Zone1 For people now 60+, will we be forced to pay reparations in our lifetimes?

[Moonglow]

No. I also want to know if the following qualify for reparations: Oprah, Lebron, Jay Z, Beyonce, Bill Cosby, Cam Newton, Obama, the children of Sammy Davis Jr. et. al. What % of black qualifies for payment?

It would probably work the way they do the Indians that have to prove heritage the blacks would do it by proving that they had a relative that was enslaved.

Since they were destroyed by a war that would be a little difficult.

Why should I pay for something that my ancestors MAY have done? Why should you pay for something that YOUR ancestors MAY have done? Were there slave owners in your family?

 

[Moonglow]

should the Dutch pay? they owned and sailed most of the slave ships. How about the African tribes who sold other tribes into slavery, should they pay?

I would use the umbrella lawsuit strategy.

Why should young adults pay for your social security and medicare? Why are you currently paying the Native American Indians?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

If we don’t stop the leftist-orchestrated decline, there might at some point be a scheme to give out a small fortune to blacks who did nothing to earn it. Do any of my contemporaries think it might occur in our remaining lifetimes (say, within the next 25 or 30 years)?

I would prefer to pre-pay my taxes and have tax-free income rather than have my money confiscated for this robbery, or to contribute to any part of the socialist nightmare.

What say you? In our lifetimes, or not?

The racist right continues to become increasingly more hateful, dishonest, and stupid.

Because they get to be part of the system that will provide a good portion of their income needs once they turn 65.

how could that be proven, mostly there are no records giving names, offspring, etc. DNA tests? who would pay for those? Who owned and sailed most of the slave trading ships? Should their offspring pay. How about the Irish who were brought to this country as slaves? This whole idea is ridiculous.

being realistic is not hateful, dishonest, or stupid. It simply makes common sense. You lefties are trying to buy votes with this BS and you fricken well know that's all this is about.

It‘s hateful and racist to object to making people who are not guilty of owning slaves being forced to pay for people who were never slaves?

Of course, that’s the strategy the hateful, dishonest, stupid leftists are to anyone who objects to racist policies favoring blacks. Reminds me when McAulife proposed paying black teachers more than whites and said “and anyone who objects is a racist!”

Not really.

And….they are trying to buy votes by bribing blacks with OUR money!

How many German youth today are still p[aying the Jews for what their grandparents did?

They vote for whomever they want just like you.

 

[Lisa558]

They are paying for any REMAINING Jewish survivors, the numbers of which shrink every year.

 

[HeyNorm]

I still have the same amount as when I started.

No, definitely lost credibility.

 

[Lisa558]

They vote for whomever they want just like you.

But influenced with a promise of money if they do. For no other reason than melanin content.

Maybe we need a sliding scale, based on the gray-scale: if you’re REALLY dark, you get full payment; darkish, you get 75%; mid-way, 50%; and a cafe au lait color, 25%.

 

[Redfish]

Why should young adults pay for your social security and medicare? Why are you currently paying the Native American Indians?

It is only that way because the democrats under LBJ stole the SS fund and merged it into the general fund. Who authored the bill to make SS payments taxable? Biden. Did you know that?

As to the Indians, they were treated terribly and should be compensated. Their land was stolen and they were put in virtual prisons called reservations.

Would the blacks shipped to the US have been better off as slaves to other Aftican tribes? That was their future if not sold to Dutch ship captains for resale in America.

Your assumption is an opinion and not a fact. The truth is you vote for those that will benefit you the most, not the least.

No I don’t. I vote for those that will benefit AMERICA the most.

wrong, they vote for who pays them to vote for them.
