Reparations Poll - vote for or against

[kyzr]

Every election cycle we have some democrats trotting out the "free money" promise to supporters via "reparations". Any type of "reparations" have zero chance of becoming Law. The 2020 elections cycle is heating up and Kamala and Warren both support reparations.

That's so touching. Let's ship these leeches some more money for doing nothing.

One condition. Pay them and then ship them home to Africa.

Nope, the get paid, they agree to get their sorry asses out!

I support reparations, but only if the following conditions are met:
1. Funds to be disbursed will be collected from all persons who currently hold, or have held, black slaves in this country.
2. Recipients of reparations will have been held as slaves, in this country. Reparations will be prorated for the period of slavery for each individual.
3. Monies collected for disbursement will be based on prevailing wages at the time that recipients were enslaved.
4. All persons who were never slave-owners nor slaves are exempt from forced contribution or mandatory disbursement of funds.
Fair is fair. If you own, or have owned black slaves (in the US), you should pay into the pot so that those blacks who have been slaves here are fairly compensated for their tribulations.

Less than 5% of the African slaves ended up in the US. The majority of them went to South America and the Caribbean. It's odd that nobody in any of those countries is asking for reparations.

Of course, very few if any black people in any of those countries have invented anything, built anything, or contributed any great thing to the world. They live in shithole countries which are always undergoing political upheavals, crime, hunger, and shit.

Maybe liberal black Americans should be happy they're living in this country, instead of where their ancestors ended up.

I enjoyed the video, it was well done. It hearkens back to the old south with the imagery of a plantation and hanging tree and stars and bars. Not sure if blacks get that many people who fly the stars and bars today do so as a form of rebelling against the globalists and 1%'ers who keep them poor. For them its not a racist anti-black symbol of the old south, its a rebel symbol against the wealthy who moved their factory jobs overseas. Just sayin'...

They want to take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who were never slaves.....this is a typical democrat program....

However...the democrat party was the party of slavery, and is still, to this day, the party of racism....

And yet....

ship them home to Africa

I posted that video as a fitting reply to the very real sentiment offered up by Mike.

I have never heard that interpretation offered up before. I don't buy it.

Maybe they need a new symbol of rebellion. That one has too much baggage.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

As I have stated before, I would be willing to pay reparations to anyone I enslaved from 1970 to date.

 

[Maxdeath]

If you have to make promises of payment to get votes knowing full well that you will never make that payment you might have a problem with your platform.

 

[Marion Morrison]

IM2 is not gonna like these results.

 

[B. Kidd]

Easy poll. Oppose.

Reparation promises are the Dems hope for buying black/looney white guilt votes.

It's the new Obamaphone, on steroids! A way to keep the majority of blacks on the Dem plantation


Isn't buying votes illegal???

I mean, if we still have freed slaves that are still alive wondering around right now, by all means, yes.
