ormer Colorado Gov. and 2020 Democrat presidential candidate John Hickenlooper said Friday that he will support legislation to establish a commission to study reparations for black Americans if elected president.
Hickenlooper endorsed the measure while speaking at the four-day conference of the National Action Network, the civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton. The MSNBC host asked whether Hickenlooper would sign such a bill as president, and when he began to equivocate, the crowd became agitated, with one audience member crying out: “Yes or no!”
Hickenlooper quickly went off script and shouted, “Yes, I’m gonna pass it!”

I think every Democrat candidate supports it.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), would “make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long-delayed process of atonement for slavery.”
Other 2020 presidential contenders such as Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) have voiced support for the measure. White House candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is a co-sponsor of the bill.
On Wednesday, former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) came out in favor of it, declaring at the National Action Network conference that he would “absolutely I would sign that into law.”

White cuck pandering to the Vibrant crowd will never work.
When will cucks like Hickenlooper wake up? He has no future with the Vibrants.
GREAT!!
It will go nowhere and it will be a GREAT slogan for Rs.
But some on here will weep and gnash teeth that it’s a done deal already. :)
Yeah. Sure.
Because so far, since about 1860 or so, this country hasn't done anything like that. Haven't even begun atoning. Uh-huh.
The leftist litmus tests are getting hard.........
A man (Hickenlooper) who goes to porno movies with his own mother (by his own admission) is not going to draw the line at anything.
What the hell is there to ‘study’?
Why not demand reparations from those that sold you into slavery originally?
Hint: It wasn’t white men raiding villages to capture tribesmen so they could enslave them.
It’s all for show, Lickin’pooper needs the attention. He’s such a minor candidate, why do they even bother...
What a perv. Biden should get along well with him.
Hickenlooper is not going anyplace. I could almost guarantee it. He’s goofier than Beto.
This crowd here probably knows it too, but they just enjoy yelling and screaming complaints at any white male face who allows it. Think David in the Lions Den, only these Lions cannot be so easily tamed.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), would “make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long-delayed process of atonement for slavery.”
She Jack is the nut in the nut house. Her proposals make for great headlines, but don’t go anywhere.
Trump is making HUGE inroads with the black community SO the Dems promise blacks FREE MONEY to win their votes back!!! As far as I am concerned we already have reparations it is called welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, AND affirmative action!!!
More demand for theft by government from leftists.

“A man (Hickenlooper) who goes to porno movies with his own mother (by his own admission) is not going to draw the line at anything.”
Well...reparations will finish the country...
I listened to a group of ‘activists’ that demanded reparations of about $144,000 per African-American.
Would that also be given at the birth of every AA?
Giving into blackmail (can I use that term?) will only get you more demands.
I don’t owe them a penny. No one does. We are not in arrears to the dead. Screw every Leftists that thinks otherwise: they are the Enemy of America, Mankind and even Reason itself.
