  1. The Indian Claims Commission had the federal government pay out over a billion dollars in the 50s 60s and 70s to Native American groups.

    It is general considered that the federal government did not feel the Natives were competent to get the money directly and held it in trusts.

    North Carolina and Japan has paid reparations for government ran forced sterilization programs, California is considering the same.

    Florida has paid reparations to the victims of Rosewood who where brutalized by the Klan and other racist terrorists back in the 20s.  The state acknowledged they did nothing to curb the violence.

    Interred Japanese Americans were compensated for racist government policies during WW2.

    Or the likes of Rep. Rob Woodall.

    FTA:

    Georgia Republican Rob Woodall offered a boastful explanation for why he has no interest in reading any part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, even citing his past disinterest in reviewing accusations against Bill Clinton in 1998.

     

    I guess he doesn't read anything?

     

     

    Why read when he can look at facebook videos and get the true story.  At least he is retiring after this term.

    It is hilarious to watch the left and the GID "deep thinkers" grasp at their tin foil hat conspiracy theories promoted by their fake news outlets.

    I want to see (Guilty Until Proven Innocent) Mueller testify before congress and get humiliated by Republicans.

    Exactly....Louie "Goober" Gohmert and Jim "Meathead" Jordan will completely embarrass Mueller.

    The only triple digit IQ in the entire Trump collusion scandal is Mueller.

    That's all well and good, but if that were actually likely happening, then the numbers should, for the most part, map out against the population unless there's something inherently different about Black women being cadets at West Point.  If, as you say, there's "nothing to see here" that would likely be born out in the data, which it isn't.  In the Army, there are roughly equal numbers of Black women enlisted as there are White women.  In the US military, Blacks make up a larger percentage of personnel than they do in the population ... 17% in the military vs. roughly 13% in the civilian population.  As such, the lack of Black officers can't be pawned off as "there just aren't a lot of them signing up to be soldiers."  Despite being 17% of the US military, Blacks make up roughly 6% of the active duty officer corps.  Assuming, if "everyone is equal" then what accounts for the vast difference in representation of officer vs. enlisted between the races?  By contrast, Whites make up roughly 60% of the active duty enlisted, but have over 75% representation in the active duty officer corps.

    People are putting out separate classes and "parading it around" because there are plenty of people who like to say that race doesn't matter and we should all just move forward when there are still data points that show that there's still an issue to contend with.  It's admirable that people are colorblind and accept all people the way that they are, but that doesn't change the fact that we still have a ways to go in making sure that bears out in many other areas where it is just as important and much less one-to-one, like housing, hiring, progression, etc.  MLK said, "I dream of a day ..." and while we've made great strides toward getting toward that dream, we still have, as Frost alluded to, "miles to go before I [we] sleep."  I already acknowledged the positive strides, but I'm not yet content that we've gotten where we need to get .

    Yeah but we elected a black President....

    Any GID members who also happen to be employed as journalists and members of the press care to comment?

     

    This is what authoritarian leadership does to the 4th estate.

  6. Leakiest White House.....Ever!

    Luckily we have a stable genius at the helm.  Other wise we might be subject to weekly tweetstorm tantrums, Rose Garden tantrums, and then a whole bunch of Kelly Conways an Huckleberry Sanders telling us just how stable and geniusy he is.

    Where would those indictments of Hillary Clinton come from?  The Obama DOJ?

    Image result for james Comey

     

    Comey is a Republican.  He deemed them non criminal.  As were all the other Republican manufactured scandals of the Obama Era.

    So it's a uni-party political witch hunt.  Big deal.   If such a scandal had broken during Obama's administration and the democrats had controlled Congress would we have seen this level of  taxpayer dollars spent of investigations, hearings, etc.?

     

     

    If a bear craps in the woods does it still stink?

    Perhaps congress will conduct a more thorough investigation than the two year long great Mueller investigation with 19 democrat prosecutors, 40 FBI agents, 2,800 subpeonas, 500 search warrants while pissing away over $25,000,000.

    Libtards are easily manipulated, gullible fools.

    Except this investigation exposed crooked donald and his campaign, put crooks behind bars, showed collusion, obstruction and made the country money by seizing trump's campaign manager's stolen money.  Win for democracy!

    The cost will probably be closer to 35 million (easily offset by getting 42 million back from Donald's capo Manafort)

    13 of the prosecutors were democrat.

    Congress is investigating the blatant cover up now.
