And since the liberals also want to do away with student loans: if student loans are forgiven, I want to go back and submit a claim for what my parents and grandparents chipped in to help me pay for my college education, while I worked AND studied! A lot of my college friends, who had loans, were party animals, skipped class, and/or dropped out of school altogether! Why should taxpayers, including Democrats and Independents, have to pay for student loans for students like this?

Interesting idea, perhaps we shall see this later down the road. And to all that think this sounds ridiculous, a few decades ago most would have agreed that a man could not marry a man.


I think we will see this comes first however, PTSS. So basically real reparations coming to black people.

Is this a serious question?

I'll absolutely grant you, in the US today, women are not oppressed.

But look back to prior to the 1970's, and the only demographic you'd want to be in the US was white male.

I guess you should put a ring on it, then?

Plan ahead a little?

OR, at the very least, don't completely alienate the mother of your child to the point she doesn't want anything to do with you at all?

My ancestors were oppressed by Muslims. I want reparations too.

I swear Im going to find some way to take advantage of all these idiot things happenening.. so i wont be left out.. Im sure if i looked hard enough (maybe an hour or so) i will find a way to demand reparations and maybe get it.


do you consider this a reparation - the internet providers are saying they will give free/reduced rates to people on SNAP (welfare).. meanwhile we pay full price. the electric company also gives vouchers for poor people to get reduced/free rates on electric. Reparations also - subsidized housing, free school lunches,


Hmm maybe even to seniors? reduced bus far, reduced airline fare.
