone who wasn't a victim? I also see this as a way to attack the GOP during the next election; anyone who isn't in favor of reparations is a racist. Schemes used by the left to get/buy votes: Lowering the voting age, letting felons vote, and now they'll pay people to vote.
I’m all for reparation, providing these claiming eligibility can prove, they were the original people done wrong to.
If Democrats think the GOP is 'the white man's party' now, just wait til after they try to make reparations happen. Reparations would be literal institutionalized racism against whites. Non-cucked white Democrats would start looking for a new home in droves. And then, not to mention, the klan, alt-right, etc would have more new members than they know what to do with. So go ahead dip shits, let's get it over with.
The problem is, taxing only white people and giving it to only black people is unconstitutional. But taxing everyone and only giving it to blacks is... public policy. But it's the same damn thing.
Well there were 600K slaves freed, and I think a kind for kind reciprocal solution can be had. Let 600K freed slaves descendants go shopping! Take them to their local prisons and let them pick out a slave of their own. Their choice of color. :: Let prisoners who need "rehabilitation", serving 20 yrs or more, give back to the community and get the "rehabilitation" they deserve by making reparations on behalf of fellow citizens. Prison over-population solved.
I only see Dems losing votes on this issue & I hope Trump takes advantage of this. The Dems already have 90% of the black vote, although I believe Trump will do better with the black vote in 2020 than he did in 2016. Only 26% of voters support reparations. 13% of our population is black, so the white people who support this idea is minimal. Trump should push this issue, because I am sure most independents are against this foolish idea. I work with a couple left leaning loons & they don’t even support reperations.
Pretty sure all the slaves and slave owners are dead so this argument is lame. Stop trying to get free money and get a damn job!
If the democrats want to hand Trump the elections in 2020, this is how to go about it. Discussing reparations will not win Democrats many votes from people that would not have voted Democrat to begin with. However, it will upset many Independent voters....and the Democrats can not win without Independent votes.
They are losing the “Reperations/slavery” battle, so they needed to shift to Jim Crow. In the end..... they will end up eating crow.
black codes would have Never occurred to Anyone with Equal protection of the law; blacks could have simply said; nope, not market friendly enough under Capitalism and I am going on unemployment for simply being unemployed.
LOL - I can't think of a better way to lose the white vote. If the Dems think this is going to help them buy the 2020 elections I encourage them to do so.
There are great many blacks that consider themselves equal to whites and prove it by competing and winning in the marketplace on their own merit. I prefer those blacks to the crybullies who blame their own utter failure and lack of performance on others..... so beta.... You should watch some "The Amazing Lucas" on youtube to see what an alpha black male looks like. Actually some of the best youtubers in existence today run black conservative channels, there are dozens of them and many of them have hundreds of thousands of followers..... and not a single beta in them.
Jim Crow laws and black codes were instituted by Democrats, so ONLY Democrats should pay reparations. All those who are registered as Democrats, get out your wallets...
Slavery was wrong for many reasons. Depriving workers of the fruits of their labor is being discussed. If taking 100% is wrong, why is getting closer to 100% right?
