Elizabeth Warren Calls for a ‘Full-Blown National Conversation About Reparations’
Breitbart ^ | 11/22/2019 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 11/22/2019 12:57:43 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Thursday delivered a speech at Clark Atlanta University, and declared that it is time to adopt Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s (D-TX) legislation on reparations. Warren delivered a speech at the historically black university Thursday evening and stressed the need to pass Lee’s reparations legislation, which “establishes the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans.”

“Let’s be clear: It’s time for our government to have a full-blown national conversation about reparations,” Warren wrote in a tweet containing a video of her remarks:

Yes, let’s do this. The democrat party supported slavery, democrats owned slaves. Its times they started paying reparations.

She needs to take some black votes away from Biden if she’s going to win. This idea that has taken hold that she’s the front runner is wrong.

The fact that she’s saying stuff like this and her sick remark about how Michael Brown was murdered proves that she thinks Biden is still ahead, which he is.

IMHO, the “conversation” has been going on ever since Affirmative Action was put in place, 50+ years ago.

I thought the half million soldiers killed in the Civil War to free the slaves was enough.

Any such conversation will likely be very short and very one-sided.

The dems are screwed if they run this shrieking maniac or the gay guy(?). Not a single man, black or whatever color, is going to vote for either of them. They can promise all they want, aint gona happen.

Reparations for what, exactly? Affirmative action has been used, non-discrimination language has been written into virtually every part of the law codes at the Federal and state levels, and even the Head Start programs have been extended widely throughout the minority populations, which in places are no longer truly minority at all.

Or is this only for certain minorities, and A BLATANT BID FOR VOTES?

“Another “conversation” is just what I need right now. Just take me out back and shoot me.”

Uh, no.

Instead, arise, take up thy weapon and go ye unto the range full of righteous purpose, and place profusion of rounds in the X-ring.

I am so sick of this pandering bitch

Self righteous pandering bitch. Can you imagine listening to her for four years? Kamela Harris is as bad. She always seems like she's "enhanced" by some very special secret sauce.

>>Great! Here’s how the conversation will go:
>>No.
>>Now scram.

Now, don’t be hasty.. I’d like to hear about how the Blacks are going to repay the Whites for all the blood and treasure we’ve expended on their behalf.

1820 was 1820. Thats when whitey Christian whitey... outlawed slavery in the civilized world.

In comparison, Islam has been carrying on. It still openly practices slavery in over 12 nations in Africa.

Farrakhan should wake up to his muslim overlords and set his people free..

Never owned a negro, no one in my family ever did either. Some of my distant relatives from Ireland may have been slaves though.

End of discussion.
