Slavery reparations could carry a $17 trillion price tag

Now watch how the trolling starts.

A new bill would calculate potential costs of reparations — and by Yahoo Finance estimates, these could reach as high as $17.1 trillion.

Last week, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held the first hearing in a decade on H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. The bill was first introduced in 1989 by former Congressman John Conyers (D-MI). Conyers reintroduced the bill each year until his retirement in 2017 — and each year, the bill languished in Congress.

The bill’s focus was not to pass reparations, but to research the impact slavery had on black Americans and develop proposals for redress.

Payments are not the focus of H.R. 40’

The subject of reparations has remained a political hot potato, with presidential candidates Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Beto O’Rourke and Julian Castro supporting some form of reparations. But while the Democratic-controlled House is willing to hear the bill, it seems likely that a bill on reparations will die in the Senate where Republicans have a majority. When asked about the hearing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he opposed the measure, given that “not one of us currently living are responsible” for slavery.

McConnell continued, adding: "We've tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation. We elected an African-American president.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), a sponsor of H.R. 40 — named after the 40 acres and a mule promised to freed slaves — responded to McConnell’s comments in a statement to Yahoo Finance.

“Payments are not the focus of H.R. 40,” the congresswoman said. “Knowledge is the focus of H.R. 40.”

“The Majority Leader may want to deny this bill a hearing, but he cannot deny the horror and the denial of freedom that human bondage represents,” she said. “The Majority Leader can't deny the free labor that slavery brought; he can't deny the people who died in transit; and he can't deny that this is the 400th anniversary of the beginning of the slave trade.”

The case for reparations

Activists have been calling for reparations for years, and in 2016, a UN panel declared that the U.S. owed black Americans reparations because of slavery and its link to injustices today in America.

“In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent,” the report states.

“Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching. Impunity for State violence has resulted in the current human rights crisis and must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”

It just doesn't look like that's going to be the case. The day of reparations will come.

They already did.

Apparently they haven't.

I want reparations for all the bad Sports I have had to watch by teams that were 100% African American. I also want money I once bet on Mike Tyson and lost back.

I also want reparations for all White People who were denied Athletic Scholarships due to The Minority Quotas Colleges have which they fill with Minority Athletes.

This "Social Promotion" via Athletic Scholarships has led to Over Representation of Minorities in Professional Sports. Should not our "Sports Teams" look more like America, than Africa?

Lastly, I want all Professional Athletes, Professional Sports Teams, Owners and their Corporate Sponsors all to have their incomes restricted and mandated to be equivalent to The Average Blue Collar Working Man's Salary. We'll call that "Guaranteed Income"

Still begging? Actually, I might go for reparations on the condition those who choose to accept be returned to Africa. That would be fair.

The policy was designed to benefit AMERICANS. As a result you get to live in a majority white country instead of a majority black country. How do those countries look like Mr. Black Supremacist?

 

[Picaro]

Tie it to emigration back to Africa. If they don't take it, that means they're fine with things as they are. Those we did ship back, for free and with lots of goods to tide the over, promptly set themselves up as slave plantation owners, so we know black people really are fine with slavery.

Also, does this mean we can now demand reparations from Europeans, who brought slavery here in the first place? What was the name of that organization that said we owe the hood rats 'reparations', again?

Actually it does happen. There are MINORITY QUOTAS at Colleges which are filled with Athletic Scholarships given to minorities at the expense of Asians, and Europeans.

This Social Promotion then further skews Representation in Professional Sports where 90%-100% of some Professional Sports teams are African American and or Hispanic.

They would look a whole lot better if whites stop taking the resources out of the continent without paying Africans a fair price. That and the conflicts whites created during colonization.
