this entire country has lost its mind. looting and rioting are not racist activities; they are examples of vandalism and lawlessness and not giving a hoot about who gets hurt. that has nothing to do with race, color or creed
It’s high time that Republican middle class WHITE males start paying black folks their reparations that are due.
I can’t tell if you are sarcastic. Not even a single Republican (and I mean every Republican, not just the leadership) has been documented to have owned a slave on the eve of the Civil War (and this is known because slaves were specifically counted, as a Constitutional requirement, on the census at the eve of the Civil War).So what is your point – you want Republicans to pay reparations for NOT owning any slaves? Even aside from that, just exactly how does one characterize all the money of all those programs – and all those “affirmative action” initiatives – that (either de facto or de jure) has been spent on the non-Whites of the country? And of interest to me are the videos where those of colour open justify the looting etc as – and this is their own words – “reparations”. Seems they by their own description of matters they have already taken their “reparations”.
Why does the taxpayer have to pay for such garbage? Why doesn’t President Trump cut government funding once and for all.
The President is in charge of the Executive branch – since when is NPR part of the Executive branch? And in any case, Wikipedia claims that only 6% of NPR budget comes (officially) from government funds
