Kamala Harris' ancestors were slave owners. So does she ***GET*** reparations or ***PAY*** them?

[RingOfFire]

Oh yeah it's true. Bet you never even heard of it if all you watch is the Democrat fake news.

Boy this reparations stuff gets confusing! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Et tu, Brute?

Kamala Harris ancestor was slave owner in Jamaica, her father says

[NaultD]

Last i heard Jamaica isn't apart of the United States of America. The whole point is "did the United States of America live up to its own standards that itself created?" If the United States of America didn't meet its standards then it should make up for its failings to do so now.

Bla bla bla.

Black Africans invented slavery and sold other blacks to white people and other blacks to be slaves all over the world. Black Africans have been practicing slavery for thousands of years. In fact it's one of the few places in the world that is still doing it on a widescale basis to this day.

Slavery was everywhere. America is where slavery came TO DIE.

[NaultD]

It's the cost of being the greatest country to ever exist.

[RingOfFire]

People who were never slaves are not entitled to anything from people who never had anything to do with slavery. Two wrongs don't make a right. It will never happen.

[NaultD]

It's not a person but the United States of America government. It is the same entity since it was created.

[NaultD]

It's like war bonds or even stolen property from the United States of America. Any war bond from USA union will be honored today. If you get your hands on stolen property from USA that is 200 years old and the government will take that property amd could charge you with possession of stolen government property.

"It's not a person but the United States of America government."

You're kidding right? Who do you think the government confiscates the money from? Or does it grow on trees?

[NaultD]

Like i said war bonds and stolen property. It's the same entity since 1776 and no different to today and into the future. The bodys representing body of the United States of America and the bodys today need to uphold that promise. If we do not up hold our words we might as well rip up the construction our word holds zero meaning.

[RingOfFire]

And who pays the money to pay the bonds back? You are seriously lacking an understanding of how the government pays for things. It CONFISCATES the money from ordinary working people who are already struggling to pay their bills, NOT ONE OF THEM who ever had a thing to do with slavery. You want to MAKE THEM slaves to the government. Great proposal.

[NaultD]

Ya it's tax and we should have better tax laws robbing the rich blind. What else do they do other then extend stays on epstein island?

[NaultD]

Like some robben hood stuff.

[NaultD]

Let's be honest you'd suck off elon musk before giving a dime to a minority. What's your Twitter account with that sucked off blue check mark?

[Guanfei]

Even slaves had family, or ancestors, who owned slaves back in Africa, where slavery was a pretty common practice.

So how do we solve that? Do they get reparations, or do they pay it?

In my opinion, there's only one way to do it: only pay reparations to slaves. So basically no one.

No one alive today was ever a slave, no more than anyone alive was a slave owner. No one deserve reparation and no one deserve to pay.

[Anonymous]

Many black people were slave owners, and white slavery was a bigger enterprise worldwide than black slavery ever was. No one deserves reparations now for something that happened 9 generations ago. If that were true, we'd all be entitled to them for something that happened to our collective ancestors.

[RingOfFire]

You are very wise. My ancestors were slaves for hundreds of years and are the most persecuted people in history. I wouldn't accept a penny taken from innocent people who had nothing to do with it. I would consider that outrageous and immoral.

[OddBeMe]

No one pays moron. Govts take the same amount of taxes as usual. From you? Can’t tax unemployment.

dnc voting for kamila was horrible racism.
