I Agree.

I Disagree.

Maybe the ‘1619 Project’ Creator Should consider that she has the wrong target and should be looking to Africa for $14 Trillion in Reparations from the African Royalties that sold them into slavery?

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you weren't a slave you aren't owed reparations, if you weren't a slaver you don't owe reparations. Trying to make debts generational is never going to work.

So who should pay? The African nations, as African slave owners sold them off in the first place to the Americas? What about the Arabs or the Jews who were heavily involved in African slave trade, selling them in the first place as well?

Who pays?

[FunkyMonkee]

Exactly! It was their own kind that sold them to us!! Let THEM pay their reparations!!

[Berethor]

Nikole Hannah-Jones don't even look so black, also blacks has taken big part in slave trade.

Is THAT who that is in the picture up top? She looks like a black albino, or a black clown!! White face, curly red hair, huge red lips, all she needs is the nose and big shoes! I'm a glow-in-the-dark Irishman and I'M darker tan her when I get a tan!!

[Berethor]

She is a clown, so I guess that we can forgive her for all the nonsense that she saying. :)

Sometimes it’s not prudent to give people what they deserve, Black slaves deserve billions but no country can afford to pay that much and there are other people who need the money right now, like medically uninsured children with curable diseases.

[FunkyMonkee]

They can get theirs after I get mine!! My white ancestors were slaves LONG before theirs were!!

[FunkyMonkee]

What are they gonna do with all this money, use it to pay reparations for all the damage they did across the country in the riots a few years ago?
If black lives REALLY matter, shouldn't they use those reparations they'd get to at LEAST help out all the black lives they DESTROYED in those riots?

[KostasKouvalis]

I didn't watch that garbage, but the blacks who were actually enslaved already got an entire nation in Africa as reparations.

[QuietRunner]

I'll just deduct the amount I'm paying as a charitable tax deduction

Does the reparation count as income to be taxed?

Hopefully, they get more than $400,000 for taxes. As as person making under $400,000 I'm not paying 1 penny more in taxes as promised by President Joe Biden

[Dargil]

Probably has been paid several times over since The Great Society.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

They're owed nothing. It's time to end reparations.

[KrakenAttackin]

What she really means is that blacks will never be happy, no matter what.

[monorprise]

@KrakenAttackin
Unfortunately there is little motion for democrats ever to 'solve' the alleged 'problems' which keeps their slaves rallied behind them on their plantation.

[KrakenAttackin]

@monorprise True enough.

[Anonymous]

I think Africans should pay for it. It’s their fault to begin with.

[NewsReader]

I'm not paying for anything that is not my fault whatsoever.

[Anonymous]

Good luck with that one. But I will say this. I think we should pay reparations to any still LIVING slave.

[Jersey2]

So looking at her, how much white does she have in her? I bet it’s greater than 50%, so a majority in that minority.

I see her mother is white and I bet her father has some in him too.

[gorydetails]

I hate to break it to her, but she looks part white. She’ll be paying.

[exitseven]

She is a self serving nitwit. Anybody with half a brain would just ignore the whole thing.

[findacure4wokeness]

It's pretty hard to when so many are demanding it. Sleepy joe will be the Reparations president I'm almost certain of it.

[exitseven]

@findacure4wokeness the democrats are just pandering for votes. They are losing the black vote which was one of their big voting blocks. Promise them a million dollars apiece and they will come back. Sleep Joe will be the nursing home president.

[Anonymous]

What a joke. The sad part is that Biden will believe them.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

14 trillion? 😂 They won't see a red cent of that.
