Thought Reparations have been going on for the last four years?

PAYBACK.....for voting for Obama !!!

Git me so mo free stuff !

John Conyers, D. Mich. is third in line for ignorance behind Hank Johnson, D. GA, and John Lewis, D. GA.

Actually Mr. Conyers your folks have been getting reparations for 50+ years. Each now owes the taxpayer $1,782,339.00 for overpayment.

More blacks have come here through immigration than from slavery, do they get ´reparations´?.

My ancestors were never slave holders. Some of my ancestors were abolitionsits.
Countless immigrants of european descent came to this country after the repeal of slavery, who were completely innocent. So are all their descendents. So why must we pay for the misdeeds of those who lived before 1865? Two injustices can never make a right.

No! Absolutely not! These people are not ex-slaves and will never stop with the guilt trip. Give in and open the flood gates of there being no such thing as enough.

Maybe reparations for white victims of black-committed violent crimes? Is there enough money in the Treasury? Take it out of Al Sharpton´s MSNBC paycheck.

What both Cheney and Boehner said to Democrats...in spades.

what about all the "indentured servants that were "slaves" from Ireland, england and other European countries, that after 7 years of labor where suppose to be freed from their indentured servitude, but ended up slaves for life due to having to pay for food, board, and other living expenses and where never able to pay off their original debt.
reparations my butt, maybe this idiot should go back to where the original slave holders where that sold slaves live and go after them... you know other African tribes in Africa

The United States of America began on July 4, 1776. Between 1619 and 1776 the British were in control. Thus, reparations during that period should be paid by the British.

A few questions. Spain brought the first Africans here as slaves. Will they be forced to pay reparations? England, France, Holland? There were slaves in the colonies they owned. My grandmothers were both 30 years old before they got the right to vote. So before 1918, women had absolutely no say in what went on in this country. Anyone who has a woman as an ancestor should be exempt from paying reparations. How much money are we talking about? And will the money go directly to descendants of slaves or to ´community activists´ which means it goes directly into democrat party coffers.

One of the major things that historians cite as bad about slavery is the fact that occasionally fathers were sold apart from their families. That was, indeed, horrible. However, they at least knew who the father was (these days not so much) and families were sometimes reunited. Slaves got food, housing, clothes and medical treatment for which they were expected to do hard work. Sounds just like welfare recipients(of any color)today except the hard work is no longer a requirement. Many modern urban black people are still nothing more than slaves to the democrats for whom they vote. My tax dollars support them, therefore I am the one who should get reparations.

This kind of thing is incredibly toxic. It tends to confirm the very worst, ugliest stereotypes. Conyers may or may not be winning votes for himself by such irresponsible proposals; he is assuredly tearing at and further damaging an already frayed social fabric.

Obama has already started reparations with the $1 billion (so far) paid out to tens of thousands of blacks who claimed that they wanted to be farmers but that the Dept of Agriculture didn´t take seriously. The pigs came to the trough in Pigford I and Pigford II, and Obama was happy to feed them with few if any questions asked.

Sharks (Blacks) still follow ships (whites),
“to this day across the Atlantic,” looking for people (money)
that have been thrown overboard.

What about all the muslim slave traders?
Can we just confiscate all the oil in Saudi and tax the heck out of Iran to pay for slavery.
Hey, bam´s grand pappy was a slave trader. Just charge the kenyan idiot boy---he gots lots of money now bro.

Going to hell in a hand basket !

Find me a living ex American slave and I will consider reparations. Otherwise the billions we have thrown at the black community is more than enough.

So go raise money for it privately, you [pre-deleted].

I never owned a slave. My family was in Europe when slaves were held here. All former US slave-holders are dead. All former US slaves are dead.

Why not just pull on a mask and pull out a gun, you thief? And if you want some money from my wallet, just stick your greedy, thieving hand in my pocket.

Look, if you want a war, why not say so?

... and dock Conyers´ paycheck for the money this is wasting.

This is what permeates their brain 24/7. Get over it, John.

This idea is so stupid and racist that, for once, I have no words! I hate this Congress as they are intentionally taking us down the path of ruin! Make no mistake; Obama could not accomplish his policies of destroying the Constitution without Congressional approval! Damn these people!

Today´s Democrat party does more harm to blacks in America than anything.

#11, I would argue that the date is 1787, the ratification of the Constitution. Prior to that we were no more than an upstart colony of the Crown, making our way TOWARDS a Country.

But I am all for Reparations: Seeing as how it has ALWAYS been the Democrats who defended the institution of slavery, gave us Bull Connor, The KKK, Jum Crow, Al Gore´s Dad who owns the longest fillibuster on record AGAINST the Civil Rights Act, Welfare etc......each and every Democrat should be stripped of their citizenship and deported.
TODAY.

The Democrat Party was the party of the Slave Owner.

Democrats included their support for slavery and the expansion of slavery in their party platform.

Democrats tore our nation in two and went to WAR in DEFENSE of slavery.

After failing in war, Democrats founded and controlled the Ku Klux Klan as their party´s domestic terrorism wing.

Democrats gave us Jim Crow.

Democrats gave us the Poll Tax.

Democrats turned dogs and hoses on the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

It was Democrat Governor George Wallace who blocked black students from entering the schoolhouse door.

I think the Democrat Party owes reparations to Black America, as well as a formal apology.

The Republican Party was founded by fifty men determined to END SLAVERY.

We ALL knew this one was coming. And now that Conman has put it out there, the NBC/MSNBC cretins will run with it from here. Then the rest of the MSM will pile on and ´presto´ we will then have a genuine "issue" to be debated at the highest levels of government. And somethng for

OOPS.
And something for PIAPS to run on in 2016.

I think reparations should be paid by every white American ... born before 1865.

Ridiculous, of course.

So instead, maybe every white American alive today should pay reparations to every person born a slave before 1865?

This isn´t worth a comment! He is 83! It can´t be much longer! Hopefully some of these DemoRATS who are long in tooth will begin droping like flys!

John Conyers wants to re-introduce slavery here in the US?

Because that is what would have to be done first, for any former slave to get reparations.

The SLAVES would get the reparations, not the descendents of the slaves. Except perhaps in certain households of a certain religion, there is no slavery in the US.

Shar´ia law, however DOES permit the keeping of slaves, and even provides some very precise rules pertaining to the care and treatment of slaves. But nowhere is there mention of reparations for former slaves.

American blacks should be on their knees thanking God that their ancestors were slaves. Otherwise, instead of free housing, food, utilities, medical care and 0bamaphones, they´d be squatting in the jungle eating termite larvae, dying of AIDS or being hacked up by machete courtesy of a neighboring tribe. Or they would be enslaved by Muslims.

Conyers, isn´t he married to a woman who was (probably still is) on the Detroit city council and got indicted and maybe even jailed for something? I vaguely remember it being related to money laundering.

This is ludicrous legislation. My grandfather came from Italy in 1904.

Dems just can´t give up the victim card.

So, your great, great, great, great grandfather was a slave in America? I DON´T CARE! Got that, La Kweesha? I don´t give a big, fat, furry rat´s ass. That was grandpappy´s bad luck. We all have our misfortunes. Go scrooooo yourself.

Why don´t we acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of the Magic Negro.

Note: As the the use of that term: He and Conyers etc. cannot expect to get away with their blatantly Marxist schemes for our once-great republic without having the victims rub their mugs in it any way we can.

Great idea! As soon as Conyers finds any living American who was a slave or indentured servant under U.S. government regulations, then that person certainly deserves reparations.

Oh, you say they are all dead now???? Then it is time to "Move On".

Thought all this kind of racial talk was gonna stop with the election of the first post-racial President? oh well, maybe during the second term s/off

What #12 said!

For the love of G-d, would you give it up ?
We spent years trying to be equal and for a long time we were all Americans, now it´s a free for all. Zippy has set this country back 50 years. Pigford has started an avalanche.

If you can find a living slave and you can find the owner, get back to US.

Never does this group acknowlege anything but African slaves. How ignorant.
