Heated and emotional debate on Capitol Hill about reparations

1. What would be the payment for Reparations to make amends!? Meanwhile whites are living off the generational wealth from blacks African ancestors, apologize make it make sense ignorant fucks!!!

2. Apologize and pay.

3. A child is not responsible for the crimes their parents (or ancestors) committed. Collective punishment of a population is a violation of human rights. The wealth of slavery was obliterated during the civil war! More of America's trillions of dollars of wealth is a result of exploitation of European and Asian Pacific Islander Immigrants, than African Americans. Slavery pre-existed the formation of the United States, and was practiced across the world, even on the continent of Africa! If any group should be paying reparations for slavery and the infringement of civil rights in America it should be the Democratic Party! In an equal society BET would never have been a thing, Mr. Johnson profited off of inequity just as surly as the commodities traders in cotton and tobacco.

4. Mitch McConnell’s comments prove he need to shut up
   And sit down somewhere. And slavery wasn’t just mean it was and still is EVIL.

5. Cut the checks, CONGRESS. @least $5000 per month for each African American, Negro, Black, coloreds check the birth certificate. It’s not hard. Do your job.

6. Reparations only should be paid to anyone who WAS A SLAVE by THE SLAVE OWNERS!
   If this is you, STEP RIGHT UP!
   This is YOUR Lucky Day.
   END of Subject!
   The matter is CLOSED!!!

7. Reparations should be paid by west coast African countries who captured and enslaved their own people.

9. Kamala Harris didn't do anything but show up in Black fack and give a semi apology for Biden

10. They will not pay, they will laugh at us. D on way to get their attention is outside the court

11. Shoo cuz Shoo….give me my free rent, groceries, education and reparations….shoo…

12. I searched my lineage thoroughly. No one in my family tree was ever a slave owner. In fact, several were part of the Underground Railroad. A couple were even caught and hanged because of it. No reparations are due from my family tree.

13. My ancestors never owned slaves. They came to the U.S. from Europe in the late 19th century, long after the end of the Civil War. So why should MY tax dollars have to go towards paying for reparations for African Americans? It's been more than 150 years – they've had more than enough time to catch up!

14. 2:11 That didn't age well, lmao

15. Kick the can down the road till you get to Gods Judgment America it’s here now the tribe of Judah will be repaired and a repayment ,

16. Tickets get your tickets get back the choice to live in your ancestors county of origin or choose to immigrant to this horrible land full of racism any white people

17. I've been thinking about this and maybe we should give them what was taken from the slave's when they were captured and shipped here on boat's, give them back that freedom they had before enslaved, strip there american citizenship and give them a 1st class plane ride back to there county of origin then they can have that freedom there ancestors never had, the freedom to choose if they want to come to the greatest country in so (full of white supremacists and sestemic racism) the world to be whatever you want to be live a life of real freedom in a land of diverse people from everywhere that come together and it works very well. But they have that choice to make not someone else. The idea of mad racism are bs the only racist people are the one's pointing the finger blaming others for there life of bad choice's. It's hard to play catch up in any game let alone life and if you don't get in the game to win for yourself you lose bottom line. Democratic party made a political platform victimized the black community to become dependent on the government program stole your freedom to choose things for yourself, sure they get you a place to live in but it was never your place they give you food stamps and some cash for single mothers and then what, they haven't did anything they promised in forever for those communities cause they cared about there political platform more. But they still got your votes at the highest % of any group 80% or higher year after year in some cities. So I say a 1st class ticket a nd there freedom to choose if they want to be American citizens or to stay in there county of origin. White privilege I missed that class I guess I skipped school that day 🤔 can I still get it and what do you get does it get me stupid rich so I can just fock around all day every day doing whatever without any consequences for my actions wait you almost had me that's Antifa and other antifascist activist.

18. As a mixed Caucasian American, I would like to share my opinion about what has been a recent political consideration, that has been called, "black" reparations.
    I would like to state that I am not completely for, or against the idea. If we are going to have reparations for the African American community, the idea should be properly presented.
    Even though I know that unfortunately, racism, and slavery has been a part of America's history. We must also not forget that one of America's most major wars was faught entirely because of the subject.
    This subject is why America faught the civil war. We should not forget that our past president Lincoln accepted the challenge from those who waged the war against the rest of us, and that many Caucasian people faught to end slavery.
    This was not a war between Caucasians and African Americans. Therefore, we should not just label these damages, "Black" reparations. To do so, may deepen the issue if presented and accepted that way. The first time I saw the idea presented was by an African American pastor of a major church saying that these "reparations", should come directly from the Fed, and the amount he was asking was astronomically high in number. That is not too say that some African Americans do not deserve damages from these harmful ideas.
    I also think we should call these damages "reparations", but these damages should come directly from those found guilty of promoting those ideals through the form of discrimination against African Americans and other minority races. We currently have good laws to fight against those racist ideas such as the civil rights act of 1964.
    I have also seen the idea more recently presented in a northern state, and the idea was that these reparations be taken from a tax added to the legal marijuana industry, these funds paid directly to African Americans who "qualify". The Civil War happened long ago, and again, was not a war between Caucasians and African Americans.
    Let us address the idea directly, and punish those who are found guilty. The "reparations", should not be payed to every African American, nor taken from every Caucasian, nor collected in a way that would further embed the idea of "acceptable", drug usage.
    There are monies that are paid to those who are victims of discrimination when the victims win their court cases.
    Thankfully because of the civil rights act of 1964. To be more specific about those laws, there are limits to the amounts of money that can be received by the victims. Not including other deserved funds called "front pay", "backpay". The money received by the victims for this harm is referred too as "damages".
    In order to address the issue more directly, let us call these damages what they could then appropriately be called "reparations". Let us double the caps for the "damages". Half would go to the victim of the harm and discrimination, the other half to go towards the state or federal government, and let that amount be called, a "reparation", that fund could then be designated to further the cause of reparations for those who deserve them, and let that fund be called the "reparation" fund. The monies for those funds only to be used to combat the idea of racism and slavery where appropriate.
    We should tell those who are guilty, in a more specific way, why they are being penalized, the amount appropriate enough to have them feel the affects of the financial penalty they are too pay. The funds within either state or federal government, being labeled appropriately in order to send a message to future "public servants", otherwise known as politicians. Unfortunately, some politicians probably tend to forget that they are at service, and would rather serve their own interests. If any politician were guilty of inappropriately using those funds, let the penalty be steep.
    We all know that a very more recent presidencies have shown us these issues still exist. Those who are racist were made angry by those of us who helped elect an African American president. We know they seek to punish those of us who believe in, and promote equal rights. They have basically waged war against us in a very similar manner as they once did.
    They place their politicians and other public servants in strategic places in order to combat and ultimately stop "equality", and "democracy". What we do not need is another physical civil war, but in truth, a political battle has been wages by that side against much of the American Public.
    We should make very sure that our politicians do not serve nor promote the causes of racism and slavery. We should especially ensure as well, that those public servants who oversee cases that involve the civil rights act of 1964, within those smaller entities, do not have fundamental ethical issues that would hinder the proper outcome of those cases, and those cases have proper oversight.

19. While we're at it, can Mexico get California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas back? I mean Santa Ana sold them at gun point?

20. American native Americans are really deserving of reparations pay out more than any other race.

21. Lol @Kamala now she is riding joes coat-tails.

22. This is a joke they should be laughed out of court you get reparations and you might just start slavery again

23. Irish were treated worse than blacks in America historically alot more recent too and you don't see the Irish asking for any handouts cause their ancestors had it rough…( just a thought)

24. Slavery is the original sin? I thought it was Eve eating the apple

25. Quit begging

26. Americans didn’t install slavery, the British did when they bought slaves from the Muslims in Africa. So let’s start there.

27. Democrats owe blacks reparations. They raped, murdered and enslaved millions of my ancestors. They are the party which fought to keep slavery and to keep your ancestors from receiving reparations after slavery, i.e., 40 acres and mule. The are the people who responsible for the KKK, segregation and destroying the black family with feminist, transgender-ism and mass incarceration. American in general may or may not owe reparation, but there is no dispute that democrats owe black reparations. Democrats don't need to pass laws, they can take a party vote to start paying reparations. Blacks just turned down 500 billion for us in favor for a senile old racist with a 50 year history of harming black. This is pure psychosis. Talk to democrats about reparations first.

28. hipocite Harris

29. So you’re going to take money from some people give it to another for no reason? You don’t expect there to be any backlash?

30. How about white people reparations we were slaves long before the black man sold us the black man they want fucking reparations they can go to that black man sold them to us so how about white reparations first

31. There should be NO reparation for blacks, ABSOLUTELY NOT. This is the STUPIDEST thing ever. These people will try to milk the govt for ANYTHING instead of getting a job and A LIFE, beyond pathetic.

    THERE ARE NO LIVING BLACKS TODAY THAT WERE VICTIMS OF SLAVERY
    Someone tell Biden that.

    You want to talk reparation????? Then ALL Americans should get reparation for DISCRIMINATION also!!!

32. If the U.S. ever gives away my tax dollars merely based on "race" that will be the last time either me or my business pays taxes. They can hound me until the day I die, I will never send them another cent!..

33. Slavery is NOT the original sin, know your bible!!! Reparations is a joke!

34. Percent of welfare recipients who are white: 38.8%
    Percent of welfare recipients who are black: 39.8%

    (Note: Many people confuse these statistics. This does not mean that 38.8% of all white Americans, and 39.8% of all Black Americans are on welfare. It means that 39.8% of all the actual welfare recipients are Black, and 38.8% of all the welfare recipients are white.)
    white people make up 60.4% of the total United States Population while African Americans represent only 13.4%. So more blacks are on welfare….than white people……….and white people make up 60% of the population.
    Talk about already receiving your slavery Reparations. This is a HORRIFYING Set of statistics for the Black Community…………..HORRIFYING.

35. Emotion all you want. No to reparations.

36. I wish I could see the facial expressions the Native Americans are making right now

37. What black people are forgetting is that you are second in line in America for any reparations. Native Americans were wronged before blacks.
    And it’s documented a lot better.

38. How…..is…..this……a…..fucking……debate?

39. And these clowns are politicians we are so fucked

40. HE SHOULD HAVE WORKED WITH HERR HITLER AND SEE HOW THAT WOULD WORK
