GOP Senate Candidate Calls For Reparations
For White Union Solider Descendants

I had several relatives on the union side, and I would never ask for reparations because of the utter shame I feel knowing some of my blood fought for the yankees. I sure wouldn't want to apply for it in writing.

What is that gesture the Italians use where they swipe you chin with a thumb as a sign you've been had? Is there a name for that? Seems to apply here.

I had three g grandfathers and four gg uncles who fought for the South and one who fought for the North. Nobody is owed reparations for anything that happened 160 years ago. LOL #1. I feel the same way.

I don't think that the idea is to play equally stupid games.

All reparations should be paid by the Dim party, since that existing organization is responsible for slavery and the Civil War. Descendants of all who fought in the civil war should get huge reparations since that huge injustice was visited on them by the Dim party.

Both my wife's side and my side of the family have many Union soldiers. We want double reparations sonxw both sides fought.

Well, I demand reparationsl as well. I couldn't vote 100 years ago. That's totally unfair to me now. Give me money.

Nobody, black or white, should be able to get reparations for whatever happened in the past. This is past history, period, and we should let it go as that.

I think that he is deploying a Rush Limbaugh tactic. And that is illustrating obsurdity by being obsurd.

Amen #9. My gg grandfather was in the Connecticut infantry. I'm just as worthy as anyone else to get reparations. It's about equity....the same result for everyone.

Over 1/3 of my family tree was "Pruned" in that war, every male member over the age of 15 volunteered and fought, several died, in combat, from disease, several more came home missing arms, legs, eyes, lungshot and weak forever after, the survivors and the "youngsters" spent the rest of their lives supporting the wives and children of their brothers and cousins...trapping them forever into a hard working and impoverished life. My most direct relatives, two brothers both were officers leading "Colored Troops", they paid from their own pockets for boots, clothes, weapons and food for their men, as well as convincing a young Doctor acquaintance to serve with them as well. It wasn't until after WW1, when two more brothers went and served in France...that the 1st of the family went to college, and became doctors...and no longer needed to work from can see to can't. I don't want reparations, but a thank you would be nice. Certainly no DEMANDS from someone descended from those that never fought to free themselves. Unless those kvetching are descended from the victors of the slave revolts in the caribbean? Their families paid no price getting free, just reaped the benefits of someone else's sacrifice. If their generations since wasted that freedom and opportunity? It ain't on anyone else, thy should have listened to Booker T, not WEB.

Reparations for everybody. Send the bill to the government.

Not a bad tactic. Whenever a Dem shouts for reparations, jump on the bandwagon and shout for reparations for your favorite group of people. Reparations for all until everyone realizes how stupid the concept is.
