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:
“America was founded on principles of liberty and built on the backs of enslaved people. [It’s] time to adopt H.R. 40, Sheila Jackson Lee’s reparations plan. [It’s] time to do what’s right, so that our nation can begin to heal,” Warren stated.
The commission, according to the summary, would examine slavery and discrimination from 1619 to the modern era and “recommend appropriate remedies.”
While Warren said that would be a “big step,” she suggested that more must be done.
“This is a big step but slavery is not the only history we must confront. Jim Crow was the lived reality in American up through the 1960s,” Warren said.
She continued:
Government redlining meant that too often, toxic waste dumps and polluting factories were located far away from white communities and right next to black communities. The 1994 crime bill exacerbated the mass incarceration that locked up millions of black men and women. So don’t talk about race-neutral laws. The federal government helped create the racial divide in this country through decades of active state-sponsored discrimination, and that means the federal government has a responsibility to fix it.

Yep, screeching every outlandish thing she can think up to get a headline, she is angling for the VP slot.
.
If you really, really want a Civil War, then tax people for reparations for something that happened 150 years ago by people who may or may not have taken part.
Yep, I think Trump should announce that the first act of his next term will be to give every black American and illegal alien a million dollars tax free. He should leave out that it is to be paid in Zimbabwe dollars.
How insulting. A fake Indian pandering to the black vote and spending our money for something I didn’t do. I can only wish the worst for that dingbat.
How many trillions are we up to now, Lieawatha?
All she does is pander. Even “her own tribe”, the Indians, don’t like her. I’m sure the Black folks don’t like her, either.
Warren makes Hillary seem sane.
Putin recently said the Dollar would lose it’s reserve currency standard. Perhaps this is how she will help him do it.
Sad commentary.
Chief Commie Wannabe, needs to shut her lying mouth.
Reparations = desperation.
