Hola mis amigos.

Just catching up on the news after spending an enjoyable evening with my family until I read this.

Reparations Disclaimer on Slavery Apology Stirs Backlash Among House Dems

A disclaimer at the end of the Senate slavery apology, dealing with the touchy issue of reparations, is causing some dissension among House Democrats and may prevent the two chambers from coming together on the measure.

The disclaimer says: “Nothing in this resolution (A) authorizes or supports any claim against the United States or (B) serves as a settlement of any claim against the United States.”

“I would not want to have any language in place that would deny anyone, any citizen, the right to address a grievance,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas.

“I feel that some method other than just an apology should be made. People should be made whole,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said.

This flames my ass…this is total bullshit!
