From the awesome big-screen rainbow flag, to the "View" icon on the lower left screen that rotated the gay rainbow, to those they chose to honor; I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I cried at times. I was so touched that they honored Frank Kameny. When I was a junior in college (1981) I applied for an internship with NSA. Long story short, I was denied the position because I was gay. I contacted Frank and after getting all my records through FOIA he told me I had a great case, but I would have to file suit to win. Well I was too young and scared to go through with this (I was at a Catholic college) so I passed. Years, later when I moved to DC we met and had dinner several times. He was one of a kind.

Also, the reparations would target the descendants of African slaves . It does not mean every Black person in America would get a check as reparations from the government. I am Black but I am from the Caribbean, my ancestors were not slaves here. In the Caribbean, we have issues as well that stem from slavery. They too are discussing reparations with Europe. It will be interesting to see what happens when Latin America starts to talk about reparations for the descendants of African slaves that were brought over there. Most of the African slaves who were kidnapped from Africa were sent to the Caribbean and Latin America and not to the states. It is why Black people were always a minority in this country. Reparations is connected to Spain, England, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark who all participated in the enslavement of Africans. So, it is not just an American issue.

From Egyptians to Romans to Normans to current day Sudanese. It is the worst trait of what we call "humans". IT IS REPULSIVE! As an Irish-American, I think Mr. Will is way off track in equating the perils of the Irish immigrants (who chose to come here) vs. AAs who came in chains. My grandparents came from Ireland to NYC and upon seeing the filth of the city, made some money and got on the first train to Scranton, PA, where he worked on the railroad while my grandmother cleaned houses until they had enough money to open a successful restaurant. African-Americans never had that opportunity. I am so sick of Republicans like Mr. Will proclaiming to be former Republicans. Just WTF does that mean? At least Nicolle Wallace admits she's a former Republican and states why. I miss her on The View.

I’m sickened that pediatricians have gotten into this act. Expand This is a pet peeve of mine--forcing babies to put painful holes in their ears that they may not even want later in life. At least wait until the child is 10-12 years old or so. I see this all the time here in the south--tiny infants barely a month old with earrings on. It makes me crazy. Not to mention the risk of infection. Regarding reparations, I think they could concentrate on the education aspect: refurbish all schools and bring them up to code, make sure all students have the resources for an equal education, provide supplies so that teachers don't have to use their own money to buy supplies. etc., etc. Edited June 22, 2019 by Gemma Violet 1 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94301-the-view-week-of-6172019/page/8/#findComment-5391933

Haha. we used to love to watch him and Cokie and Sam on This Week - George would weave a very interesting discussion starting with "the founding fathers" - we enjoyed all his long winded discourses although we rarely agreed with him.

From Egyptians to Romans to Normans to current day Sudanese. It is the worst trait of what we call "humans". IT IS REPULSIVE! As an Irish-American, I think Mr. Will is way off track in equating the perils of the Irish immigrants (who chose to come here) vs. AAs who came in chains. My grandparents came from Ireland to NYC and upon seeing the filth of the city, made some money and got on the first train to Scranton, PA, where he worked on the railroad while my grandmother cleaned houses until they had enough money to open a successful restaurant. African-Americans never had that opportunity. I am so sick of Republicans like Mr. Will proclaiming to be former Republicans. Just WTF does that mean? At least Nicolle Wallace admits she's a former Republican and states why. I miss her on The View. Mr. Will pontificates on and on about the failings of the Republican party but never offers an alternative. Another old white protestant man looking to sell books. You're time has come and gone George; retire gracefully. Expand The only time I’ve ever found George Will tolerable was when he was discussing baseball. He pulls the stick out of his butt, unwinds slightly, and shows some enthusiasm. 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94301-the-view-week-of-6172019/page/8/#findComment-5392002

If tomorrow, Congress passed a reparations bill worth $100B how would that be divvied up? Simply by the color of your skin, if you are bi-racial do you get half, if tri-racial do you get a third? What about those people of color who have no ties to slavery? I'm a lily-white liberal, but if you think we have racial tension now I can't imagine how this would ignite the nationalists. MM, it's high time you realize (as hard it may be) Senators are not your uncles. Not Lieberman, not Kennedy, not Biden, not even Auntie Lindsay. They were kind to you simply because you were your father's daughter and they had an agenda. They don't give a shit about you. On a more positive note: I love, love, love the View's Pride Month moments. From the awesome big-screen rainbow flag, to the "View" icon on the lower left screen that rotated the gay rainbow, to those they chose to honor; I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I cried at times. I was so touched that they honored Frank Kameny. When I was a junior in college (1981) I applied for an internship with NSA. Long story short, I was denied the position because I was gay. I contacted Frank and after getting all my records through FOIA he told me I had a great case, but I would have to file suit to win. Well I was too young and scared to go through with this (I was at a Catholic college) so I passed. Years, later when I moved to DC we met and had dinner several times. He was one of a kind. Thank you, The View. And Thank You Frank Kameny, may you RIP. I absolutely love Sunni's necklace. And I want one.

Reparations should be made, but a general tax makes me think why me, I had nothing to do with it. Expand The reason that white people who are not descended from slave owners should help pay for this is that we continue to benefit from the oppression of black people in this society. This country was built by slaves and we benefit daily from what their enslavement and labor produced. 4 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94301-the-view-week-of-6172019/page/8/#findComment-5392097

Dogcatcher is still too good. She def doesnt even deserve that, but i dont want to demean anything 'lower, under' whatever. Everybody has to do something.
