The Reparations Agreement between Israel and West Germany (German: Luxemburger Abkommen, Hebrew: הסכם השילומים) was signed on September 10,1952 for jews reperations. The Japanese got reperations from America in 1968. The government has a way to determine exactly which african americans would receive reperations. African Americans suffered a holocaust & Slavery for 400 years. America received 400 years of free labor from African Americans who built America. Most importantly they lost SELF KNOWLEDGE. Its been 150 years to long. They more than deserve it they need it....

Oh please. Many peoples, including the Irish and Chinese have suffered discrimination, poverty, and slavery in one form or the other. So who are the slaves now? The American tax payer. We have been sold into bondage by our government and big business. Let’s worry about today, not things that happened over 100 years ago....

Here we go again. Blacks are hoping for ANOTHER handout. If the Obama Administration is wanting to unify America, this is NOT the way to accomplish it. Reparations for Slavery will assuredly result in race riots. Whites will not stand for it. I, for one....

Since the 1960's I-as a White-have been discriminated against. No college grant because they all go to blacks. Applied to be air traffic controller, tested very high but they had to hire black females with scores much lower than mine. Have been the token White person on many job interviews but they had to hire black. Most blacks I know live on Welfare, get free housing, get food stamps, get free college- the list goes on and on. My Irish ancestors were indentured slaves to pay their way to this country and they were required to work as slaves for many years. "The females who became pregnant during their term of servitude were ordered to serve 240 extra days and receive 12 lashes at the public whipping post." 1/2 to 2/3 of all immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants. My American Indian ancestors had it worse. Blacks will find in history that their African brothers captured them and sold them as slaves. So-blacks owe money to themselves-or to us....

It is amazing to me how blacks can say they love the black man and black history. Have a black history month ,Miss. Black America,black collage etc. But the second a white person says something like i love white people, you are a racist. Way too much "political correctness" going on. And it seems to be one sided against the white race. Blacks need to let it go if they want to grow the future into a better place. Not a society of give me that or I deserve that. Go and work hard and earn it...Leave if this country is so bad...

This bill is completely ridiculous. Slavery ended 144 years ago!! Paying someone money solely on the basis of their race is WRONG, and not EQUAL as things in America are supposed to be. Move on to the next item on the Liberal Agenda....

Blacks already get reparations. It's called welfare, Section 8, and affirmative action. Get over it....

Shall we sue Rome? And l930's children worked in US factories fo 12-16 hours; that is 7 days per week earning SEVEN CENTS per hours. Shall we sue for them? Shall we sue for ALL US citizens whose ancestry has been eliminated around the globe due to bureaucrats sending them to die in the name of US Military for the world? MEANWHILE OPEN BORDERS CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS bring drugs, disease, CRIME=MS-13's et al brutally cutting US citizens while torturing then burning them in oil barrels. WHILE all the heathen breeders enter PREGNANT via sperm donor exponentials for auto-welfare against the US & States CONSTITUTIONS on the backs of the diminishing working taxpayers-- who built America! 4% are we: yet our illustrious government has given away almost all which they have stolden from me and you..A M E R I C A N S THE RACE=LA RAZA you know there is EVIL at the helm that this exists Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto Y O U...

I am SO tired of this whole issue. Lets just get rid of the word ENTITLED! No one is ENTITLED to anything. We all have to work for what we receive. No hand outs. There are of course a few exceptions, but a very few. No one should disciminate, that means against whites too. This is disciminating to them as a group based on their race!...

I feel bad for the Negro and am willing to pay to return him and his family back to the land of his fathers. He was sold by his own people against his will, he should be returned against his will, for he will never be happy in the White Man's land....

H.R. 40 would acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and it would establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, and to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies.

You've got to be kidding me. It took this long for his Black Liberation Theology Roots to come out! It's been two and half weeks...what took so long. You fools. WE told you so. When were in our cells next to each other, you as a liberal who got denied your 'welfare' and equal pay for equal work, and me for being a Christian who refuses to bow to Baal, I mean Barack Hussein Obama. I will still pray with you and for you. No hard feelings. See ya soon! Neo Comms! (Communists)...

Yo Jamal, Just in case you didn't know Obama is just another democrate that hates black America. He by default is just a dark skinned white. Mom was white, dad was black he is 50/50 and since whites are the majority and are more powerful than blacks that makes him white. He is going to continue the democratic tradition of taking opportunity away from black people by expanding entitlement programs. It is unfortunate that these entitlement programs will only create a handful of one-hit-oneder hip-hop artists. The rest will continue the tradition of making babies, doing drugs, and killing each other....

Bills like this only fuel the fire of racism. How can John Conyers, a black man submit a bill like this. Does he not know who was elected president. Obama was not raised with a silver spoon, why fund the spoon for other blacks. Although I disagree with his politics he is an example of how hard work and Oprah get you anywhere....
