Death spiral: Congressional Democrats introduce multi-trillion dollar reparations bill

[marvin martian]

I can't look away!

The Democrat party is self-destructing before our eyes, and it's sad, but hard not to watch.

Also, why didn't they do this in 2021 when they had control of ALL of congress and the White House? It would have been a slam dunk, right?

What fools! Just keep picking at that scab, and more and more Americans will finally see many blacks for who they are. Not just some poor, misunderstood group, but a large class of permanent grifters.

Recently, a leftoid said about white South Africans that if they weren't happy in South Africa, they should return to where they came from. The dialogue has begun.

These people treat great black Americans like Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell like pariahs, that is their culture, and no amount of money can alter that mindset.

See now, this right here is why I can't vote for a democrat. Any and all democrats, they came this close to getting rid of the filibuster and if/when that happens it's Katy bar the door. Trump and the GOP are not what you'd call fiscally conservative, but the democrats are an order of magnitude worse, bordering on ridiculous. You ever see video of a shark feeding frenzy? That's what the democrats are like when it comes spending our taxdollars.

Here is the problem. the Republican Congress is moving slow. And it has the chance to codify some of Trump's agendas. They are not. They may hand the Progs the House at least in 2026. And the Republican Senate is disappointing also.

Meet the Wealthiest Black Americans Worth Over $1 Billion

In March 2024, Fortune reported that businesses owned by African Americans have grown at the fastest pace in more than 30 years. African Americans shape the culture in many aspects of American life and are admired and emulated by people of every ethnic background. One measure of their success is...

The relatives of the late Herman Cain included and the Family owning Revlon added to the list and I am sure there are more to add. Do all these folks get reparations also?
If you want to talk that how about the Victims of the Ocoee and Rosewood massacres? Now those black families may need reparations if they haven't already.

I think that Black Americans who lived under segregation laws are due reparations as much as Japanese-Americans who lived in internment camps.

 

[Concerned American]

Reparations came in the form of Affirmative Action.

TODAY one of them is trying something. But Johnson sent them all home again, no votes on FRI. Another Vacation coming up too.

Those leftwing kooks imagine that they will be able to point to GOP as the reason it gets denied. Then, they will claim that it is evidence of how the GOP hates black people.

I stand firmly on a bedrock principle:

“Reparations” is dead on arrival, as it should be. And we should all heartily denounce it for what it is: a liberal conman effort.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

They know they lost the black vote in 24 so now they're trying to coddle

"We dems love you blacks almost as much as we love Illegals"

Yes, but that would knock out all blacks under age 60 along with those who lived in northern states. Racists like Presley would never accept that.

wow, just fuckin wow. Blacks are permanent grifters.

Overt racists will burn in hell one day. That is you.

I used to be more of a centrist/moderate, who voted for members of both parties, independents, and others. And, you are exactly right. Republicans are bad but I wouldn't vote for a democrat anymore until they jettison the Progressives and the lunatic wokeness who can't even define what a woman is. Trump could pretty much do anything and I wouldn't give a shit because democrats are way worse.

 

[Blaster]

This bill will fail.

They have such a small majority is the problem.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. MT 7:1 (ERV)


And blacks as a group are in large part permanent grifters. From 40 acres and a mule down through this very day. You can hear their elected leaders always demanding more, more, more, as in the OP.

Their attitudes towards great Americans like Clarence Thomas or Thomas Sowell is very telling, and they prefer grifters like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

Have a nice day!

How many blacks would there be who were born before 1950?

I was thinking 1964 (Civil Rights Act), and maybe only those who lived under legal segregation. This would not be an apology for slavery, but for a denial of civil liberties.
