There are all kinds of "worst aspects" regarding reparations. Transferring wealth from people who had nothing to do with slavery to people who were never slaves is another one of many.
the concept Democrats have brought up have nothing to do with direct compensation to individuals.
First of all, I always love when Hondo adds in meaningless words like "concept" and "essentially" and "technically" in order to make his words sound more intelligent to his pea sized brain. Hondo there is no single "concept" the Rats are bringing up, and yes there are some reparation "concepts" that do involve direct compensation to individuals, although neither McConnell or myself made that claim. That's just the "concept" of Hondo fucking strawman ass because he is too stupid to address what people actually say and he hates "direct quotes."
Did you read what McConnell said? Clearly not.
The Hondo "did you read what he said" Kunt act. Hondo why don't for once in your pathetic life cut the fucking shit and just deal honestly with an issue? Yeah, I read what McConnell said and I read what you said. You fucking lied. McConnell wasn't the one to bring up reparations, he was asked a question about reparations because the House is holding hearings on the topic.
Do you understand the "concept" of not being a lying Kunt Hondo?
Reparations seem to be working out super great for the natives. No probs on the rez like drug abuse and crime, and everyone has tons of cash from the casinos that profit off the white Chinese man's dollar.
I'm all in for reparations if the proper people are doing the paying. Since democrats were the slavers they should be the payers. Them and the blacks who sold their own people into slavery.

I mean I'm not really pro reparations but there's no denying that there are people still benefiting from the ramifications of slavery and people still suffering from the ramifications thereof. It's not as simple as saying "you were never a slave".
I'd be pro reparations if I thought it would actually fix anything. The wounds of slavery are too deep to simply throw money at it and think it will go away though.
To say electing a black president is a form of reparations is stupid. It's just as stupid as being pro reparations in the first place.
It would be, but that isn't what he said.
"We tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing landmark civil rights legislation, elected an African American president," Barack Obama, in 2008, McConnell said. "I don't think we should be trying to figure out how to compensate for it. First of all, it would be hard to figure out whom to compensate."
Unless you also think he was saying that the Civil War was a form of reparations. He is listing how far we have come and what we have already done to address our "original sin" and that we now shouldn't be trying to figure out a way to further "compensate" for that original sin.

Saying we elected a black president to address the original sin of slavery isn't calling it reparations but it's just as FS.

If people also think that reparations are going to help bridge the racial divide, they are retarded. Are you telling me poor white people in the South are going to go for this (Even if the funds are coming from only the rich)? Also, they won't just voice their concerns, you potentially could have full on violent racial warfare. That would be good for nobody.

How do you quantify the "ramifications" and how do you work out form of compensation for those ramifications? How do you compensate people for slavery who were never slaves?

You don't think there was an element of that in Obama's election? I recall Tom Hanks claiming it was one of the reasons he was going to vote for Obama.

The country has made massive improvements in race relations and electing Obama is concrete proof.
