Back in January of 2017, Democrats introduced legislation demanding reparations for slavery. Michigan Rep. Bill Conyers has introduced such a bill every congressional session for the past two decades without success — but he doesn’t appear deterred. Conyers may pre-date the Black Lives Matter movement, but he seems to agree with them in principle. They both believe that nothing white people have is rightfully theirs, and that white money should be redistributed to African-American citizens.
This idea has caught on among America’s professors — because of course, it has. They latch onto any liberal cause, and this policy is the latest trend among the far-left.
See how one Georgetown professor thinks Americans should pay for reparations on the next page:
Daaa, he went to the same college as the Obama’s.
Thought so
Careful what you wish for, beware of sleeping bear!!!
You are a racist sir and no one owes you anything.
1st slave owner in America was a black man named Anthony Johnson in the 1600’s which sued the colonies to be allowed to own a slave who was a black person. This opened the door to slavery in America.
2/3 of slaves from Africa were sold into slavery by black slave traders in Africa which were muslim by the way.
Less that 2% of Americans ever owned slaves.
14% of free blacks owned slaves, YES there were rich free black in America that owned slaves.
There were approximately 319,599 free blacks in the United States in 1830. Approximately 13.7 per cent of the total black population was free. A significant number of these free blacks were the owners of slaves. The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves.
There were 7 black senators in southern states in the 1800’s. The first female millionaire was a black woman in the 1800’s.The question is WHY didn’t you know these things? Why are powerful, influential black citizens in Civil War era US. history kept a secret?
50% of white Americans fought and died to free the slaves including my ancestors as I was from the north
No one alive today is owed anything from something that occurred over 150 years ago.
Over 20% of blacks in America today do not have ancestors that were slave as they are descendants from people who immigrated here after 1865.
Over 30% of whites in America came from ancestors that immigrated here after 1865 and never owned slaves.
A large portion of people in America today immigrated through Ellis Island which was way after slavery ended.
As I said up to 14% of FREE blacks in America before 1865 owned slaves so would be funny if you tracked your linage back and found out either you have no ancestors in America that were slaves or you find out your slave owner was a black man?
Blacks make up 14%+/ of the population in America yet they make up 38% of the prison population for violent crimes.
The VAST majority of blacks being killed today are NOT from police but from black on black violence.
Do I think the black community is being given a raw deal? YES but not from your fellow Americans and not by the Police although I will concede that there are “some” bad cops out there.
Did you know that cops kill far more white people than black people? LOOK IT UP – USE GOOGLE AND LEARN.
Anway the community is being given a raw deal by the Democrats that want to keep poor people both black and white poor and on social programs so the poor continue to vote democrat.
First Republican president was Abraham Lincoln. Conservative were the ones that opposed slavery and the Democratic Party was in favor of slavery. The Democratic party also founded the KKK and fought to keep segregation. Sure the conservatives want to end handouts but instead offer hand ups. We want to better poor people’s way of life not keep them hooked on welfare like a drug. The Democrats have always been the poors enemy they just do it with candy so it looks like they are the good guy. Like the drug dealer on the playground, this one’s free.
America is not your enemy and most definitely not the American flag which represent many brave men both black and white that fought and died so you have the freedom you have today.
If America was so bad why are so MANY – TOO MANY people wanting to come here from Africa? In fact MILLIONS of black people are still slaves in Africa today mostly under the Islamic faith which allows slavery. Once again look it up.
But hundreds of thousands of brave black soldiers died defending that flag, from the war of independence, yes a few blacks fought in that war, through the civil war where lots of black fought (on both sides), in WWI, and WWII, in fact in WWII one of the bravest and best air squadrons was made up of all black officers.
The Red Tail Squadron was an black squadron and they KICKED$#%&!@*as the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII. Every bomber squadron wanted them covering them on bombing runs into Germany.
This is your country dude, white people owe the back community nothing except the respect of a fellow citizen. Do you really want to continue to divide and tear this country down? Where will your kids grow up? Look around the world and pick a country you think is better? Not many if any at all?
Can things be better? – SURE but we can not get there through HATE and VIOLENCE. Martin Luther King would be so pissed off right now at whats going on.
Read about some of the brave black men through history and their sacrifices they made to protect that flag that you and many others are turning their back on. So sad.

Whites are already paying into Obamacare!!
Apparently he doesnt teach English
F**k off
Go be evil, racist and pompous somewhere else. We’re not buying you garbage.
My entire family (both sides) was not even in the USA before 1910, and slavery was abolished way before then….so this guy can suck a fatty.
