If so, it's a horrible vote pandering ploy that further degrades the integrity of the office and erodes the public's confidence. Exactly what we needed right now when so many are enraged is a bunch of empty promises. Then they'll blame the evil Republicans when they knew from the start there was no way to make this happen and only serve to divide the country even more.It’s 100% just a political talking point and has no chance of actually going anywhere. And they all know it too.
Does Elizabeth Warren get paid? She is half white, half black, and half Indian. I know that sounds impossible but it's true.
i agree with you but its just terrible. they shouldnt be wasting time on this. we have legit issues they should be talking about.It’s 100% just a political talking point and has no chance of actually going anywhere. And they all know it too.

i agree with you, but i think you chose the wrong analogy. trump has been deporting millions of people. i think you meant trump talking about locking hillary up. lol at him for bringing that up at his rally the other night. its been 3 years and he hasnt moved on that and yet his base eats it up. i admit i want her locked up but at this point, its just lip service.It’s not so much a waste of time as it is answering a question. This idea has been brought up by a certain segment of democratic voters and the candidates just have to say they would support a vote on it yada yada. Is it lip service, yes and it’s unfortunate. But in reality it’s no different than Trump appealing to his base saying he’ll deport millions of people. Unrealistic lip service.

if only the dems werent hold him back, id bet hed deport more. im hoping he can really ramp it up.You’re drinking the Kool Aid Wayne. Last year Trump deported over 250,000 people. That’s definitely a lot. But is still behind the 410,000 Obama deported in 2012.
But ICE doesn’t have the manpower, time, or means to deport “millions” under Trump’s tenure. He could probably hit 2 mil over 8 years.
I saw talk yesterday from proponents of this House hearing that "reparations" is now just a catch-all for gaining support to do things nationally to combat racism, invest in African American causes (whatever that's supposed to be), and "admit" that this country was complicit in slavery (we've already done that?).
All of this is a huge mistake on their part. If that's what they're really after here, then tying this to something as charged as reparations is the wrong way to go about it.
ITT: a bunch of white republicans tell us all how ridiculous black people are for voting democrat.
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell says electing President Obama was all the reparations we need. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...pLloXzpWNor9sLgSoPfAB75MKepLNOIdVQ0HGplTkeDcE
LOL. You've got nothing, pansy.Way to not contribute in any meaningful way yet again and offer a totally worthless response
LOL. You've got nothing, pansy.
McConnell is a racist dickwad.
You guys are racist dickwads, and not one of you has ever felt a single ounce of discrimination or felt effects from 450+ years of racism in this country. But keep telling black folks what they need to be doing. I'm sure you know best.
How bout you open your wallet and give money to blacks as reparations? Exactly. Hypocrite. Pussy.LOL. You've got nothing, pansy.

Angry people exists on both sides of the aisle.Racists like Chemmie surely applaud the degradation of this black man who spoke on this topic. Surely with the same hate and vitriol he’s faced from hate filled liberals since he spoke.
We do this with the magic of science!300,000+ Union soldiers died in the civil war. Certainly their ancestors don't have to pay reparations?
Also, as a previous poster stated, many immigrants came to this country after slavery had ended .... or at the very least arrived here and never owned slaves, and oftentimes, treated horribly for being immigrants.
Are they exempt from their taxes being used for reparations? Can they get reparations themselves?
How do we do this?
You can replace the word angry with dumb , ignorant , assholes etc etc . Politics is so disgusting it’s really sad .Angry people exists on both sides of the aisle.
Another 3rd grader, Progressive US News Media argument, which the critically thinking Liberals at The Atlantic (one of the last bastions of true Liberalism in the media) debunked some 5 years ago ...US paid the Japanese for reparations from World War 2 in 1990. While i was alive when the reparations were paid, i wasn't born when it happened.
I still wasnt born when it happened.Another 3rd grader, Progressive US News Media argument, which the critically thinking Liberals at The Atlantic (one of the last bastions of true Liberalism in the media) debunked.
That's the problem. Progressives have no ability to go deeper, and will cry and complain if the same logic is applied to off-spring. E.g., the larger the set of kin, the less money each gets.
- The Elusive Specificity of Reparations
They’re not an abstract notion. They’re particular amounts of money paid to particular people. To atone for America's sins, whom should the government pay, how much, and why?

"The United States did not pay reparations to Japanese Americans as an ethnic group. The United States government paid $20,000 per person to those Japanese Americans (or next of kin) who were interned during World War II.Japanese Americans who were not interned received nothing. The compensation was individual, not collective—a point I stressed when I wrote in favor of such payments back in the late 1980s ... "
And yet, you didn't want to dive into the detail either. You just wanted to stand with the 3rd grader argument, not dive into the details ... and the 'proportionate solution.'I still wasnt born when it happened.
Lol they got paid thats whats important. If you want to pay the blacks the same way you paid the Japanese by all means. What are you paying them? Jack sh1t.And yet, you didn't want to dive into the detail either. You just wanted to stand with the 3rd grader argument, not dive into the details ... and the 'proportionate solution.'
Moderates, Liberals, Libertarians all ask the same questions, and debate all the aspects. You just want to ignore them, or quote the aspects that are compatible with your 'alignments.'
The problem is that the wing of the Democratic arm won't accept a deal like for the kin of Japanese interment or coal miners.Lol they got paid thats whats important. If you want to pay the blacks the same way you paid the Japanese by all means. What are you paying them? Jack sh1t.
Look if you seen the highlights, both ends of that spectrum really don't want money. Theyre scared because whitey is gonna criticize them again for free money. And boy i heard the white politicians were filling up the room to see this one too
As well as free to own slaves and free to reject doing business with customers especially interstate wise.We Libertarians are against all reparation because we're against persecuting people in the first place! We've been against the 'War on Drugs' and for 'Marriage Equality' since 1971 ... well before you idiots passed DOMA and 'Tough on Crime'!
Nominated for worst post ever.As well as free to own slaves and free to reject doing business with customers especially interstate wise.
Nominated for worst post ever.
In other news, Elizabeth Warren wants to give retroactive tax credits for gay couples, essentially just another form of reparations.
