House holds hearing on slavery reparations

Paying descendants reparations for their ancestors having been slaves is a moronic idea and nothing more than political pandering to blacks from the left. It would cost trillions of dollars to pay for and it's money the government doesn't have. How would you even determine who would receive the reparations? Both Obama and Hillary opposed slavery reparations, but it's picking up more steam as the Democratic Party moves further and further to the extreme left.

Danny Glover testified at the hearing and justified slavery reparations with some descendants of Civil War veterans are receiving pension benefits. I found one, an 86-year old North Carolina woman who is the daughter of a Civil War veteran. Her father received the pension as a veteran of the Union Army. She receives $73 a month from his pension. The law states the pension ends upon her death. Glover is comparing apples to oranges using this as a narrative to justify slavery reparations. Once this woman passes away, the pension stops.

In 2014, there were fewer than 35 sons and daughters of Civil War veterans (both Union and Confederacy) on the rolls of heritage groups tracking them. That number is probably half that today. https://news.nationalgeographic.com...erans-day-150-anniversary-civil-war-memories/
 
I fully support reparations for any slaves that are still alive today. Heck, I'd say give them $1 billion each.


Fortunately, any plans the Democrats have likely won't happen and they know that. They are simply doing it to try to get votes.
 
For the right price the Queen and I would consider paying.....once the yard work, house cleaning, and cooking has been done. Any takers? And we won't even ask questions of ethnicity or religion.
 
I like the mention in the Fox article that said a better route would be to invest in developing the economies in the inner cities and poor areas. This would not only help members of the black community but would benefit the country as a whole. Economic prosperity solves a lot of problems.

But a free hand-out is much easier.
 
A snap shot of why this country is going to hell socially. Absolute ridiculous that this could even be a national discussion much less be taken seriously. Nothing but race baiting politics by the Dumbocraps. Take away the race card, class envy, entitlements, fear mongering and the Dumbos have absolutely nothing of substance to offer.

^ This pretty well sums it up.

The Democrats are enemies of the state, IMO.
 
I still think she would be a great president for this country that would also make the democrats totally self-destruct!!!
Think of the possibilities there.
I agree, but unless she changes her mind she wants no part of it.

Can't say I blame her. But oh the things she could do to bring this country together!
