call me insensitive but we’ve got bigger things to worry about.
oh and
The resolution does not address the controversial issue of reparations. Some members of the African-American community have called on lawmakers to give cash payments or other financial benefits to descendents of slaves as compensation for the suffering caused by slavery.
:fail:
gee theres a shocker, cash payments, and benefits. Idiots, always looking for handouts.
Hate to agree, but I do.
Nothing can change what happened…
Congress is awesome, this and the topic of gays in the military are certainly the most important topics that should receive govt attention. 
Gee, maybe our economy might be a tad bit important?
Cash heals all wounds…
Jeez, I want to be apologized to and I want a settlement for the teasing that I have got for being half Polish and half Italian.
Where is the polish Jessie Jackson when you need him?!?!?!?!
ohh god a polewop
i have an idea.
instead of paying them settlements, let’s send them all on a nice cruise to Cape Town!
I’m black now. Fuck you whitey pay me!
lol
untill they stop singling people out for their race, be it for benifits, rediculous cash payouts, college scholarships, etc… racism wont end.
it shouldnt matter what color my skin is, I should be able to qualify for everything you can based on my work and vice versa.
:bigclap:
I was reading some stupid article about how when people aren’t constantly talking about racism, it isn’t an issue. If everyone just stopped brining it up, we wouldn’t have a problem.
Just like global warming, gas prices and the war. Just stop talking about it and it’ll go away
see theres the difference, you said WORK, alot of these scumbags getting benes’ refuse to WORK and just want the free shit.
what about the white slaves? i bet they won’t get recognition
I’m fine with paying ex-slaves for their hardship. If you were a slave in the US you should get some money. It was an ugly period in our history.
But paying the great grandson of some ex-slave is just retarded.
Granted, this is the house vs. the Senate, but still. Check out the priorities our government has.
:picard:
racism isnt a tangible thing though. It’s an idea of hate.
+1 and lol to whatever afrank’s about to post. The guy’s usually pretty funny, and has a clue. Don’t let me down!..
