Which Black American today is impacted by slavery??


Laughable.

[Facepalm]

Stupid.

[ItsMillerTime]

This would never happen, they're saying this for votes.

[diamenz]

this is outrageous. even any reasonable liberal would think so too.

I dont think impacted is the right word. It impacts the lives of the living by handicapping the ancestors when family wealth and upbringing are often factors in how you live.

It wasnt as long ago as it feels. Its like asking how anyone alive was impacted by the civil war when there are living children of civil war vets still around....but even if there werent it clearly changed American history.

Living people knew slaves.

If you round up all the trafficked south east asian girl slaves and then release them is there any chance what they went through wouldnt impact the lives of their children? And thats in a world they could live as equals once freed. Hell they would be pampered if America knew the situation. There would be gofundmes and pledges and all kinds of help in modern America. They wouldnt be released into a world where they were still seen as subhuman for decades.

Their kids would still be impacted by them growing up as sex slaves though. How not?

Parents and grandparents play a huge role in your life.

harris is for sure, but warren? i doubt it. i mean, she fights the good fight vs. the banks, but she's pretty out there.

You know Warren was a Republican until she got into politics. Magically, when she decided that she wanted to get involved in politics in a very blue state, she suddenly decided that she was a Democrat.

[STATUTORY]

imagine being a self-respecting white man who would vote for reparations in 2019

nope, had no idea. reading up on it meow.

And that she was an Indian :lol

So is Kamala Harris :lol

[ScalsFan21]

One of the less obvious goals here is to force Sanders into a choice he doesn't want to have to make: either back reparations or risk the "Bernie is terrible on race issues" crap becoming more pervasive.

I don't agree with Harris/Warren on this. It's the wrong approach. If you're going to try to right historical wrongs with money, you do it by taking real steps to make the future will be better for them (criminal justice reform, guaranteed health insurance, FULLY taxpayer-funded public colleges), not giving people another excuse to demonize minorities...

I don't have a staunch opposition to policies like affirmative action or even reparations, I just think it's hard to overlook the social drawbacks to approaching these problems in that way.

[webberz0044]

I fully support reparations for Shitting Bull Warren and her tribe.

[tpols]

It doesn't make sense because 95% of white people came from lineages that didn't own slaves... If you could trace the specific families and descendants and tax them alright, but still it would ignore all the other injustices that happened to,many other groups and lead to a slippery slope of everybody getting reparations thus limiting their impact relatively. Stupid.

[Lakers Legend#32]

Pay Up Whitey.

[masonanddixon]

Pay Up Whitey.

Go back to Liberia.

What was Trump for most of his life?

Sorry but no. You don't punish the son for his father's sins.

[bladefd]

Slavery ended 160+ years ago so the entire concept of reparations in 2020s would be ludicrous to even mention. That's what? 8-9 generations ago? Maybe more because lifespan was much shorter back then for the average person.

It's all talk tbh. None of it is anything more. I don't think anyone is realistically going to push for reparations if they were to win the presidency.

So why is there even mention of reparations? It's obvious. People are trying too hard to not come across as being insensitive to anyone's feelings, and in response they end up being overly PC. Especially in today's environment. Politics is not helping either and only making matters worse. The orange moron in the white house has made people across this nation angry with his out of control divisive politics to the point where lines have been drawn. We were already moderately divided before in 2000s and before, but Trump only exacerbated things last 4-5yrs. People are getting pushed further to the extremes on both ends of the scale, and it's unfortunate for everyone..

I have no idea how America will look in next 10 years, but I do worry sometimes. People need to toughen up and stop getting butt-hurt over everything that happens because it won't get any easier. All it does is causes more anxiety and needless stress. People have to relax and stay calm - get off social media for a bit..

Stop playing victim and blaming Trump for people acting crazy. Inidividuals have to take some responsibility at some point. Grow a pair and stop being a *****.

The divisiveness really came from the left anyway by playing identity politics as they no longer value individualism but value collectivism and identity. This is why the left is eating other now and you have anti-semites in the Democrat party.

Funny how you say “it’s all y’all” though. You would never give the same courtesy in regards to the wall and Mexico paying for it.

I am not playing victim to Trump but speaking frankly. Country was already divided before Trump took over as I mentioned. He hasn't helped that one bit with his attitude, temperament and behavior, and that's a fact. You can try all you want to brush his behavior aside, but I won't. He has been a petulant child his entire presidency and life. How do you think people, who were already angry and divided, were going to respond to this clown president adding fuel to the fire?


It’s not his fault youre a petulant child and a clown.

If Trump is one, then it’s his fault for being one himself.

But you being one isnt his fault.

[egokiller]

Ms Warren talking about reparations for blacks? Bitch get in line. We must first address reparations for the American Indians that we took land from. Casinos and reservations for them don’t make up for it. Talk about showing your hand to early when your not holding nothing but a ****ing 2 7 off suit.

:roll:

But you are. You're saying because how he acts, it justifies lefties acting super crazed. While I agree there's an issue, it's much deeper than, "Trump's mean."

If the country was divided before Trump took over, what was the blame for that? Who was to blame for that?

The reason why the country is divided is because the federal government has too much power and too many people see the president as some sort of cultural icon and celebrity. Stop caring so much and you'll chill out more.

If a trump supporter tried to brush off the wall and mexico paying for it as, "all talk" would you accept that answer like you would for reparations?

What is up with all the pusification?

The New York Times used "beaner" as an answer in its crossword puzzle. (The clue referred to baseball:

Ironic since if you gave everyone a genealogy test, African Americans would have more slave OWNER lineage than your average white American. :lol

No, it doesn't justify it but explains one of the reasons why both sides are getting more and more extreme.

What was to blame for the division before? It got bad under Bush days due to two wars, 2 needless tax cuts, stock market recession and probably 911 when anxiety hit the roof. Also the 2000 election mess left democrats angry, and Obama winning big left gop angry and GOP majority saying they will not work with Obama before he even won election. Social media rise too can be blamed for causing anxiety. Divisiveness has been on the works for a long time, maybe the 80s/90s. The number of moderates has been falling on both democrats and gop sides for some time.

I always said Mexico paying for wall was all talk and was never going to happen. I would accept someone agreeing with me. Why would I have a problem with someone agreeing with me?

Good point. What does that have to do with reparations? This only further solidifies that some form on retribution is owed to Blacks.

[97 bulls]

I understand that there be too much red tape to even get reparations figured out, but to say that nothing is owed is insane. Especially if the reasoning is that the Blacks that lived today never experienced slavery.

We live in a Caste system. Our president, as bad of a business man as he has been, was fortunate to be born to a rich man. Does that mean that he should be stripped of his money because he honestly didnt earn it? Seeing as how he was born into it?

[Cleverness]

What would be the policy? The federal gov't decides who gets a paycheck from taxpayers based on how much black blood they have? Sounds racist AF.


Oh come on. The US has designated land for Indian Tribes and arent taxes on the money made from those tribes through businesses like Casinos. What have the decendants of African Slaves ever recieved?

Yeah. No group in America has been helped more by gov't https://youtu.be/pQ4lnDy2xnQ :lol


this is outrageous. even any reasonable liberal would think so too.

Driver licenses, voting, and free healthcare for illegals were all thought of as outrageous at one point. Now we've got all 3 in the 1-party state of California. #progressive

My only argument is if a person says that Blacks dont deserve reparations.

[Hawker]

Why don't dems get behind Howard Schultz? He's basically Obama.

[Lakers Legend#32]

All non-billionaire Trump voters could pay reparations with all the money they got back from his tax cut.
BWAWAWAHAHAHAHAHA!:roll: :roll:

Did Obama sellout the Sonics to a bunch of hillbilly rednecks from OKC?

[dude77]

:lol these two imbeciles will get destroyed if they face trump

[masonanddixon]

How shameless would a black person have to be to think they are owed anything or that they have ties to people who died 300 years ago?

Most American blacks are whiter than most European descended Americans.
