‘Trauma Lives in the Black Body’ – Cori Bush, Dem Reps Call For $14 Trillion in Federal Reparations to Compensate Descendants of Enslaved Africans
gateway pundit ^ | 5/17/2023 | Cristina Laila

Democrat Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution demanding what is estimated to be $14 trillion in federal reparations.

Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and Barbara Lee unveiled the resolution on Wednesday.

Bush said black people ‘continue to live under slavery’ because of the black-white wealth gap.

Rep. Bowman said, “Trauma lives in the black body.”

“Research has shown this from generation to generation trauma lives in the body and lives in the blood vessels and lives in the DNA and the cells and the mind,” Bowman said, according to the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail reported:

A number of House Democrats led by Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to reignite a push for federal reparations that would amount to over half the U.S. GDP.

The resolution states that the U.S. has a ‘legal and moral’ obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of black people and calls for $14 trillion to be paid – ‘at least the amount of the black white wealth gap,’ Bush told DailyMail.com during a press conference.

The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.

The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William ‘Sandy’ Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.

This retarded bitch is so traumatized that she’s a member of the Congress of the United States of America. The bitch needs to see a shrink. BAD.

A 100, 50, 20, and 10 trillion banknote set. Bought it on eBay around 20 years ago. It’s a lot of zeros in more ways than one.

Offer it on the condition that they give up their citizenship and return to Africa. It would be worth it to never hear from these race hustlers again.

I worked with a lot of black men and women who worked in refineries. They showed up to work everyday and made a ton of money working overtime. And never did they complain about this country or about it’s past.

Barf.

There is so much here for the comedians.

As Steve Harvey, says, referring to comedians, “when something bad happens, while everyone else is stunned, crying, etc, we already have the jokes. We can’t say them, mind you, no ones ready for them, we’d get slaughtered, .... but we have the jokes....”

Black people live the way they do primarily due to black people living the way they do.

And this is pretty much true for mostly everyone.

It’s much cheaper to send them back to Africa if they don’t like it here.

The majority of black ppl have benefited from living in our great country, no matter what happened in the past

Remember, it was warring tribes in Africa that fought with other tribes, and sold those they defeated to slave traders.

Plus, many slave owners were black back in the day.

Racism is almost gone these days.

But the left, encouraged by Biden et al and their lies, are led to believe that racism is still a big problem.

They make money by pushing their false narrative.

Probably too late to convince them they are not entitled. Our government has forced even the media into the arena for the government’s gladiator games. Welcome to the party you helped create lamestream media ….. your sons and daughters just became entrants in the games too.

Between this reparation scam and Biden talking about the evils of “white supremacy”, we are going to wind up with a hot race war.
