Elizabeth Warren endorses reparations for slavery

Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced her support for slavery reparations for black Americans, according to a report from The New York Times on Thursday.

The 2020 presidential candidate became the rare politician to endorse the proposal, which is estimated to cost trillions of dollars. Warren endorsed the proposal, but did not explain how she would pay for it, or give any additional details.

“We have to be honest that people in this country do not start from the same place or have access to the same opportunities,” Warren told The Times. “I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities.”

Earlier this month, one of Warren’s Democratic primary opponents, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, said she supports “some type of” reparations. The two senators’ recent statements signal a shift left on this issue for prospective Democratic contenders. Both Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former President Barack Obama have both come out against the idea of slavery reparations.

Recent polling has shown Warren trailing other leading Democratic primary contenders, including Sanders and Harris.

Reparations should come from the African tribes that sold these ancestors into
slavery, and /or the European countries that bought them - 400 years ago.

Not laid into the laps of modern-day Americans. Time to get past this bullshit.

Go back in our History, at least since the 60's, and nearly every Presidential Candidate from the Democrat, Liberal side....has promised Black DEMOCRAT voters that they Would Get What They Were OWED???? It's just another Socialist trick to convince the UNDER-EDUCATED who always vote for FREE STUFF to vote for Her, or THEM (all Democrat Liars)

Slavery saved Blacks from starvation and savagery. Americans, especially Conservatives, have nothing to apologize for. We are forced to meet these upper-class race traitors halfway with weasel statements like, "That's ancient history; blame our forefathers. Or not, because the science showing they were misjudging the difference between races hadn't been invented yet."

My parents came here (legally) from Italy in 1955 .... 90 years after the Civil War ended

(They also became citizens, paid taxes, assimilated, learned English... and had jobs, and never broke the law...but that’s another topic)

While slavery was an institution in this country, my ancestors were dirt poor peasants trying to keep body and soul together in the Italian countryside.

I can assure you that neither I nor any of my ancestors owned slaves.

So, if Elizabeth Warren thinks we should pay reparations for slavery, I think me and my family’s share is $0.00. We don’t owe anybody anything. Pocahontas Warren and Kamala Harris can both go jump in a lake.


Guess what????? MOST PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME HERE AFTER THE CIVIL WAR! They don’t owe any blacks a cent, either.

ON THE OTHER HAND....

Let’s factor in the taxes I’ve paid since 1978... of which at least $100K was for food stamps, welfare, and other social programs benefitting blacks....

Likewise, My family probably paid an additional $250K since 1955 for the same programs that benefit blacks....

So the way I see it, me and my family are entitled to reparations from black people...

Tell them to send the checks to me and my family by the end of the month

While they’re at it, they can pay back the 5 Trillion dollars that the American Taxpayer spent since 1965 on the War On Poverty which also benefitted them

So that’s how I see reparations

Slavery still exists today.... and where would that be? A-F-R-I-C-A

My mom's family came from what was now Germany in the 1700's.
Family tree was lost prior to the Revolution. We have one Seneca woman
in the family tree.
My Dad's from Austria in 1898.
Dad's is solid.

Do I owe reparations?

I'll give them a nickle and tell them to get an education or a job.
Otherwise go the hell back to Africa.

African-American is a lie. It is an excuse.

Well, she is ​of African descent.

Yes, but Kamala Harris’s father is Jamaican. Perhaps his ancestors were slaves under the British but not under the Americans. Her share if reparations should be paid amounts to $0.00 too. Perhaps she should demand reparations from Great Britain.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[High_Plains_Drifter]

OK... give reparations to any black LIVING that was a SLAVE, otherwise, not one single black deserves jack shit. They've already cashed in and raked this society over the coals with all their Affirmative Action, quotas and assorted other freebies and special treatment like no other race has gotten. I mean, if that isn't already getting reparations then what is? Now they can go pound sand. Suck it up, go to school, learn something, and then get off your ass and WORK, like the REST of us do, the FREEBIE TRAIN has LEFT THE STATION. No one cares if you're BLACK, but they DO care if all you want to do is cry RACISM and expect that to get you FREE STUFF.

These leftist shit stain politicians like Pocahontas think this sort of BS talk will BUY them votes. If I was a black person, I'd be insulted that she figures I'm STUPID enough to vote for her just because she's promising me money that I DON'T DESERVE, and more than likely would NEVER, EVER get.

How much does she think she can give them anyway, they each get a check for $1.25 or what? Warren is as DISHONEST and a shyster as she is STUPID and UGLY.

[KarlMarx]

Reparations will do absolutely nothing to increase the economic standing of Blacks...

It is just another wealth redistribution scheme

Blacks have serious issues... the disintegration of the Black family being one. Oddly enough this started in the 1960s with the War On Poverty which gave black women the economic motivation to have children out of wedlock (free welfare to single moms).

Actually, I am good with "reparations" on the condition that if a person signs up to receive reparations, they are automatically sent back to where ever the majority of their DNA says they come from....
And I am not just talking about blacks either....

I’ve said this before, but if this happens, then the descendants of anyone who fought for the Union in the Civil War should get reparations. Every descendant. Whether that soldier was wounded, killed, or went home intact. Who knows what they could have accomplished financially if they could have stayed home and tended the farm, kept both legs and arms, etc. If we are going to go back in time to determine what people deserve, let’s do it for everyone.

So those whose ancestors came here before the Civil War are guilty of some heinous crime? There was nothing wrong with slavery; it was the only way for the unfit to survive without forcing the fit to exterminate them in order to ensure their own survival.

Quit using the required answers; you're giving the plutocratic Whiteys Hating Whiteys a foundation to build on. Their anti-majority class should collapse and crumble. Zero Tolerance for the racial-equality myth, or we will be the ones who won't survive and all the wealth that finances even deserved benefits will disappear along with us.

Typical of appeasing Conservatives who politicize it by preaching that Blacks were corrupted by Liberal programs and would have become productive and law-abiding under Conservative ones. No wonder Republicans can't get enough Whites to vote for them. Because Liberals are actually your own sons or sons' elitist-college classmates, you're afraid to say that genetic racial inferiority is an obvious fact. Of course, you usually get banned for that statement on this controlled Internet.

Lincoln sent Americans to kill their fellow Americans on behalf of Africans. And Republicans still idolize him. We need a revolution to overthrow the duopoly that has treated us with contempt throughout our history.

Descendants of anyone who fought for the Union freed them. Look how well THAT's worked out. Y'all can pay them.

For me, and STILL LIVING former slave is entitled to compensation from any or all STILL LIVING former slave owner. Otherwise, I never owned any. In my lifetime blacks have have gone from having less Rights to having more Rights than I do. They are grossly misrepresented and their presence in Congress is extremely exaggerated in comparison to their actual percentage of the population.

They are divisive, self-serving, feel entitled all based on the racism THEY keep alive. I see no reason for the US taxpayer to fund their quest for lives on Easy Street.

BTW, anyone besides me notice in the news that not only have whites been disenfranchised by blacks in South Africa justified by "payback", but now they (whites) cannot leave the country once dispossessed. Blacks ran a viable government into the ground because they don't have a clue what they are doing, and now won't let disenfranchised whites leave because they need them to fix it. Guess who the slaves are now?

We've put ourselves on the same list.

These two people have flourished, and enjoyed their riches off the backs of Black Americans since the days when Martin Luther King was alive...trying to bring Americans together.

Jesse and Al (notso) Sharpton would lose all of their fame, and declare Bankruptcy if the RACE PROBLEMS were solved.
