XUL has never driven on the road, drank city water, used city sewage, turned on the lights in his home, used any product that has benefited from any of these resources, and sure as fuck doesn't need the government as a result.

So who exactly do you want to pay for the sins of slave owners and for the betterment of the used black community.

Who is paying this?

Everyone?

Even blacks?

So Beto was caught trying to beat a guardian report that would detail his deep family history and ties to slavery. It turns out he beat the guardian's report and got in the first word.

What's with all the slave owning KKK Dems running for president?

Why would lefties want to support privileged families who are guilty of the very things they hate. Slavery, generational wealth produced from blacks, KKK busing, and Indian impersonators?

Wow. This is going to be a dirty identity politic kind of election. And Trump will crush the fake establishment candidates.

Quote:

The Democratic presidential candidate made the disclosure shortly before a report by The Guardian was published detailing his family's slave-owning history

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke acknowledged Sunday that his ancestors, as well as his wife Amy’s, had owned slaves. O’Rourke wrote in a post on Medium that his paternal great-great-great grandfather enslaved two women in the 1850s. His maternal great-great-great grandfather, he added, “most likely” also owned slaves.

I notice you've done no research and don't care if Trumps family owned slaves. Can't have a double standard like that

Everyone who isnt a descendent pays. Blacks only pay if they are in a certain income bracket.

It would act like paying Social Security, we pay them (the elderly) even thou we dont even know them.

It’s an area that includes modern Germany but also Austria and what’s sometimes called “Germania Slavica,” the eastern edge of the German medieval settlement in parts of the modern Czech Republic and Slovenia. Besides the Trump clan, this slice of Europe is the birthplace of Freud, Grimm’s fairy tales, the Nazi movement, schnitzel, pilsner beer and some of Europe’s great writers and musicians including Kafka, Dvorak and Mozart.

Sounds likely that some second or third cousins were Nazi's.  My original argument was this is not a thing to politicize anymore than a rebuttal to invalidate claims that Beto or Harris had distant relatives that owned slaves.

I'm throwing up in my mouth thinking Trump could be part Czech.

Trump's father was arrested at a KKK rally.

to add to that, members of one half of my German side were Nazis.  One of my dad's cousins has the uniform (or I assume still does) as he showed it off proudly one time.

So, does that make me a Nazi or subject to holding Nazi sympathies?

They aren't my principles to live up to.

They are yours.

I don't think anybody honestly has much belief in reparations happening. I can give XUL some credit for creating this thread though, it definitely is a difficult question.
