Charlamagne to Joy Reid: Biden Apology 'Cool'—But What About Reparations?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/24/2020 12:44:01 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Interviewed by Joy Reid today, Charlamagne -- whose actual name is Lenard McKelvey -- began by saying "I know" that the Democrat party takes black voters for granted. As such, he said that he doesn't really care about the "lip service," while allowing that Biden's apology for his "you ain't black" gaffe was "cool, but the best apology is actually a black agenda."

But what is apparently of real interest to Charlamagne is Biden's position on reparations:

"In his black agenda of Lift Every Voice, he committed to studying reparations. And I just wanted to ask him, what does reparations for black people look like to him? And what is he prepared to do based on that study?"

“Who would get paid?”

Answer: People that were never slaves.

“Who would do the paying?”

Answer: People that never owned slaves.

But that last question is more interesting. Will the money be appropriated via a special IRS form for Whites only? If so, how do they separate those that came to America after the War Between The States and settled in the North? How do they separate out the Whites that are descendants of those that died to free slaves?

If the money is taken from general tax revenue, then Blacks will be paying too. Or will there be a special racial exception here? Will Hispanics, Indians and Asians be exempt too?

The point to be made here, is the whole idea of reparations is within the original definition of racist. To give a favorable tax exemption based on race is what used to be called reverse discrimination.

I think the Democrat Party should pay for the reparations.

“what does reparations for black people look like to him? “


So, it’s to be reparations to black people. All black people? The Somalis in ME and MN—do they get payment? Jamaican blacks? Recent immigrants from Nigeria? Would someone like Obama be eligible for reparations? Details, details.

The definition of being a black Democrat is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Yes it was billed as a “remedy“ for “past discrimination“

how many years have gone by before you heard That just now?

Of course the Archibald Cox white liberal elites were excluded from the effects

I wonder if the Biden campaign has already made “reparations” secretly in the past 48 hours To “Charlemagne”?

How about reparations for the 1,000+ years of african & ME muslim enslavement, colonization, rape, murder and terror of European Christians?

At the time of the founding of our country there were more White European and American Christians enslaved by african & ME muslims than there were africans enslaved here.

For anyone of any race who hates this country so much, I would support reparations in the form of resettlement in Africa. But they can’t come back.

Won’t it be interesting if the issue of reparations for slavery contributes to kicking off CWII?

Has anybody ever asked this guy about the "cultural appropriation" of taking the title of a movie about white suburban high school kids for his morning radio show?

How about the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers who gave their life to end slavery?

Have the reparation seekers mentioned them in their extortionist largese?

Money is easy for the Dems to throw around when somebody else pays.

How about some reparations from dirty money the Obamas, Pelosi’s and Bidens got from CHINA!
