Whether if you agree or not black Americans are owed reparations

Black Americans who are descendants are owed reparations not just from slavery but for the following: Jim Crow, redlining, inhumane experiments for war, inhumane experiments that were used to further medical practices, forced sterilization burning down our towns, racist propaganda in school books, the CIA causing the crack epidemic, and lastly giving reparations to former slave masters.

And all that was done by Democrats who instituted Slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK, fought against MLK and the Civil Rights Movement, fought against Blacks getting the right to vote, instituted Segregation, killed hundreds of Black Americans in Tulsa and burned their neighborhood to the ground just because they were self sufficient. Let the Democrats pay for it.

You mean Democrats like LBJ? Isn't he the one who signed the civil rights act? Quit listening to Tucker Carlson. You are right about your history but you are wrong about your present. @ancientmariner

@ancientmariner The Civil Rights Act was passed by Lyndon Baines Johnson, Democrat. The party vote was 153 democrats, 136 republicans. During this time the republican nominee for president, Barry Goldwater, led the opposition to the Civil Rights Act. History can do a person good.

@ancientmariner This is both a lazy and wordy at the same time you could almost color me impressed

I am surprised. I would think that with all the southern democrats, the republicans would have been the majority of votes. You got me on that. The republicans were the main opponents. @sunsporter1649
