House Democrat to Introduce Reparations
Resolution: ‘Moral and Legal Obligation’
for U.S. to Pay ‘Trillions’ of Dollars

Original Article

Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) is slated to introduce a reparations resolution this week, as she believes it is a “moral and legal obligation” for Americans. The resolution itself involves the U.S. spending “trillions” on reparations for black Americans. The resolution points to Jim Crow laws as part of the justification for the use of U.S. tax dollars going toward this effort. “This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it,” Lee said, enraged that President Donald Trump ended many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) measures with the “stroke of a pen.”

The trillions of dollars of funding for this would come from the Good Fairy, of course.

As a plain, regular American citizen, I DEMAND REPARATIONS from the Unproductive dependent-class blacks for the cost of all the productive Citizen's wealth that was transferred to the blacks via the Federal Welfare State beginning with Lyin' Lyndon Johnson and the Democ'Rat's so-called Great Society programs that were established in 1965. I also DEMAND REPARATIONS for the cost of all the crime, the cost of the additional police forces, the cost of the additional legal system, the additional correctional system that has resulted from the Unproductive population within the Black community. Productive Citizens -of all groups- have poured Trillion$ into the unproductive groups in a misguided effort to 'alleviate poverty'. Instead, what was created was a permanent Welfare State that is well on the way to bankrupting the Nation, while the unproductive population grows unchecked. Consider that before the Welfare State, the black population in the US had a higher rate of intact families than the white population, and were gaining on the white population in wealth. The creation of the Welfare State, and specifically the providing of Free Cash, but ONLY if there was no Man in the household, has resulted in the destruction of black families on an Industrial scale. As a broken family is the surest indicator of poverty, this epidemic of broken families has resulted in increased poverty. Headstrong young black males growing up without the firm had of a Father on their shoulder to guide them has resulted in horrific increases in Crime, and the destruction of the central parts of most of the cities in the US. So Yes, I DEMAND REPARATIONS! From the Unproductive blacks, and from the Leftist Democ'RATS that created this Welfare State that is destroying our beloved America.

Wake up House republicans. You need to slap these hateful democrats down. No one in this country, who was born here and lives here, deserves reparations for what happened over 150 years ago. Hundreds of thousands of white men died to free the slaves in the Civil War. They were enslaved in Africa and sold to the slave traders. I'm seriously tired of blacks today whining and complaining all the time and oddly, it's the ones that are wealthy and prominent in society.

You weren't a slave and I wasn't a slave owner. And no one you ever MET was a slave, or a slave owner. Those people died out a century ago, and there have been laws against slavery for 165 years, about two human lifetimes, three for many people. Give it up, GRIFTERS, that scam is dead and buried 165 years ago.

And again, the definition of reparations...Taking money from me, someone who has never owned a slave, giving it to you, someone who has never been a slave, so you will vote for democrats. BTW...even if we went collectively insane and voted to do this, do Blacks think they will see one thin dime of this money? No, it will be given to community organizations, NGO and spent as they see fit after of course, the 'rats skim 90% of it to their off shore bank accounts.

How many trillion$ have we spent on “entitlements” since the mid 1960s? Twenty-five? Thirty? More? I’d say that we’ve already payed reparations and if those grifters aren’t satisfied, they’re free to leave the country.

Not only have I never owned a slave, none of my ancestors going back three to four generations did, either. They came to America after the end of the Civil War. I was born to dirt-poor parents who themselves were born into dirt-poor circumstances. I've busted my butt for every dollar I've ever made, and I'm not about to hand a red penny of any of them over to anyone for "reparations" for things no one in my family tree ever did. Rep. Summer can stick her bill up her posterior.

Collect by force and spend trillions in tax payer monies for blacks? Done did, to the detriment of black families and urban dwellers of all races. In return the taxpayers of this country get "public servants" like Lee, Crockett, and Waters for an astronomically negative Return on Investment.

She is sitting in Congress collecting her share of reparations right now as far as I am concerned. Isn't it wonderful that the Congressional Black caucus is filled with these morons. fact is if we gave reparations the next generation would want them again, and then the next generation and the next. One thing that is certain about blacks they never give up asking.

Another unhappy black woman with a big, demanding mouth (yawn). Will we ever run out of them? If life was fair, the ancestors of the tribal chieftains in Africa who sold their least useful members to the slave traders on Madagascar would be the ones paying reparations, not whites who never owned slaves and never wanted to. If you ever took a history class you would realize that your entire race in America was replaced by a machine called the Cotton Gin that separated cotton seeds from cotton. If you hate anybody it should be Eli Whitney.

ABU DHABI — President Trump’s show-stopping trip to the Middle East — complete with lavish welcomes, diplomatic breakthroughs and business deals worth an estimated $2 trillion — have left even Democrats favorably comparing him to former President Joe Biden, whose fading cognitive abilities and lack of “stamina” are being blamed for preventing similar accomplishments. “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when the president isn’t f–king brain dead,” a senior congressional Democratic aide told The Post Thursday. “This whole Middle East trip shows [that] for a lot of these negotiations, you do really need somebody who has that energy and level-headedness,” one high-ranking Biden White House aide confided.

The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president. Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year. The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.

During Supreme Court oral arguments in the Trump v.

The case centers around whether lower courts can issue sweeping injunctions that block federal policies nationwide, even when only a handful of plaintiffs are before the court. Representing the United States, Solicitor General D.

But you’d be wrong. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showed up prepared to discuss budgets, programs, and patient care. Instead, he was met with a political drive-by by Sen. Patty Murray,

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to approve a sweeping package of minimum wage increases for workers in the tourism industry, despite objections from business leaders who warned that the region is already facing a slowdown in international travel. The proposal, billed by labor leaders as the highest minimum wage in the country, would require hotels with more than 60 rooms, as well as companies doing business at Los Angeles International Airport, to pay their workers $30 per hour by 2028. That translates to a 48% hike in the minimum wage for hotel employees over three years. Airport workers
