    he former president claimed that a reparations proposal didn’t make its way through the lawmaking process during his presidency due to "the politics of White resistance and resentment."

    "And what I saw during my presidency was the politics of White resistance and resentment. The talk of 'welfare queens' and the talk of the 'undeserving' poor. And the backlash against affirmative action," Obama said.

    "All that made the prospect of actually proposing any kind of coherent, meaningful reparations program struck me as, politically, not only a nonstarter but potentially counterproductive."

    REP. BURGESS OWENS: 'UNFAIR AND HEARTLESS' FOR DEMOCRATS TO RAISE BLACK AMERICANS' HOPES FOR REPARATIONS

    Obama went on to say it was "perfectly understandable why working-class White folks, middle-class White folks, folks who are having trouble paying the bills or dealing with student loans, wouldn't be too thrilled" about the prospect of "a massive program that is designed to deal with the past but isn't speaking to their future."

    Obama appears to have changed his position on reparations over the years. He opposed reparations during his 2008 presidential campaign, arguing that "the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed."
    Everything he said in 2008 to get elected was a LIE to get elected!

    He's a hardcore leftist and luvvvvs him some Muslims.

    So slaves were master builders and engineers? I guess that blows the whole slavery thing right out of the water then. They had it real good with that kind of an education! No reparations for YOU! You are one dumb mother fucker. You do realize that 99% of the people in HERE cant read prints either right? I mean REALLY read them not just get a simple measurement off them....

    we did Affirmative Action to help those alive now who may still be disadvantaged 150-175 years later

    This is is more of Progressive noise to re-write history like the NYTimes 1619 project
    America is irredeemable racist construct (1619 Project) -so just pay us off and slink away while we re-write history.

    Another facet of our ongoing Cultural Revolution ( and you know how that worked out!)
    The schools are steadily churning out little Red Guards in many places.

    Obama's not even a Black American.

    His mom was a crazy Commie white woman and his dad was from Africa.

    He has not experienced Black American culture much.

    What black people did Trump kill?

    I started seeing more black people having decent jobs while Trump was president.

    Now Biden's gonna be having the illegals take those jobs away from real Americans.

    That takes food directly off my friends' tables.

    I don't like that. I have black people work with me sometimes, but I won't hire an illegal.

    Hearings are currently being held for the reparations legislation. The bill, which has been around for years, does not provide for reparations but creates a commission to study the issue.

    The first case was an American who travelled to China and then came back here.

    So it wasn't China that gave us our 1st COVID case, it was an American who travelled to China, was infected there, and then brought it to the US.

    So China didn't give us COVID, we gave it to ourselves.

    Obama??? What did he do? who is he?

    LIFE IS SHORT - SMILE WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TEETH.

    we must all learn to hear what we do not like - the questions is not, "is it pleasant?" but, "is it true?"

    If you are a descendant of Union Soldiers that may have lost a limb or life in the Civil War, do YOU pay?
    If you are a descendant of a Black slave holder, do you get something ... because you are 'Black'?
    It gets worse than that. If your ancestors (or even you) immigrated to the US post 1865, do you pay? Should anyone who is "Black" or whatever that immigrated to the US post 1865-ish be given "reparations?" What about Blacks or other minorities who were here pre-1865 that were never slaves to begin with? What about those who might have been slaves but never were by escaping, etc.?

    The problem here is that those being rewarded were never slaves themselves, and many may not even have ancestors who were. At the same time, those who were never slave holders / owners would be forced to pay these reparations for something they didn't do, and their ancestors likely never did either. What kind of totally fucked up system of injustice would allow something like that to occur?

    Would Obama be eligible for such reparations being the son of a White woman and a Black Kenyan who wasn't a US citizen?

    Extremely easy to justify. Arguments are very simple to erect, taking them out are simple to rebut.

    Here's a quick salvo: If people can inherit wealth, (a sacred institution), how can you argue the wealth disparity created by racism in the past should not be corrected by wealth transfer today.

    I'll be waiting, peons.

    Easy, even the poorer blacks are much richer than if they stayed in Africa. Also it was black tribes that sold the slaves so quite rightly they should pay reparations. Lastly only slaves and their immediate descendants should receive them.
