Sen. Kamala Harris said this morning she supports “some type of” reparations to black Americans for slavery.
In an interview with the “Breakfast Club,” a radio show on New York City’s Power 105.1, host Charlamagne asked Kamala Harris about reparations. “Where do you stand on some form of reparations for black people? Here you see Mayor De Blasio saying the marijuana economy could be a form of reparations. Marianne Williamson says black people should get a hundred billion in slave reparations–like, where do you stand on it?”
Harris responded:
Well look, I think that we have got to address that again, it’s back to the inequities. There, through–look, America has a history of 200 years of slavery. We had Jim Crow. We had legal segregation in America for a very long time. The Voting Rights Act was only strong for 50 years and then they wiped it out with this United States Supreme Court in the Shelby decision, to the point that 22 states immediately thereafter put in place laws that one court found were crafted with surgical precision to have black people not be able to vote.”
So we’ve got to recognize, back to that earlier point, people aren’t starting out on the same base, in terms of their ability to succeed and so we have got to recognize that and give people a lift up. And, there are a number of ways to do it. Part of my initiative again around the ‘Lift Act’ is that same point–you lifting people up who are making less than a hundred thousand dollars a year. What I want to do about rent is the same thing. What we need to do around education and understanding disparities, what we need to do around HBCUs. But we have a history of racism in America.
Charlamagne asked again, “So you are for some type of reparations?”
“Yes I am, yes I am,” Harris responded.
Donna Brazile and April Ryan are also out there pushing for a handout…
Reparations & Affirmative Action = Institutionalized Racism
I demand reparations from the U.S. government for allowing and aiding and abetting an epic invasion of millions of illegal aliens to enter our country, as they’ve forced ALL Americans to pay for and subsidize this country killing lawless insanity.
Pay up!!
So we give the franchise on dope selling to Black Americans?
That won’t cause much disruption in society since they already have experience in the trade. All we have to do is legalize it so they won’t go to jail, license them as US Authorized Dealers, and presto, we have major reparations.
This may cause some envy among white or Hispanic dealers, so we have to integrate them into the dealer structure under the Black licensees to prevent a gang war.
This will empty out a lot of prison cells.
Dear God, please bankrupt American government soon
Its our only hope.
I’ll make a one-time reparations deal.
US blacks get $100 billion divided evenly between them by number. Submit DNA, anyone with 50% or more will qualify.
In return, the nation gets an end to welfare programs. Blacks no longer get to be handout-dependent from then on and have to work to eat just like everyone else.
Ratification was 1789, that makes it 76 years.
I would say it’s more LBJ than FDR. LBJ passed the Great Society programs that have cost untold Trillions and yet it is not enough and never will be.
The way I look at this:
Trump has bettered the lot of African Americans who are willing to work. The Dems have to shore up the Black base, and part of that is the gibsmedat crowd, who are motivated and excited by the prospect of freebees.
It’s just routine base-motivation-and-retention advertising.
Gotta keep those folks on the plantation.
The civil war WAS reparations
Sen. Kamala Harris said this morning she supports “some type of” reparations to black Americans for slavery.
Well you are a Democrat so set them free! That should be reparations enough!
not a natural born citizen. Unqualified to be president.
Caramela the “magic” Negress, lived in LA.
Her momma and her daddy were born way outside
The good old U.S.A.!
Caramela thinks she’s fooling every one she sees
Telling all her sista hoods
She’s Black —but not Authentically!
Without her lifelong Willie,
She’s going to find it tough
To push the thought that we all owe her peeps
All kinds of pay and stuff.
This woman needs to be expunged, now. She is as much a
fraud to Black US Citizens as Liz Warren is to Cherokee Indians. It is time to define WHAT a Natural Born Citizen is— for a Natural Born Cherokees (Both Parents Cherokee, and US Citizens) have more legal eligibility to run for President than this harridan EVER had.
Re: Post #3 That is funny..I love watching History’s Alien shows...
I would go with 1776—the time when the colonies declared independence and the name “the United States of America” was invented. 89 years to 1865.
Slavery was here before the Spanish set foot in the New World. Probably the Paleo-Indians introduced it, but at any rate native tribes were practicing slavery before the Europeans arrived.

Kamala Harris’s campaign model seems to be to win the White House without any white votes. Any white person not in favor of paying reparations would be crazy to vote for her.
According to The World Almanac, Shelby County v. Holder was a 2013 decision. "The justices ruled that a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, meant to prevent discriminatory voting regulations from being enacted, was unconstitutional because it relied on outdated information to identify areas for additional scrutiny."
The last time I voted, I saw black people there at the polling place also voting. Somehow they had not found out that they weren't allowed to vote any longer.
I want my money back that paid for social welfare programs. It’s a large number.
