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.”

If Blacks want total segregation again, they should just say so.

I’m somewhat disappointed there were no witty references to the R&B singer of the same name.

A Bush Hog or a DR field and brush mower ought to do the trick.
