16.

17. Kkk did this and it was conveniently left out of this report!!! The democrats and the kkk.. don’t twist the truth. If anything this is mockery… reparations should come from the pockets of the democrats that support the kkk.. https://www.waynedupree.com/2012/06/the-tulsa-lynching-of-1921-a-hidden-story-democratic-kkk-killed-over-300-blacks-on-black-wall-street/

22. Freedom is not free but it is on Memorial Day that we collectively, as a nation, contemplate the cost. There are no words that can express the depths of our gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of liberty, but we will always remember them as national heroes.

23. Damn the guys who did the attack got a 300 kill streak

24. It was a time in history.. we learned and changed. Look at Martin Luther King. Trying to keep this racism alive is a liberal agenda.

31. You people are completely embarrassing yourselves…

32. THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
    
    CAROL SWAIN , professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University
    
    When you think about racial equality and civil rights, which political party comes to mind? The Republicans? Or, the Democrats? Most people would probably say the Democrats. But this answer is incorrect. Since its founding in 1829, the Democratic Party has fought against every major civil rights initiative, and has a long history of discrimination. The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s.
    
    In contrast, the Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. Its mission was to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories with the aim of abolishing it entirely. This effort,however, was dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. In the 1857 case Dred Scott v. Sandford, the court ruled that slaves aren’t citizens; they’re property. The seven justices who voted in favor of slavery? All Democrats. The two justices who dissented? Both Republicans. The slavery question was, of course, ultimately resolved by a bloody civil war. The commanderin-chief during that war was the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln – the man who freed the slaves. Six days after the Confederate army surrendered, John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, assassinated President Lincoln. Lincoln’s vice president, a Democrat named Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency. But Johnson adamantly opposed Lincoln’s plan to integrate the newly freed
    
    slaves into the South’s economic and social order. Johnson and the Democratic Party were unified in their opposition to the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery; the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship; and the 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the vote. All three passed only because of universal Republican support. During the era of Reconstruction, federal troops stationed in the south helped secure rights for the newly freed slaves. Hundreds of black men were elected to southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the US Congress by 1900. The Democrats did not elect a black man to Congress until 1935. But after Reconstruction ended, when the federal troops went home, Democrats roared back into power in the South. They quickly reestablished white supremacy across the region with measures like black codes – laws that restricted the ability of blacks to own property and run businesses. And they imposed poll taxes and literacy tests, used to subvert the black citizen’s right to vote.And how was all of this enforced? By terror — much of it instigated by the Ku Klux Klan, founded by a Democrat, Nathan Bedford Forrest.
    
    As historian Eric Foner – himself a Democrat – notes: “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, shared many views with the Klan. He re-segregated many federal agencies, and even screened the first movie ever played at the White House – the racist film “The Birth of a Nation,” originally entitled “The Clansman.”
    
    A few decades later, the only serious congressional opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats. Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of Democrats did. Democratic senators filibustered the bill for 75 days, until Republicans mustered the few extra votes needed to break the logjam. And when all of their efforts to enslave blacks, keep them enslaved, and then keep them from voting had failed, the Democrats came up with a new strategy: If black people are going to vote, they might as well vote for Democrats. As President Lyndon Johnson was purported to have said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two hundred years.” So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing. Democrats falsely claim that the Republican Party is the villain, when in reality it’s the failed policies of the Democratic Party that have kept blacks down.

33. Having to go back 100 years means, America isn’t racist today. Stop the lies.

34. A 2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 39 dead, 26 Black and 13 White, based on contemporary autopsy reports, death certificates and other records.[18]

35. It is really sad but just like any other murder they need to find the people that did it and hold them accountable. There should be no paid restitution from anyone.

36. while fake African Americans are whining, REAL african american from Nigeria come here and do great

37. Most black people don't know who won the civil war, who fought it, which party supported slavery, and what party Lincoln was in.
    So, cry me a river.

38. I'm not surprised by the reparations. They will find a way to get that money. Bet.

39. How about a day of remembrance for the Camp Logan riots? Wrong victims and wrong killers in that one. It never gets mentioned.

40. Eh they loose this many in Chicago on a busy weekend.
