Democratic candidates for president, at an event run by the Rev. Al Sharpton, say they support paying reparations to the descendants of slaves. Bill Whittle and Scott Ott say: “Let’s do it,” but for different reasons. Stephen Green leads the examination of this quadrennial Democratic issue.

So…what about Thomas Jefferson who loved his black slave women, in all senses of the word? His offspring would have been half slave, half slave owner. Would he have to pay himself?
I have listened to and been a member of bill whittle.com since its start and have NEVER been disappointed in the content offered and the knowledge I have gained.
Bill’s answer to be polite is MORONIC with all due respect. Again, I am a BIG fan.
WHY? should any individual who was not involved in SLAVERY have to give over his/her hard earned dollars going to Taxes if they were in no way RESPONSIBLE for the institution of SLAVERY or ALL the various Programs used to limit the Black man or woman’s right of “unalienable rights.”
I look to Marxism as a perfect example. The former Soviet Union fell and the world learned of the tyranny and multi-million deaths resulting from its Utopian dream. Yet far too many today disguise their Marxism through Democratic Socialism (OXYMORON).
You are naive to believe that the New Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) Party has ANY interest in Minorities other than as instruments of Victimhood. Al Sharpton even with a payoff would NEVER stop his HATE. Has the KKK HATRED gone away since its demise?
It will ONLY through ENLIGHTENMENT, an awakening of AWARENESS on an individual level and the elimination of career politicians, can SANITY be brought into the political arena.
Let me make 2 point regarding SLAVERY and payments of REPARATIONS:
1. David Horowitz the former Communist and intellectual thinker for the New Left who become an influential Conservative through his website FrontPageMag.com, countless books and numerous speech he’s and appearances on radio and TV wrote UNCIVIL WARS in 2002
2. Mark Levin on his radio program has called for the Democratic Party better renamed the New Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) Party should PAY for its countless SINS regarding Slavery and the subjugation off Blacks since the 1619 through the Civil War then with all hands on deck Jim Crow laws, the KKKPoll Tax, Literacy Tests and the Civil Rights legislation in the 20th Century.
The record of the New Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) Party is very clear and explicit. For over in many instances, they have had near absolute control and power over the Major Urban cities where they ran them through the Mayor, City Council and Police Chief. In those 50 years WHAT? specifically has the New Democratic Socialist (OXYMORON) Party done to improve the poverty and opportunities of one of their most consistent voting blocks? The answer is NOTHING.
A good idea, Bill, but you make one rather serious mistake: they will not demand reparations as a lump-sum payment, but rather as a stipend indexed off the COLA.
Nothing will make them stop whining. Nothing. Just like nothing will make white liberals get over their guilt complexes. If they don’t have blacks to feel terrible about, they will yoke themselves with the horror of what we did to sunspots. This is a psychological pathology, as you say.
Why hasn’t anyone pointed out the hypocrisy that Dems think that DACA kids shouldn’t be held responsible for the crimes of their parents but we should be held responsible for the crimes of our ancestors several generations before?!?!?
Not to pile on, but…well, I will. One of my ancestors that was old enough to fight (actually pretty old to be a volunteer) joined specifically because he was of an abolitionist mindset and was an early member of the Republican party, and my family was so much that way that his grandson was named after John Brown. The other one volunteered and we don’t have as much information on him, as he died in the war, leaving a wife and young children at home. Lost farm productivity while they were gone, lost income from the mill that the one also operated, the ongoing family hardships from the sacrifices. Yeah, let’s talk reparations.
This segment here covers a significant portion of why I tend to agree with Dinesh d’Souza when he makes the case that the Democratic party never ceased to be the party of racism and slavery. They merely changed their means of sustaining it. I get scoffed at by some of my leftist friends for making that accusation, but the evidence is right there in front of them, and this video exposed it so well that I used the guest pass link.
Thanks Bill and Steve and Scott.
It’s just a scheme to get our DNA. haha… 23 and DNC was great, Scott. I was thinking of something similar when you said that.
Why does no one ever call out Barack Obama’s fake self-identification as a black American? His mother was white. His father was from Africa. He is not a descendant of American slaves. Why does he get to claim their heritage? Isn’t that cultural appropriation? Stolen valor? When he would say things like his son “might have looked like” a black teenaged boy, he is claiming as his own that boy’s heritage as a descendant of slaves, while at the same time alleging that the heritage itself isn’t what’s important (much less the content of his character), only the level of melanin in his skin. It is disgusting.
My Scotch-Irish ancestors were sent here as indentured servants by the Queen of England. How do I collect?
Steve: Please bring back ‘Hair of the Dog’? The Dems need a good dose of the ‘Eyebrow of Disdain’.
I’ve only listened to Scott’s opening volley so far.
Rock Solid points encased in granite. I think Scott just out-Billed Bill. Daaaaayum……
I am with Scott on this one. Make it a democrat tax. Also add a “reparation” to the descendants of the Union soldiers who sacrificed to end it. Send the first bill to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
I’m with Scott. Democrats first.
There is absolutely no guarantee that future generations of blacks would abide by the no grievance agreement and in all likelihood would not. After all do you think that gifting them a lottery size payment based on ethnic identity will cause them to discount their entitlement attitude. Unearned lottery payments have been consistently shown no ability to change lifestyle or attitude choices, frequently changing financial circumstances only temporarily.

Wow! Go Scott! That was awesome!
I should’ve waited until it was over. That whole segment was spot on!
I’m with Bill. Here’s my 20 bucks. Now shut up.
It should be taken directly from the coffers of the dnc. All money they take in for at least a year.
Wow, fantastic commentary. Scott, right on. amazing energy (passion) in your words so tired of this pandering. Bill, genius twist, like Steve said, I would think about that. $?.00 to drop it for good. I would also add if you take the $$ no more welfare, no more section 8, no more food stamps nothing. A lot of people (who did absolutely nothing to you or your relatives 8 generations ago and actually BTW did nothing more than be born non-black in this country) worked real hard just to have you stop whining. Time to move on. Bonus, tax cheat, slime ball race hustler Sharpton no longer relevant!
My peoples were oppressed Irish and Poles who came here around the turn of the 20th century. At the earliest. Why I gotta pay anything?
Also, I think this is coming up again and seriously because Trump is actually threatening this voting block Dems thought they had a lock on and can’t win w/o.
