House Hearing on Slavery Reparations: Pay Up, Whitey

I could do the whole bit about how American blacks are the wealthiest and most privileged blacks on earth, specifically because they were brought over as slaves.

I could do the thing about how the welfare they’ve sucked out of the white taxpayer is so much more than the wealth they produced working as slaves.

I could note that every single one of the endless black-on-white violent crimes that happens in this country every day is payback for slavery.

I could point out that even if you gave every black in America a million dollars in cash tomorrow, it would all be blown on drugs and parties and gold chains and rims in a matter of weeks, and blacks would be left in the exact same position they were in before receiving the money.

But it’s so dumb. I just don’t even want to engage this sort of thing.

It’s so ridiculous that responding to it makes me feel like I am ridiculous.

Fox News:

The question of slavery reparations for black Americans was the subject of a fiery and emotional House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday as Democrats called for measures to address America’s “original sin” — while Republicans described such payments as an “injustice” and “almost certainly unconstitutional.”

The Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties subcommittee held the hearing on H.R. 40 — a bill by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, to set up a commission to study and develop a response to the question of reparations for slavery.

Democrats such as former President Barack Obama and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton opposed such a costly plan in the past. But amid a steady shift in the party to the left, the issue has been given new life with endorsements from 2020 hopefuls and others — though details remain vague as to what form such reparations should take, with estimates for a controversial direct payment to slave descendants running into the trillions.

“The role of the federal government in supporting the institution of slavery and subsequent discrimination directed against blacks is an injustice that must be formally acknowledged and addressed,” Jackson-Lee said.

“I just simply ask: Why not and why not now?” she said.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who is running for president and has introduced a version of Jackson-Lee’s bill in the Senate, said it is wrong to present the issue as one American writing a check for another, and called on lawmakers to deal with what he said is continued racism in America.

Citing racial disparities on issues such as health and education, he said America has a criminal justice system “that is indeed a form of new Jim Crow.”

“And so we as a nation have not yet truly acknowledged and grappled with racism and white supremacy that has tainted this country’s founding and continues to persist in those deep racial disparities and inequalities today,” he said.

Republicans, meanwhile, recognized the horrors of slavery but said that reparations were not the way forward. Congressman Mike Johnson, R-La., was booed and heckled during his remarks.

“Putting aside the injustice of monetary reparations from current taxpayers for the sins of a small subset of Americans from many generations ago, the fair distribution of reparations would be nearly impossible when one considers the complexity of the American struggle to abolish slavery,” he said.

Activist and actor Danny Glover testified at the hearing, as did author Ta-Nehisi Coates, who wrote an influential 2014 essay on the subject and criticized McConnell by name in Wednesday’s hearing. He said that America was paying out pensions to heirs of Civil War veterans into this century, and still honors hundred-year-old treaties.

“Many of us would love to be taxed for the things we are solely and individually responsible for, but we are American citizens and thus bound to a collective enterprise that extends beyond our individual and personal reach,” he said.

Hey, “Ta-Nehisi.”

Where would you be if your ancestors weren’t slaves?

That’s right.

You would be living in a mud hut in Africa with a plate in your lip.

Because you are a nigger.

And mud huts are what niggers live in when they don’t have white people to babysit them and teach them how to pretend to be real people.

All of you niggers asking for handouts are full of shit and you all know it. If you actually hated this country as much as you claim to, you’d get on a plane and go the fuck back home to your mud huts and lip plates.

No one is keeping you here.

But a lot of people are getting real fucking fed up with your whining.
