You mean all the Democrats in congress really want is to drive up black voter turnout for the 2020 election. Everyone knows reparations are not going to happen. They figured out that the reason Obama won so handily in 2008 and 2012 was in large part because of a higher black voter turnout, and Hillary wasn't able to get that high of a turnout even with the BLM protests.
The problem is that a candidate who promises reparations will lose more white voters than gain black voters.

I think the dems have figured they are losing that demographic. Thus the strong desire to bring in millions of illegals who are federally dependent and new democrat supporters.
Prosperous, confident people don't need democrats. Those who have failed in life and the victim class need democrats for handouts.

You might think little of the elected.
But, they didn't just fall from a turnip truck.
Many blacks would like a national conversation about the result of slavery, Jim Crow, banks not lending, GM refusing to sell Cadilacs to blacks, yadayadayada.
IMO, all anybody wants is an acknowledgment that it happened and it was wrong. Kings X

Republicans said no to handouts back at the Great Depression. The Dems said, "this is how get those people to vote for us", and gave all the black folks a handout. Today, we now see some people who treat it like it's deserved simply because, and have no ambition to get out from under it. "Keep paying my rent and buying my food, I'll keep voting for Dems!"
Fast forward:
"Obama going to buy me a house and a new car!"
So now the Dems are toying with the black population again by telling them they are going to get free money.
And how many are going to fall for it all over again?

WHITES received the handouts back at the Great Depression. Stop your lies.
How Today’s White Middle Class Was Made Possible By Welfare
Whites, angered at blacks and immigrants receiving “government handouts,” forget they were lifted out of poverty through racially exclusive welfare programs in the 30s. How Today’s White Middle Class Was Made Possible By Welfare - In These Times
White Americans support welfare programs — but only for themselves, says new research
New study shows white Americans love government support programs — that is, if they're the beneficiaries https://www.salon.com/2018/08/01/whi...-new-research/
Fifty years ago gun control wasn't a partisan issue. Many Democrats, even a few liberals, were strong opponents of the Gun Control Act of 1968. In 2000, Congressman John Dingell, a liberal Michigan Democrat, one of the last liberals to oppose gun control, engineered the defeat of laws that would have destroyed gun shows. Sadly, they're all dead.
The Democratic Party was once the party of sound money, free trade, and individual freedom. Sadly, that party is dead.
YOu may be right-but I find it hard to believe that with 2 dozen candidates that there isn't one that respects the civil rights of American citizens.

But that's a topic for another thread. Back to reparations, should we go even further back in time, to ancient Egypt as mentionned in some memes like this one or this one for example?
I don't know what you are talking about but Tulsi Gabbard notes she is pro 2nd amendment.
Seems to me that since Clinton the most restrictions have been either supported or passed by Trump.
