#1 Tennessee Tuxedo is a life-long racist who, had his skin been paler, would have been at home as a Klansman. No one alive today has been held as a slave under the laws of the United States. No one alive today has legally owned slaves under the laws of the United States. No one is around who is owed reparations and no one is around who owes them.

Yeah, Jim Crow laws were shit. Prevailing wage and union-only laws were as well. So what? Until the "Great Society" and "War on Poverty", blacks were improving their lot the same way all Americans do: generation by generation.

FFS, it's not like mainstream America hides the secret to success -- no illegal drugs, wait for marriage, get as educated as you can stand, and work hard. The attitude that you're owed ANYTHING because of what you THINK you ancestors went through is ludicrous -- because the rest of us came from the serfs, peasants, religious outcasts, and unwanted from the rest of the world. Our ancestors came here, dealt with ostracism and bigotry, and made our way into the mainstream.

So buck up, stop feeling sorry for yourselves, get rid of the pot, stop taking on thugs as role models, stay in school, keep your legs together, and join the party.

#2 brought to the New World by force and held in bondage for as long as 250 years

Damn, bottle that stuff and sell it as the fountain of youth elixer. 250 years? That's gotta be worth a bloody fortune.

#3 Well, if this reparations thing goes through, I think I might identify as black.

#4 Let the donks keep their platform just the way it is. That way we know they'll lose in 2020.

#5 Maybe all this reparations talk is a massive PR effort to promote all the ancestry DNA products out there. I bet you could find massive injustices to your ancestors no matter what color your skin.

#6 What it comes down to is, they want the massive redistribution, but no way are they going to finish up by saying, "OK, that squares it, we will never bring it up again." Only a moron would think otherwise...

#7 Only a moron would think otherwise...

So, about 50% of the electorate.
