I've seen this bill come up before, specifically in '97 and '01.

HR 40
To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to 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, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.

Now it's back:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.40.IH:

Why does this keep coming up?

Are they sure 8 million is enough? :stupid

Seriously? :stupid

There is no doubt that was a bad period in our history, and hopefully we've learned from it. But it's time to LET IT GO!! It is not affecting anyone's life today. Do we still have issues with racism? Absolutely. But that has nothing to do with slavery and everything to do with narrowmindedness and ignorance.

My "Other Mother" is black and she is appalled by all this BS, as are all her black friends. We all agree, the "entitlement mentality" sucks.

Ya know, the Irish immigrants were treated horribly and horrifically and yet no one ever talks about what they endured. Where's the justice? Where are the reparations? :pissed

For such a great country we have way more than our fair share of idjits. :rolleyes

I would support this with a condition that any and all that take money also get a free boat ride back "home", never to return to the U.S.

That ain't ever gonna happen. The NBA (remember, white men can't jump) would go under, the NFL would become a "running game" league, and who would do our janitorin'? Oh, and not to mention the lack of "breaking news" everyday when another "choirboy" goes wrongfully accused bad. :stupid

I don't think NFL or NBA players need anymore $$$, they probably don't wanta leave either. As for janitors, refer back to our H.S. grads. I don't see a shortage happening.
