NFL legend Herschel Walker argued against reparations for black Americans at a congressional hearing, saying: 'Slavery ended over 130 years ago.'
Walker made his case to members of the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties who met via Zoom on Wednesday to discuss House Resolution 40, which aims to 'establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery'.
The athlete, who played for the University of Georgia and won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 before going pro, asserted that compensating black Americans for the lasting impacts of slavery would cause more harm than good.

If Trump comes back for 2024, the votes will come back.
Herschel needs to run against Warnock in next year. Would be hard for the Dems to play the race card against him.

Why shouldn’t blacks also pay?
They started legalized black slavery.
They participated in slavery 20 more than whites.
They sold their fellow Africans into slavery by capturing them.
They continue to call free slaves who are not on the Democratic party plantation “Uncle Toms”.
If Trump comes back for 2024, the votes will come back.

Look for them to force it as an issue by making payments annual and ongoing. I hope I’m wrong but I’m just trying to think like someone void of morality would.
Unless it’s an EO, which won’t hold-up in court, the Senate will kill it. I hope.
Black economist and sometimes Rush Limbaugh guest host Walter E. Williams issued a Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon to All Persons of European Descent. No reparations needed.
Except the black community considers reparations necessary because every white is guilty of systemic racism, and every black has been on the receiving end. That way, when the alleged racism continues, so does the money flow. We will be endlessly guilty and they will be endlessly aggrieved. This isn’t about making amends for slavery in order to be forgiven, it’s about Marxism and revenge.
Nothing will ever be enough. Our grandchildren will be slaves.
I hear you Wiser ... of course that demand for why reparations is necessary is nonsense, but most importantly it is unconstitutional. The question back to believers (including many white leftists) of this divisive, insidious falsehood is why are they dehumanizing fellow Americans based on skin color? Did they not learn anything from our history?
I don’t think they did, nor do they care. They want power, and they will be as hypocritical and disingenuous as necessary to get it, and keep it.
Logic? The Constitution? Bah! Humbug!
yes, quite an impressive man.
