    It will never pass. We already, in 2009 or so, passed a joint congressional resolution apologizing for slavery in the United States. My own thoughts are complex. Abraham Lincoln wanted to repay the Africans in his second term but that never came to pass since he was assassinated and Reconstruction of the South was a punishment to the South for assassinating Lincoln by one of their own.

    Democrats forced "trans men" into existence.

    They used to correctly be referred to as mental patients.

    Reparations are one thing if you're talking about giving them to former slaves or even the first generation of former slaves. But 158 years after the fact, some 8 generations later. I don't think so.

    That's funny. Trans people have been around longer than I think you realize. It is only recently, in the last 5 to 10 years ago that people began to notice ever since Katlyn Jenner came about. And Bruce/Katlyn was not exactly a Democrat by any means.

    "Cori Bush is now under federal investigation for misusing federal security money." Cori Bush is one of the main supporters of defunding the police.'

    Unreal: Cori Bush's New Response to Investigation vs. Past Comment.

    While she was defunding the police, she spent more than $700,000 on private security.

    And she was humping one of the security guys: 'She paid part of that money to her now-husband - $62,000'

    'Cori Bush paying so much for private security, and how she thought she deserved protection while she wanted to defund the police. This is the kind of person we are talking about here. She's definitely something else with the arrogance here.'

    'Rep. Cori Bush (2021): I need to have my own private security but defunding the police has to happen, so suck it up Cori is now under criminal investigation for misusing tax funds for personal security.'

    Now she says she has a tooth ache and can't speak about it any more.

    For all black folks reading this hat are waiting for possible reparations, may I remind you that you probably have a 99.9% chance of getting a nice and cushy job as an actor in TV commercials? When opportunity knocks, SEIZE IT!!

    For anyone thinking about reparations, right now we are supplying the 2,000 pound bombs for Israel
    to flatten hospitals.

    Barbed wire and machine guns are sufficient defensive, and cameras.

    How can 2,000 pound bombs be used defensively?

    Don't fit the fuse and hide behind it. Nothing the Palestinians have
    can set it off, so it is good for defense.

    Can we claim we have no idea what the bombs and artillery shells
    we are sending are being used for?

    What about our liabilities all over the globe?

    How about Vietnam?

    3 million or more dead
    agent orange all over the place
    no reason for the war at all

    a photo of one bullet was shown to Congress
    and all but two voted for war

    If we started to pay reparations, we would start
    fewer wars.

    That's a weird comment to put out from someone who is under investigation for improperly paying her intimate partner for security.

    Serious question. Will this 14 trillion be diverting funds from my white privilege checks? I would prefer to keep getting those in the mail.

    This is more evidence that the majority of elected Democrat officials are literally insane.

    So where the hell do you get the money? You going to start charging special taxes just for white people?

    Of course because having a bank account is white privilege.

    You know there are tons of people of mixed racial heritage.
    Do they have a plan to find out who's black enough to qualify?

    Do you have to take a DNA test and is there any sort of percentage cut off that you must be x percent of black or you don't qualify?

    Maybe we can get Biden to be the expert on it because he seems to feel qualified to tell black people whether or not they are really black.

    Those calling for reparations are funny. Something like 1200 to 2500 black people owned around 12,000 slaves during that era. Are their ancestors going to get part of those reparations also? From the sounds of it...14 trillion...the answer would be "yes".
