    Is anyone (on here) in favor of reparations for descendants of slaves?

    That is a hard question, as it would be difficult to define which country
    would receive such reparations, and the governments that supported slavery haven’t been around for more than a century.

    Here's another closely related question:

    I'm a democratic candidate running for president, and I need like all of
    the
    black votes. How do I get em? How can I use them all as tools, and then disappoint them later by not delivering results?


    Politicians being politicians. It’s impressive how many people buy this nonsense.

    Elizabeth Warren is one of them who wants reparations. She can't
    live with
    herself for all the enslaving she's been doing.

    But she is a Native American.

    She claimed to be, but that was apparently disproven. I suppose in
    this day and age everybody has some smidgen of every race in them
    someplace - even the most rabid racists almost undoubtedly have a
    black - or Jewish - ancestor someplace in their family tree.

    You have a valid point! Elizabeth Warren HATES valid points.

    The most rabid racists are often 99% black.
