Obama calls for reparations for black Americans because the 'wealth of this country was built on the backs of slaves' - but says he couldn't get it done as president due to the 'politics of white resistance'

    Obama said reparations would have been met with 'white resistance' in a  Renegades: Born in the USA podcast episode with Bruce Springsteen 
    During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama appeared to oppose reparations
    Reparations are payments made and programs created to help the descendants of slavery
    Obama said 'the talk of welfare queens' and  'the undeserving poor' would have made a reparations program 'counterproductive'

Former President Barack Obama claimed reparations for black Americans are 'justified' but explained in his podcast with Bruce Springsteen that it was a 'nonstarter' during his presidency because of 'white resistence'.

During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama appeared to oppose reparations and argued that 'the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed.'

Obama, 59, has launched an eight-episode podcast series called Renegades: Born in the USA with the 71-year-old rock legend, released through Spotify’s partnership with the Obama’s Higher Ground production company.

Nothing like documenting how big a lying POS that you are.  He lied to elected in 2008.  Of course that is not news to most of us.   Now he admits it.

Will Obama agree to drop the issue of race, along with all of government the set asides for minorities currently existing, as well as the right to bitch incessantly about racism, if we agree to pay you ONE MORE TIME?

Didn't think so. No sale.

In researching family history, I've learned my great-great-great-great-grandfather owned slaves, including one he purchased from Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's mother for $250. That man was so devoted to my ancestor, he begged to buried alongside him. I wonder whether he had any descendants.

The only connection Baraq Obama has to the descendants of American slaves is that his muslim ancestors sold them.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-

Kind of like KommieLa Harris' ancestors owning slaves. There seems to be a common thread.

Shouldn't the (b)lacks be paying reparations to the Americans, instead?

It was THEIR parents who sold them into slavery, and it was the slavery issue that drove the Civil War and yet it was the Whites who almost exclusively died to free them. 

A lot of White families lost their bread winners because of that war, and that war wouldn't have happened of the (b)lacks had stayed where they belonged.   

And should the descendants of Whites who've never owned (b)lack slaves be forced to pay reparations to people who were never slaves?

And, finally, there is THIS:
 
Quote
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3
 No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

I'm pretty sure that making taxing the Whites of today to pay the (b)lacks of today for what was perfectly lawful behavior 200 years ago...

a) is considered a "taint of the blood", and
b) is an ex post facto law.

Both being clear violations of the Constitution, just as clear as the requirement that only state legislatures can choose how the electors of a state are chosen.

So, not only would this BS "reparations" scam sail through the courts, people who oppose it will be called "raycyst".

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Democrats after spending a great many trillions with Obama in office, seemed to dump plenty of money onto foreign nations, esp terrorist MiddleEast nations, then of course Biden doing much the same, wants racism as an excuse to keep on spending at this late date because 'he cares', or because the drive to break the U.S. economy is severe in its intensity?  I expect the latter.

No worries, Biden will see to it that we are destroyed.  Bammy is leading from the sidelines. Harris will march to the beat of his drum when Biden can no longer function at all (I think he's almost there).  I believe this has been in play since Trump beat Hillary.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Hmm................just as Black Africans built the great wealth of their homelands in
Angola, Botswana, the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, among dozens; before being sent to the New World???
Of course, all know how wealthy these tribal lands were then and remain now, don't we???
Obama merely confirms what a purposeful ignoramus he has always been.
Incidentally, the Africans had no skills because of their Tribal Heritage.
As such, they picked cotton, watered orchards and fertilized the growth of food products.
What made the USA the ranking economic power in the world was our post-Civil War industrialization, the creation of the likes of Morgan, Carnegie, Ford and Rockefeller.
Growing cotton was the hobby horse of the Southern Plantation Class; nothing more.

There have already been reparations :

That professor is wrong.   

The racist Affirmative Action program did not create the black middle class.   Johnson's Great Society scam stopped the growth of the (b)lack middle class by destroying the (b)lack family.    Racism never accomplishes good.   Racism is evil and evil does not work good.

Of the civil war era, America bought black Americas their own nation in Africa, Liberia.  A great many blacks took the offer and went to Liberia.  Odd how little of that event is now on the web, like keep people ignorant of this attempt to foment rebellion and resentment in America.  Socialist democrats see another Republic that flourishes they want to destroy, America.  It's existence proves how pathetic socialism really is, promising big, delivering slaughter and desolation, inhumanities unto mankind.

As i was trying to say, Reparations was already paid to blacks shortly after America bought Liberia and gave it to American blacks wishing to leave America.  The debt WAS paid, but socialists trying to be a festering cancer and infect old wounds
America has, they want old wounds reopened to jeopardize America like a stubborn cancerous infection that refuses to die.

Now that we have the Juneteenth Holiday (oh, however will I celebrate?), are we all square on reparations, or no? Still want money?
