Reparations for slavery is stupid.
Sorry Dems keep fricking dreaming. It was your damn party that wanted slavery. Stop trying to deny it.

I might agree with you on reparations, but I think your attack on Democrats is questionable.
For one thing, I've never heard a Democrat claim that the party was anti slavery, or for that matter, deny that Lincoln was a Republican.
I have heard an awful lot of Republicans making the accusation, though, often in response to Democratic criticism of Republicans, absorbing the Dixiecrats and then adopting the Southern Strategy.
But that kind of gets to my second point, which is that attacking the other side for its prior seemingly inconsistent positions a century ago, like an ad hominem attack, doesn't really address any relevant issue.
