God, I hope HRC signs on to this...I can't think of a faster way to lose a presidential race than to advocate for reparations.

Don't worry, it's only free education, guaranteed minimum income, etc...just for black people though.

Also a laundry list of progressive stuff, like no more fossil fuels, elimination of private schools, etc etc.

I stopped counting unconstitutional demands at about 20...

I'm sorry, but as a descendant of the people all this land was stolen from, I deserve reparations first.

Black people may have come her involuntarily, but MY people were driven from here involuntarily. Black people can still go back to where they came from. When am I going to be given vast swaths of the Southeast in compensation?

Red lives matter!

(Hey, so long as grievance is the only way to get ahead, I'm going to highlight my own.)

Go for it!

Don't forget to mention all those treaties the "great white father" in Washington signed, then abrogated.

Bluebelly Lives Matter!

As the descendant of men who fought the Confederacy, were grievously wounded, and spent time in Andersonville, I demand reparation from the descendants of slaves.  Slaves and their descendants benefited from the labor and blood of my ancestors, yet they paid them nothing in return!  Is that justice? 

Bluebelly Lives Matter!

Holy crap?!  They must be like 200yrs old!

Uh.... phrasing.

I'll happily chip in for a one way ticket to the Sub Saharan African country of their choosing as means of reparations for their ancestors being forced to come over here.
I hear Nigeria is a lovely place to stay.

Damnit,  I saw a kickstarter called "send my ass back to Africa".  Dude had $3000 pledged when last I checked.

Paddy Lives Matter !!!

As the decedent of those brought involuntarily by the English (as "indentured servants"), then forced to fight to liberate the slaves. (one set of slaves fighting to free others, go figure),  I deserve DOUBLE the reparations that are given to the Black Lives Matter crowd.  They didn't do squat to free themselves.  It was my Paddy ancestors (many conscripted right when they got off the boat in Boston and New York) that freed their asses!!!! 

We get DOUBLE what they get !!!!

[MechAg94]

As I heard someone mention recently, how do they filter out descendants of black slave owners?

[Devonai]

I'm half Lithuanian Jew and half Polish. What do I get for 1939?

Reparations are: full black share/1D20+victim identity modifier.

From their platform:

We are intentional about amplifying the particular experience of state and gendered violence that Black queer, trans, gender nonconforming, women and intersex people face.

Would somebody translate this in to Oppressor-Speak so I can understand what they mean?

"We are angry, but we don't know why or at who, so we try to include all seemingly oppressed persons and non-persons and other-persons so we can get more sympathy and attention and money."

Shorter:
"It is YOUR fault we are nincompoops.  Give us money or we will burn down our own neighborhood."

Their gender studies prof will give them a C minus, because they failed to include the word, "intersectional." Or, he they will give them 3 out of 5 Alinskys.

The one drop rule, they are bringing it back...for reasons that I don't understand.

OK, that I understand.  I'll just whip out my checkbook and everybody will be happy, ay least for as long as $30.06 lasts.
