Dem Rep. Green Calls for Creation of ‘Dept. of Reconciliation’ to ‘Eliminate Racism and Discrimination’
Breitbart ^ | June 15 2020 | TRENT BAKER

Posted on 06/15/2020 12:53:52 PM PDT by knighthawk

In the wake of Rayshard Brooks’ death recently in Atlanta and George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, both incidents involving law enforcement, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) took to MSNBC to call for the establishment of a “Department of Reconciliation.”

Green, on Saturday, said having a secretary of the Department of Reconciliation would work to “eliminate racism and discrimination in this country.”

“Black lives just don’t matter as much as white lives,” Green argued. “And this is something that can only be cured by quick reactions from mayors such as what the mayor of Atlanta has done. She’s done the right thing. And also, we have to have speedy arrests and speedy trials. This will help. But in the long run, we will have to reconcile. We have not reconciled our differences in this country. We are still in a state of amnesty at best, wherein we are still trying to determine what our status is in this country. We ought to, at some point, reconcile. This is why I have introduced legislation to have a department of reconciliation with a secretary of reconciliation that reports to the President of the United States whose job it will be to develop a strategy and implement the strategy to eliminate racism and discrimination in this country.”

My first reaction is that it would be as successful as the War on Drugs was on eliminating drugs and the War on Poverty was at eliminating poverty.

But there is a HUGE difference. True racism is almost entirely non-existent but drugs and poverty will never go away.

Any moral high ground that may have existed following the death of George Floyd immediately evaporated with the rioting and destruction of property in the aftermath.

We have a rule of law. The police officer was charged and is entitled to his day in court. The businesses looted and burned were owned by people who had nothing to do with the death of Floyd. If they were targeted because the owners were white, then they are worse than the cop, in my opinion. At least the cop was apprehending a criminal who was committing a crime. What was the owners of Target and Walmart guilty of?

Not really. Blacks need to make an effort to end their discrimination. The old example of a white man having his car break down in a black neighborhood versus a black man breaking down in a white neighborhood are likely to have vastly different outcomes. Other minorities have less discrimination and blacks need to ask why, since discrimination is a learned behavior. The reason is because of the way blacks treat whites...it's a two-way street. Since the War on Poverty started, we have thrown over $3 trillion to help minorities, but I see little coming back to the taxpayer from those funds. White and blacks need to work on their prejudices.

Where are all the thousands of good black folk protesting against this black on black murder and violence? Where are the thousand of black folk in the streets protesting against black looting, rioting and arson?

I don’t see any of that.

"Dem Rep. Green Calls for Creation of ‘Dept. of Reconciliation’ to ‘Eliminate Racism and Discrimination’"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutional given the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds the specific powers to address racism issues outside the scope of voting rights issues, evidenced by the 15th Amendment.

Post-Civil War constitutional lawmakers maybe should have included anti-discrimination, anti-segregation language in the 13th, 14th or 15th Amendments.

On the other hand, misguided federal lawmakers like Green are showing that they don’t care what the Constitution that they swore to protect and defend says anyway.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

work to “eliminate racism and discrimination in this country.”

Does that mean we are going to get rid of the black caucus and the NAACP?
