Reparations don't have to be in the form of just money they can be in the form of EQUALITY!

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Equality of opportunity is the goal, not equality of outcome. Equality of outcome results in everyone being equally poor. As in Venezuela (except the Socialist leaders, they appear to be doing well).

Warren did not say she was pro reparations. Only that due to all the conversation going on, it is time to have a serious discussion about it. Reparations are far too complicated to settle. I don't think it is possible. But talking about it is reasonable.

They got them from Germans who enslaved them and murdered them by the millions.
America paid dearly to end slavery giving up 620,000 lives and the costs of rebuilding an entire nation. The debt was paid a very long time ago.
We elected a black President with an Islamic name only a few short years ago. The notion that racism is prevalent and still no better than in 1865 is asinine, a lie and lacks even the most basic common sense.

I think we should do an electoral college 2.0. First off, replace all those electors with just points. No need to worry if an elector is going to do his own thing anymore. Second, distribute the electoral points of each state proportional to the percent of the vote won in that state. This will encourage candidates to campaign in non-swing states rather than completely focusing on only a few states.

No, it doesn't work for Senators. Originally, Senators were elected by State assemblies and we should go back to that. The majority of U.S. citizens are banned from voting for individual senators. If, as you claim, you don't believe in States rights or representation, ... then you should be consistent and true to your principles ... and call for the abolishing of the Senate.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
