Every so often, the race industry in America — let’s call it what it is — seemingly feels like they are not getting enough attention, and so they come forward with some new absurd way to get that attention, apparently clinging to the notion that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The latest to attempt that is far-left congressional squad member, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO). Bush has glommed onto an idea that is certainly not new and is hugely unpopular with roughly half the country. But Bush has decided to give it the old college try and float it once again.

Immoral and illegal shakedown operation.
Taking money from people who never owned slaves to give it to people who never were slaves, over 155 years after slavery was outlawed is a SCAM.

Reparations have already been paid. You can find them buried at Union cemeteries. Not to mention the trillions already paid soul-stultefying welfare payments.

No it's not a moral or legal obligation. It's fraud, theft and blackmail. If they want true reparations for slavery, start with their fellow Africans who sold them to slave ships.

Right, Cori, Moral And Legal Obligation spells MALO which coincidentally is the Spanish word for reparations. Ask any Mexican.

Even if we could be held liable for wrongful acts committed against long dead victims by long dead perpetrators to whom most of us bear no relationship — which is ridiculous on its face — the descendants of those victims would have to show that they were damaged to have a legal claim. They would have to show that the descendants of slaves in America are worse off financially than they would have been if their ancestors had remained in Africa. IOW, they would have to show that African blacks are better off than American blacks. If that were true, there wouldn’t be a steady stream of immigration from Africa to America. The whole idea of reparations is absurd.

There were 3700 FREE blacks who owned 12,000 slaves in America-see video.
Go back and ask Africa. THEY sold your people OR go back. Make America in Africa.
Funny how blacks in America seem to care nothing for the millions of slaves around the world today or trying to help them.

The continued strident insistence that those who never owned slaves and those who immigrated to the US after slavery was over, should be subject to paying “reparations” is a mental-dysfunction-too-far. This representative joins her fellow con artists in trying to rip off innocent Americans via the Systemic Racism lie. It’s way past time to shut this con down and actually punish the immoral folks who insist on grabbing at our hard-earned assets under demonstrably false pretenses.

Democrats were the ones that owned slaves and started the KKK. They should have to pay for their evilness. Those who fought against them should also get compensation for losses fighting against them. PAY UP!!!

I guess along those lines then reparations should be made to those soldiers and families that fought and lost their lives in the Civil War. . .

You might argue legal obligations, as the law is whatever we say it is.
But if revenge is a MORAL obligation, then start thinking about our revenge for this bullspit (because the next turn for getting even will be ours... Demned "squad" has been absolutely anti-Judeo-Christian from its very outset.

Just as a start 700,00 dead Americans 95% white and never owed another human 1861 1864. Just a guess but I would say trillions of tax and private dollars have poured into black areas for over 70 years...to no good. Whites for the last 50 years have been denied their rights in all walks of life because of AA racist programs. The list of "reparations" is too long to put here.

They already got their reparations. It was called The Great Society but they squandered what they were given. Now they're back with their grubby hands held out for more. They deserve nothing more because at this point they're just being greedy

I would rather set evertyhing I own on fire than have it be the substance of an apology for my forebears who volunteered and fought, and in one case died young to end slavery.

Reparations Blacks aren’t the only ones enslaved during our long history. What about Chinese building the railroad. Japanese put into Interment camps during the war. Scots and Irish being sold into slave labor. Indians being enslaved.
Everyone coming in now is enslaved to the cartels. They will not be free until their debt is paid
Reparations should be considered paid once they have their freedom.

Bush and all the other reparations nutjobs need to take a trip to Arlington National Cemetary and learn about its founding. Plus, they could learn a little about the Civil War and the people who started it. Reparations were paid over a 150 years ago by the 350,000 white union soldiers who died fighting to reunite the country and to end slavery.

If you want a civil war, keep pushing this.
This isn't about rights, morality or obligations. This is about free money paid for by white people, pure revenge after the fact and to keep Black Americans on the democrat plantation with promises that will never be fulfilled. So you are all wasting your time arguing with facts. Regardless, whatever amount they come up with, it won't be enough. It will never be enough. If there was a legal case to be made, they would have sued a century ago.

The concept of reparations is not her fault. The democrats are behind this. For decades they have perpetuated the myth that blacks cannot get along or succeed at anything without a government handout. AA is a govt handout. The government has told the blacks that are too stupid to get anywhere on their own. Too incompetent to advance anywhere at anything without government intervention. The outright give away of millions is what they believe is what's owed them. No one owes you anything.

Dear Rep. Bush,
Did you know your African ancestors sold their brothers into slavery? It turns out, white folk didn't charge into the African interior and rip free men from their families. Instead, black Africans enslaved fellow black Africans, dragged them to the coast, and sold them - cheaply - to slave traders waiting in ships. Even then, Black Lives Did Not Matter to blacks. Except for how much money could be made off them. Maybe this is where your reparations journey should take you.
Did you know that, by conservative estimates, there are currently twice as many living slaves in Africa than were ever brought to America? Have you considered calling for an end to this barbarianism, or is there no profit in that for you?
Did you know that, although slavery has been going on since the beginning of human history, white people were the first to formally put an end to it?
You're welcome.
Sincerely,
White People

The Obama Family Travel and Entertainment Budget alone pretty much cleaned out the reparations account by 2017. Add in the cost of what it would take to rebuild the inner cities that they've destroyed and turned into war zones, and fuhggeddaboudit.

An all-out race war would make more sense than reparations, which is simply extortion by one minority race of people against the majority race of people. If our federal government tries to impose reparations by force, it will spark a massive government do-over by the People.

#21, The Great Society was designed NOT to work. Massa Lyndon just moved the plantations from the rural South to the cities. "f you don't vote Democrat, you ain't black!"
The greatest moral obligation right now is for Cori to hold her peace.

Okay, Cori, but first let's deduct the damages to businesses in all the race riots over the past century. I'm not going to do the math, but she may just end up owing money.

It’s the Democratic Party that fought to keep blacks in chains and oppressed for hundreds of years. They should pay reparations to atone for their sins. Fortunately, Democrats are in favor of reparations so they should be happy to pay.
