#1 I am "debt" free, even got a little back on my 2018 Federal tax return. I would strongly encourage Ms. Williamson to seize the moment and pay as much reparation as she can afford.

Hitching a ride on the Holocaust express, very tiring. Very tiring indeed.

#2 Descendants of Union Civil War troops would be exempt? And people like Obama wouldn't qualify. We'd need to calculate the percent of slave ancestry, or go with the 'one drop black is black' rule, or to be non-racist, the 'one drop white is white' variant.

#3 Reparations won't end everything but it will be a profound gift.

...Or in other words, this is where the demands start.

#4 Here's a loincloth and a ticket to Africa. You're now whole. Leave your passport on the ticket counter as receipt.

#5 The goal is not reparations. The goal is power.

#6 She says she owes someone reparations for slavery? Who did she own? And why isn't she in prison for it?

#7 Who is she? I don't think I've ever heard of this occupant of the clown car before.

Look toots, none of my ancestors were here back then and we don't owe you jack. So go suck a lemon.

#8 That would be slavery and segregation maintained and supported by the Democratic Party. Why should America pay for the crimes of one party when the other party freed the slaves at tremendous human cost? It's your sin not ours.

Reparations embodies both sides of the lefty "by association" coin. All whites are guilty by association, even if it can be conclusively proved none of their ancestors were in any way involved in slavery. All blacks are victims, even if they were slavers themselves. And don't even start to try to figure out where muzz slavers fit in then or now.

#12 What's with the "we", white woman?!? Besides, I claim exemption under the "corruption of blood" clause of the Constitution.

#13 NO
It is a debt ONLY the democrat party owes.

Go fuck off and die in fire.

#15 How many whites came in the waves of immigrants after the civil war? How many whites came from Northern states and never had slaves. How many blacks came to the US after slavery was abolished. How many blacks owned slaves. How do you handle folks that fit multiple categories. Why should Asian and latino americans have their tax dollars used for this?

Lots of issues with no answers beyond the idea is stupid.

#16 I lost 4 ancestors at Gettysburg (3 Infantry and 1 Calvary) and 2 at Antietam (both Infantry). Also eight more in other lesser battles during the Civil War.

Scottish/Welsh and New Yorkers all.

Bite me, Marianne.

#18 The primary reason I have always been against the whole reparations is 15 to 20 years down the road we'll have a whole new generation screaming "where be my 'perations"
