by Susan Ferrechio
| June 19, 2019 12:07 PM
A top Democrat said Wednesday the House will consider a bill that would develop a commission to study whether reparations should be provided to the descendants of slaves.
“I expect it will get a vote if it comes out of committee,†Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters Wednesday. “I expect it to come out of committee.â€
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also expressed support for the measure Wednesday.
The bill would establish a commission to “study and develop reparations proposals for African Americans.â€
Hoyer and Pelosi signaled support for the bill as the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the measure featuring proponents and critics of the proposal.
Hoyer said the commission would examine “how we try to compensate for the extraordinary racism and denigration of so many people that then put them in a position where they were substantially disadvantaged in the competition for jobs, income, equity.â€

We know that the House will pass this and IF the Senate doesn't pass this then they will look like racists. DEMS know that Black unemployment is the lowest in history and the Trump administration has also looked into unfair Black imprisonment and that Trump could very well take the black vote this coming election. This is such crap!
Does anyone truly believe that the DEMS are actually out to help the Blacks?

I disagree. I believe that blacks (and particularly, black women) despise Trump with the same intensity that they love Obama. They will never forgive Trump for birtherism.

Like Candice Owen, Silk and Spice? Melissa A? Do you have anything backing up your view than just opinion?
What do blacks not like? Historic low rates of unemployment in their communities? Few BLM marches? I'm curious.
Is one stating they speak for the black community? Black women?

Dems have been doing little for blacks, Baltimore gets worse, Chicago, Detroit and so on. Chicago hasn't even been in the news that much anymore.

And for the record, Obama is an American and an African but one questions whether he is an African American per some news columnists, Barak "God Bless Planned Parenthood" Obama, while abortion has destroyed the black community and robbed them of many citizens while other minorities grow, Hispanics, now a larger community.
Blacks have been 12%, 13% of the population, with wide amnesties to illegal, their percentage of the American population could even drop below 10%. Great help from the Democrats, also, wanting to give jobs to undocumented aliens on the lower ends of the job market. Really helping out blacks.

Also, Obama set race relations back at least 50 years.

I don't disagree.
I'm still telling you that it's fools gold to believe Trump will make any kind of inroads with blacks.

Anthony Johnson (b. c. 1600 – d. 1670) was a black Angolan who achieved freedom in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia after serving his term of indenture. He became one of the first property owners and slaveholders of African birth there.
He was the first black indentured servant, the first free black, and the first to establish the first black community, first black landowner, first black slave owner, and the first person based on his court case to establish slavery legally in North America. One could argue that he was the founder of slavery in Virginia.
In 1654, he brought a case before Virginia courts in which he contested a suit launched by one of his indentured servants, a Negro who adopted the name of John Casor.
Johnson won the suit and retained Casor as his servant for life.
This officially made Johnson the first legal slave owner in the British colonies that would eventually become the United States.

He already has though per some polls, pretty good approval but those are just polls.

If reparations are indeed paid out, anyone know of any good weed stocks to invest in? :laugh:
