Washington - A House panel will hold a hearing next week on the topic of reparations for slavery. The House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties is set to hold a hearing June 19 on legislation that would establish a commission to study the consequences and impacts of slavery and make recommendations for reparations proposals. The hearing is titled "H.R. 40 and the Path to Restorative Justice." (Snip) "While we have focused on the social effects of slavery and segregation, its continuing economic implications remain largely ignored by mainstream analysis," Jackson Lee said, adding, "These economic

The House could be working on healthcare, immigration, the exponentially increasing deficit, campaign finance reform or a host of other things that impact the entire country. But no. They persist in veering off road between maniacal persecution of the President and the inherent victim-hood of everyone else. They are sick. And useless. I'm going to refrain from characterizing them as evil. Let's just leave it at sick and useless.

We have already paid Reparations and sick of it. It never ends. Most Americans have no idea of the free stuff going to the ghetto while they pinch pennies. The past president and his wife took most of the reparations and enjoyed it while complaining about the country who put them in office with white guilt.
How about white slavery ? When do their descendants get reparations ?
Personally, I want to see age, race and gender taken off all applications. Either you can do the job or you can't.

Sheila Jackson Lee, who always goes first class, should be good for another fifteen minutes.

The last thing I would try to do is stop this insanity. Let all of America see the Democrats for who they really are.

I agree with reparations. Let's start with President Trump getting a do-over for his first term, without impacting his ability to run for a "second" term. When that happens we can discuss people who never owned slaves giving money to people who were never slaves.

Give the present day slaves each $1.00 US Currency and tell them they have been paid in full.
Then present them with the co$t of welfare, food stamps, subsidised housing, OBAMA phones, etc. that have been given them at no cost.
Tell the present day slaves they have already had their reparations and to get a job.
The Trump economy has produced millions of jobs.

Can't wait for the first show trial witness who will be a black, gay, muslim, illegal, tranny, atheist, foreigner, antifafadabadoo, who can't speak English. Did I catch all of the professional protected victim categories?

The definition of reparations is taking money from someone who has never owned a slave, giving it to someone who has never been a slave, so that person will vote for democrats.

The House, under the control of the Demon-Rats, is just finding one idiotic and evil way after another to waste billions of our tax dollars on stupid and useless things that will never get past the Senate or President Trump's veto pen!!!

I agree with Candace Owens on this - If you are, or have been, a slave in America, you should receive reparations from your slave holder.
It's a simple solution to a non-problem.

If the dhimmicrats were serious, they'd use their COLA for "reparations." Let's see what AOC has to say about that.

Tax, spend, waste money. Rinse and repeat. The Death Party will do anything for a vote. Never mind that blacks are being wiped out by baby murder.

We'll seriously consider doing the reparations when black populations are decimated down to a 1000. The way Democrats are aborting the helpless black babies, that number could come very soon.

Gotta whip and energize up a voter group if they hope to win in 2020. Thats the only explanation for going through the motions on something that stands no chance of passing and has been rejected by tge majority.

Dems want the issue but don't want a solution. This thought has been floating for years. Why didn't BO take care of this when he could?
Then they can say that Reps don't like blacks.

We've been paying this since the 1960's... it's called the "Great Society" and/or the "Welfare State."

All reparations will be paid in Liberia, in Liberian script. If you are willing to surrender your citizenship.

Blacks must be realizing that Dems are trying to buy their votes by talking reparations but really are trying to refrain them by promoting black abortions and pushing for Hispanics to replace them in the labor force. As long as Dems control them, they will be held back socially, monetarily and politically.

Anybody remember Pigford? Think of the multiplier of that fiasco that will be reparations. I for one will NOT go along. There will have to be a resistance to join. Or begin. Because if they pass ANYTHING it will surely grow from there (like ALL gov't boondoggles). But any objection to this long sought goal will be framed as 'racist'. You know, I hope I'm here when the revolution starts. I am not racist. I'm angry.

Reparations? Let's start with this: 620,000 Union soldiers DIED to abolish slavery. They gave their lives. How much is that worth?

The Dems are terrified that too many blacks may be escaping their plantation,
and they need to try to sucker them back into their Dem slavery, so this is the
bait.

Do we need to remind everyone that Democrats were the slave party? Any reparations should come exclusively from white liberals.
