why can't democrats realize you can't give reparations to the living for the suffering of the dead ?

They wanna give "reparations to descendants of people who OWNED slaves.

Are the Demokkkrats pushing for reparations to whites who descended from slaves as well, or are they just being racist like always?

Sorry Allison, you are wrong, native Americans do NOT deserve reparations.  Most people seem entirely unaware or oblivious about the fact that the Indian tribes that existed when Europeans arrived in North America, had wholesale slaughtered OTHER Indian tribes to take away their land and property.

"That doesn't make it right!!!" say the progressives. Actually, it was. The law of the land during the days before Europeans arrived was survival of the fittest. You keep what you take, that's just the way it was. If anything, the Europeans were more civil and less barbaric in their treatment of those they conquered. Now in 2020, you have ignorant people on the left trying to apply their own warped modern day view of right and wrong to the American Frontier from 150+ years ago, and it is simply preposterous. This is a trap, when you consider that no one alive today took part in what happened to American Indians then, and American Indians now, while suffering from inconsistent government practices in comparison to other Americans, are in NO WAY remotely as bad off as they were during the American Frontier days.

And Perry, that was probably the quickest and best way I've ever heard that argument presented, bravo, I'm saving that one. 

didn't you hear?

the "reparations" aren't going to be individual payments but instead FUNDING for PROGRAMS aimed at supporting the black community....

who do you think gets paid to run those "programs?".... who do you think profits from all those people conditioned to think they must vote a certain way to keep all that funding coming to them?

funny.... wasn't one of slavery's "evils" the culture of dependence it created?

I'm a Dem who agrees with what you say there.  Relax oh racist trumptard, nobody is getting reparations.  The ONLY people who deserve them are the NATIVE AMERICANS! Anf if THEY aren't getting reparations, then NOBODY else is going to get them either.  It's just never going to happen.  The talk about it will continue though, but you can best believe there won't be any ACTION on it.

Not a democrat, but I'd say it's probably because they know what words mean.

There are numerous examples of reparation agreements that do precisely that.  One of the best-known is Holocaust reparations paid by Germany to Israel.

they are posturing for the voters.  everyone who thinks at all knows this.  there are so many problems with the concept that it isn't ever going to be either fair or just.

They are way too busy making the living dead for profit. There's clearly more money in it for them. 

It's not a matter of whether one can or not but rather whether one wants to.
