A House Democrat who introduced a resolution calling for the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on reparations for Black Americans says there won’t be an income cap for receiving the payout.You can read her resolution here.All Black Americans would qualify for reparations because, regardless of their current economic status, their ancestors suffered the indignity of slavery, said the resolution’s author, Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.
Whereas, in other countries, including South Africa, Canada, Colombia, and others, poorly designed reparations proc- esses have not only failed to bring complete justice, but have created new forms of harm;You might think that complete justice would also consider how Blacks have damaged. No, of course not. That is not considered, or Blacks would never be able to pay.

If the Democrats want to pursue this, I would give them my blessing, as it will shield the country from more of their racial bigotry and racism and ensure they continue to lose elections.
You can't tax people because of what their skin color is and claim NOT to be a racist. You also can't blame children for the crimes of their ancestors, and in many cases black people have ancestors that sold slaves back in Africa.
That Democrats even think this is a good idea tells much about the soul of their party and politics, they would divide everyone against each other and cause further racial strife just to win an election.
Is there any evidence that the Democratic party favours reparations?
I don't think you are being even remotely serious. Google is your friend.

No one but the democrats favor repatriations...because they are inherently unconstitutional, conflict with common law, and are basically racist in nature when you blame one skin color for other people long dead with the same skin color. In addition, many white people immigrated to America long after the practice of slavery was abolished in the American civil war.
Q: Also consider the awkward reality of 'How many blacks were also sold into slavery by blacks?'
A: In actuality, Almost of the blacks sold into slavery in Africa was by other blacks. White people did not diddle around the interior of Africa looking for slaves as was depicted in the TV show Roots. To this day, tribal black slavery is common in Africa at the hands of other blacks.
I am aware that some Democrats support reparations but I don't know how much support reparations enjoys across the party, particularly within the House of Representatives.
Mike,
If a democrat supported DEI, he/she basically supported repatriations as they flow from the same line of thought: You can undo past bad things to people long dead by doing the similar bad things now to living people, except under new benevolent bureaucratic management...controlled by Democrats of course.
This idea that you can correct the past is bullshit. It's always been bullshit, and quite frankly, evil. You learn from the past so you don't repeat it, you don't rewrite history so you can repeat stupidity.
Yes, you can call attention to people who did things in the past and weren't acknowledged as a form of historical mea culpa, but you can't visit revenge or penalties upon anyone for the past events they simply had no part of...other than having the same skin color. This is just tantamount for putting the child in prison for the crimes of their distant ancestors. If this standard of racial grudges is followed, a bloodbath of historical grievance is what follows, just check out the entire middle east and get back to me on how attempting ancestral payback is going.
