Now, this may not be a popular opinion, but I think that reparations are a great idea. If the government enforced laws that made you a slaves, you should get paid.
THERE IS JUST ONE PROBLEM … THERE ARE NO FREAKING SLAVES IN THE US, AND THERE HAVE NO BEEN FOR NEARLY 200 YEARS!
The history of humanity is oppression, slavery, murder, genocide and conquest. This is nothing new and certainly nothing uniquely ‘white’.
White people are just, apparently, the first ones to feel guilty about it. I would be ashamed if my ancestors owned slaves … but they didn’t. And seeing as I didn’t inherit a plantation, you can GFYS when it comes to my income.
This isn’t stopping some supremely stupid leftists from trying to bankrupt their jurisdiction and destroy the work ethic and marker forces for yet ANOTHER generation of black Americans.
If I had a dollar for every black life the Dems tied to mess up, I would be able to afford to pay the bill for this legislation … seriously.
The Gateway Pundit is reporting:
‘Democrat state senators in Oregon have introduced legislation to pay black Oregonians $123,000 in reparations.
The bill would have the Department of Revenue establish a reparations payment program to residents “who can demonstrate heritage in slavery” and have identified as “African-American” for at least ten years.
The Daily Wire reports that “according to a copy of the state Senate bill, the government will pay six figures to any person who can demonstrate that they are a descendant of American slaves and have “identified as African-American” on legal documents.”
In order to qualify for the reparations, a person must live state for at least two years before the application deadline of Dec. 31, 2022.
“The payment would be an annuity where recipients would receive $123,000 paid out over the course of their life, plus interest,” the Daily Wire report says. “The average black man has a lifespan of 75 years, so if a 30-year-old black man applies for the reparations program he would receive a yearly payment of approximately $2,733 per year from the Oregonian government. If the recipient receives a five percent interest rate on the reparations money, they could receive up to $2,870 per year.”’
Find me a man or woman who was a slave in Oregon and I will gladly help raise the money to help them get back on their feet. Oh, the person has to be alive, I don’t do resurrections.
Welcome to the clown world, America.
