Democrats and the issue of Reparations

[Bruce_T_Laney]

Reparations? For what? Not for slavery, which is generations in the past; yet, when considering Jim Crow and the efforts by the conservatives to whine loudly about Affirmative Action, which not only benefited people of color, but women too, there is some merit in considering all those who suffered, and continue to suffer hate and fear, ought to receive some consideration.

However, if the consideration is a check, I would oppose that. But let's be clear, the glass ceiling has been broken through at the last election, and the H. or Rep. has a duty to keep their promises and pass legislation to create training for 21st century jobs, increase the minimum wage, close the wages gap, and expose the hate and fear promulgated by the election of trump.

Equal Rights and equal opportunities are the goal, and the Golden Rule is not now and never has been the goal of communism or fascism.

Not for slavery, which is generations in the past; yet, when considering Jim Crow

I agree, the Democrat party owes black people reparations.

How much will you contribute to this worthy cause?

Equal Rights and equal opportunities are the goal

Well, okay, no more Affirmative Action. Lots of whiners won't like that......​

As pointed out they do not want equal rights.

dimocraps have ALWAYS been racists.

For the first 150 years of our great Republic, they were racist for Whites, now they're racists for Blacks.

They haven't changed a bit. Except for the race they prefer.

And 'racial preference' is racism. I don't give a flying **** what nice-sounding, academic adjectives you put in front of them -- Racial preference is racism. period

dimocrap scum don't give a good god damn. All they care about is if they can get a few votes, a little more power.

As soon as it's inconvenient for them, they'll stop and switch sides to whatever happens to be in favor at that moment. Maybe mooslums. More likely hispanics. They don't care who it is. All they want is power.

dimocraps are scum. Always have been, always will be

They will ditch the Hispanic vote when they discover the majority of the Hispanic population are religious and actually social conservatives that do not support the Progressive Agenda.

Democrats won't tackle reparations, they dangle reparations out there to keep blacks voting for Democrats.

Really? Do you think all blacks vote for Democrats, and not Republicans, because black people want free things?

That's not true, but it's a meme, aka, a BIG LIE as are most talking points from the right.

Where did I say they vote for Democrats because black people want "free things"?

What I said, the Democrats use reparations as a wedge issue, and they will never tackle reparations, they just claim that someday they will.

I didnt own slaves and will not pay one cent. That they're talking about such idiocy perfectly reflects the dems lunacy.

Equal Rights and equal opportunities are the goal, and the Golden Rule is not now and never has been the goal of communism or fascism.

What about reparations for Conservatives targeted by Obama and the IRS.

Oh, that's right, they won a bunch of money in court over that.

Never mind.

So what about those who are 1/1023 Indian? Should Elizabeth Warren get some cash even though she used her race to get into colleges, etc.? What about those who were white but living in Europe at the time of slavery? What about blacks who sold their black relatives into slavery in Africa and then moved to the US?

So many questions.

Only a few questions, and the answer is?

How about legacy admissions to college, the decades where women and people of color were shut out of many careers - the law, police and fire agencies, wall street, medical, the trades and the old boy's club. Lots more data points than you seem capable of posting.

What about that?

Are minorities prevent in today society from working on Wall Street or having Civial Servant Jobs?

What is your State doing to help train the minds of tomorrow or are you going to say California shouldn't be responsible and demand the Federal Government to do their job?

Most of your issues you cry about can be dealt with at the State and Local level but you do not want that because that mean higher taxes just on you and not the person in Red States.

So tell the board why you support the failure of your State and Local Governments when it come to helping the minority communities and demand the Federal Government to do their job when the GOP control the Senate and White House?

Do you have any facts to support your claims?

Q. Are minorities prevent (prevented?) in today society from working on Wall Street or having Civial Servant Jobs?

A. No, Jim Crow laws have been repealed long ago. However, racism and bigotry have not been eliminated, and in fact have become more common / acceptable in the last three years (thanks to D.J. Trump).

A. The Federal Government under Trump and Betsy DeVos won't do anything to support educational curriculum which leads to 21st Century Jobs. Their goal is to create for profit institutions, many of which have been proved as worthless as Trump U.

A. Jobs for minorities, especially in CA require a higher education, which too many American citizens can't achieve, a result of the conservative war on public education.

The jobs in Red States are of concern to Democrats too, it seems fiscal conservatism is unwilling to spend money on remedial education, necessary to compete for jobs, and to move on to higher education (technical or academic).

Isn't it odd that the conservatives opposed spending money to expedite the recovery during the Great Recession, and yet now seem oblivious to the cost of shutting down our government and cutting taxes for the few at the expense of the many.

Worry about your own damn State and stop telling other States how they should live!

Until your State of California eradicate poverty and creates some type of Utopian Society then you have no room to Judge red States!

Also only a moron would believe Racism can be eradicated at all!

I bet you are one of those that believe only White people are racist bigots, and believe that minorities can never be racist at all, and if so well you have proven time and time again that you are one that is beyond help!

You do realize your State can and should fix it own educational system and it shouldn't be the Federal Goverment Job to do it for you!

So why do you excuse the failure of your political party at the State and Local level?

Also now you did introduce the great recession, so from 2007 to 2009 why did Pelosi and Reid along with Obama in the Senate allow the recession progress and not do all they could to end it with Bush as President?

Simple, then they would have never obtained the White House.

You Democrats play as if your political party did nothing to bring on the recession but anyone with half of a brain would know better.

The fact is you are nothing but a Socialistic Nutter that believe the Federal Government is your big brother that you can use to shove your social justice down the throats of everyone while ignoring most of what you want could be dealt with at the State level!

So the reality is the reason why you vote Democrat is because you do not believe in equal rights but believe in your agenda should be forced on everyone and those that disagree are racist bigots in your eyes...

Here's another fool that doesn't want the best doctor available for his kidney transplant. He wants the best minority doctor available for his kidney transplant.

Who or what made you into the jerk you are? It must have been horrible for you to be so bitter, so bigoted and so filled with hate.

Is it fear, are you one of the cowards who need to be armed to go to the market? Or do you simply sit at your computer and post vile and hate fulled posts?

What does the second Amendment have to do with his response?

Seeing you were in Law Enforcement does it bother you that society has that right because you could not use your badge to abuse society?

Serve and Protect. It's Trump&Co. abusing millions of our citizenry.

Do we owe reparations for not supporting Democrat racism?

Affirmative Action is a statement that blacks are inferior and unable, genetically, to make it in our society without the aid of government and white Democrats.

You're not very bright, and at some level you must know so. Continuing the meme that the D. Party is the same party of the past is nothing more than a BIG LIE.

Even those who cheer you for this comment know the truth - Truman integrated our Military and Southern Democrats rebelled against the repeal of Jim Crow laws, and opposed the Civil Rights Bill of 1964.

That's not true, but it's a meme, aka, a BIG LIE as are most talking points from the right.

Why does the Black Community vote for the Democrats?

Answer:

They believe the empty promises and lies and never learn.

Bullshit, but thanks for a re-iteration of what I've posted over and over again; that being the Social Conservative Republican's believing their policy of opposing - but doing nothing about - abortion.

The problem is there is not enough people who will go to other parties. It is noble. But it is a dead end. For it is "D" or "R" and although not always, for the most part who is forced on us.

Define the "average American". If you are honest they are the lower middle middle class, living paycheck to paycheck and unable to come up with $500 dollars if a major appliance is broken.
