Democrats owe Reparations if anyone does. They are the cause of 99% of all racial discrimination in American history.
Who supported slavery before, during, and after the Civil War?
Who instituted Jim Crow laws to replace slavery after the Civil War?
Who created the Klu Klux Klan?
Who has kept black families in their current state by instituting Welfare programs designed to break up families?
Democrats did. End of Story.

If Reparations Are Owed ... the Democratic Party Should Pay Them
By Joe Fried
Every so often, some Democrats call for reparations to compensate Black Americans for slavery and other indignities.
The latest plan comes from San Francisco, where a reparations committee is considering a program that would offer $5 million per qualified Black resident.
Let’s analyze the issue of reparations from the standpoint of morality and practicality.
Most people believe that compensation for misdeeds should come from the people who caused the misdeeds. For example, if John Smith and Joe Brown recklessly damage your car, you expect Smith and Brown (or their insurance companies) to pay for the repairs. Normally, you would not expect the repairs to be financed by the entire town in which you live: That would make no sense.
What if Joe Brown died shortly after the accident? Would you expect his children or grandchildren to pay you? Probably not. Instead, your claim for compensation would be focused on the surviving reckless driver, John Smith. We can apply this logic to the reparations issue.
Obviously, no person alive today existed during the slave era or as an adult in the subsequent Jim Crow or Ku Klux Klan eras.
However, there are certain responsible entities that existed then and now:
- The United State government
- Eleven slave states of the Confederacy plus four union slave states
- A handful of corporations with origins dating before the end of slavery
- The Democratic Party
I did not include the Republican Party for a very good reason: It was formed in 1854 by a bunch of abolitionists for the express purpose of ending slavery, which was accomplished at enormous cost 11 years later. On the other hand, the Democratic Party has to be listed for very important reasons, which are explained later.
We have identified four parties or groups of parties that may bear responsibility for slavery and subsequent discrimination. What is the financial liability of each?
How much should be paid by the United States and the slave states?
Shortly after the war, Gen. William T. Sherman signed an order reserving 400,000 acres of Confederate land, to be used for the allotment of 40 acres to each of thousands of former slaves. Unfortunately, after Republican Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Democrat Andrew Johnson became president, the offer was rescinded, and the land was reclaimed.
