So you support reparations for the Jews. Cool. Oh, that's right, you don't like Jews.
I swear, the lefties here get wackier by the day.
Black people in America deserve reparation ,no matter if you like or hate them, I can tell you don't like them but this would not change anything to the issue.
The same KKK members that claim to be Christians. Where the same ones dragging blacks under trucks to death and lynching them. They claim to be god fearing Christians but disobey one of this biggest rules in the Bible. ** love everybody**. Maybe they are Christian extremist.
Just noise plus it's directed at his base and nobody else. Redistricting made his district less black and more Hispanic, with a lot of new turf he's never previously represented. Last time he narrowly survived a primary challenge by a Hispanic from the new part of his district. He wants to motivate his base for a better turnout next year.

Exactly this.
Rangel is an intelligent guy; he knows this is DOA, but is trying to stoke non-hispanic black turnout as much as he possibly can. Espaillat has been breathing down his neck for years now.
WHICH people should pay or get reparations? ALL "white" people including white Hispanics? How about white people with Blacks in their family trees going by DNA? Should Black people whose ancestors either came to the US as "free people" or the descendents of "free persons of color" before the Civil War get reparations and so on?
Sorry: it ain't gonna happen; that affirmative action bit for Black people 40 years ago WAS reparations. Before anybody starts talking about Jim Crow here: many white people like Jews, us "Irish" and many others had to deal with discrimination as late as 1948, NOT just Blacks in parts of the US.
No one needs your faux " sorry ". No one is dumb enough to believe that a nation born and bred of racism would actually pay racial reparations. I mean....such would disprove the notion that the nation is racist.
The reason for the need of reparations is still the primary reason why blacks never got it.

Yes, Rangel is a Spanish name, so I knew he had Latino ancestors somewhere on his dad's side. But he's from a historically black neighborhood, identifies as black (e.g. Congressional Black Caucus), and has been generally regarded as black. Redistricting added largely Puerto Rican territory to his district, the problem he faces now is that of a Puerto Rican challenger with a neighborhood base outside his old district.
I am cool with that. Lets make everyone who was involved pay. The African Tribes who warred for captives to sell to Europeans, to the countries and people who profited from the slave trade, up to and including AMERICA.
Is that fair enough
There is no one "involved" alive today. But as long as people are "cool with" this nonsense, you'd best hold on to your wallets, folks.
