Burgess Owens on Reparations: ‘Every Bad Thing That’s Happened to My Race Over the Years’ Goes ‘Right Back to…

Not Long Ago... here in this Mentally Retarded Country; the Democrats had the Senate; a super majority in the House and Barack Obama as POTUS ….. no one could have stopped them from giving Reparations… and Yet, they did not. Now, for some off the wall reason with an Election coming up, its an Issue.... an Issue that goes away as soon as you re-elect the simpletons

1. “One false premise is the assumption that every white American's ancestors owned slaves.”
By 1860, only 4% of all Southerners owned at least 1 slave and, according to the Census figures below. only 1.44% of all non-slave Americans did.
http://www.civil-war.net/pages/1860_census.html
This means that the vast majority of all Americans who had American ancestors before the end of the Civil War were not descendants of slave owners and 100% of all Americans whose ancestors came here after the Civil War were not descendants of American slave owners.
2. The other false premise cited was that the wealth of present day America was “built on the backs of slaves.”
What was the economic output of the non-slave states up to and after the Civil War compared to that of the slave states?
As the author stated, the wealth and infrastructure of the Southern slave states was largely destroyed during the Civil War. When it was rebuilt, it happened because of the wealth expended by the North on Reconstruction and by the efforts of Southerners, both white and newly-freed slaves.
The folks claiming that the 21st century wealth of the United States came from slave labor may as well try to claim that the present-day wealth of Europe was built by Nazi Germany because at one point the Nazis had overrun most of Europe.
I happened to overhear one of them citing the very small percentage of slave owners prior to the Civil War. And then he went on to say, “See, that small group who owned slaves did nearly all the work.”
The degree of self-interested imbecility among this crowd is truly staggering.
3. The reparations crowd is as typically statist in this as in everything else. Slavery in parts of the United States was not a program of the federal government. Slavery was a private social institution and legal in some states. The extent of the federal government’s involvement lay in banning the import of any new slaves by the first decade of the 19th century and by a South-friendly Supreme Court issuing the Dred Scott decision.
To those stupid enough to say that the federal government should pay reparations because it did not abolish slavery: what do you call the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment?
And if they persist in their stupidity by floating an argument like, “Well, they didn’t stop it soon enough, so they should pay,” then they should be asked whether they as parents, a MUCH closer relationship to their offspring than anything the federal government has to its citizens, have failed to restrain their offspring from engaging in criminal acts if they should be forced by law to provide restitution to the victims of the crimes committed by their offspring.
In addition to being the same opportunistic weasels their forebears were all the way back to the late 1800s when the progressive socialists began to engineer the takeover of American society, they are intellectually, morally, and economically bankrupt. They should, at every opportunity, be bludgeoned mercilessly with these points and publicly led to the place where they have to acknowledge the utter baselessness of their scheme or be revealed for the venal crooks they are.
They should be given no quarter whatsoever. Either they have to admit they were wrong or persist in an action that demonstrates they are fools.

Slavery reparations could carry a $17 trillion price tag

After a decade, Congress has begun the debate of reparations to African…

A new bill would calculate potential costs of reparations — and by Yahoo Finance estimates, these could reach as high as $17.1 trillion.
Last week, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties held the first hearing in a decade on H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act. The bill was first introduced in 1989 by former Congressman John Conyers (D-MI). Conyers reintroduced the bill each year until his retirement in 2017 — and each year, the bill languished in Congress.
The bill’s focus was not to pass reparations, but to research the impact slavery had on black Americans and develop proposals for redress.
‘Payments are not the focus of H.R. 40’

The subject of reparations has remained a political hot potato, with presidential candidates Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Beto O’Rourke and Julian Castro supporting some form of reparations. But while the Democratic-controlled House is willing to hear the bill, it seems likely that a bill on reparations will die in the Senate where Republicans have a majority. When asked about the hearing, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he opposed the measure, given that “not one of us currently living are responsible” for slavery.
McConnell continued, adding: "We've tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation. We elected an African-American president.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), a sponsor of H.R. 40 — named after the 40 acres and a mule promised to freed slaves — responded to McConnell’s comments in a statement to Yahoo Finance.
“Payments are not the focus of H.R. 40,” the congresswoman said. “Knowledge is the focus of H.R. 40.”
“The Majority Leader may want to deny this bill a hearing, but he cannot deny the horror and the denial of freedom that human bondage represents,” she said. “The Majority Leader can't deny the free labor that slavery brought; he can't deny the people who died in transit; and he can't deny that this is the 400th anniversary of the beginning of the slave trade.”
The case for reparations

Activists have been calling for reparations for years, and in 2016, a UN panel declared that the U.S. owed black Americans reparations because of slavery and its link to injustices today in America.
“In particular, the legacy of colonial history, enslavement, racial subordination and segregation, racial terrorism and racial inequality in the United States remains a serious challenge, as there has been no real commitment to reparations and to truth and reconciliation for people of African descent,” the report states.
“Contemporary police killings and the trauma that they create are reminiscent of the past racial terror of lynching. Impunity for State violence has resulted in the current human rights crisis and must be addressed as a matter of urgency.”
H.R. 40 co-sponsor Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) says that reparations aren’t about “playing victim” or “race baiting”.
“If the best policies are informed by data, the data supports the fact that black Americans continue to be in the bottom of every outcome when it comes to health, education, and economics,” Pressley said in a statement to Yahoo Finance. “So much work remains to be done in order for us to bend the arc of justice to ensure the full freedom for black Americans.”
African-Americans are disproportionately targeted by the criminal justice system, accounting for 33% of the prison population, but only 12% of the adult population in the country. According to Pew Research, this is in comparison to their white counterparts who make up a third of the prison population, but over 60% of the adult population in the U.S.
