Conservative National Radio Host Wayne Allyn Root Announces Support for Black Reparations
Townhall.com ^ | July 11, 2021 | Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 07/11/2021 4:07:29 AM PDT by Kaslin

Yes, it's true. I'm that Wayne Allyn Root. I'm the nationally syndicated conservative radio talk show host. And former conservative television host on Newsmax TV. And bestselling conservative author of 14 books -- including "Trump Rules," "The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide," "Angry White Male" and "The Murder of the Middle Class."

I'm the last guy you'd ever imagine coming out in support of reparations for black Americans. But it's true. I'm going to be the first high-profile conservative to support reparations.

Black Americans deserve reparations. Let's be honest. Look at their cities in ruins. Black inner cities in America look like Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bombs hit.

Have you been to any of them lately? Of course not. What sane person would take a chance by driving through the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn, or Crown Heights, or Bedford Stuyvesant, or Harlem or the infamous South Bronx? Or how about Chicago's black South Side? How about virtually all-black inner cities in Detroit; Baltimore; East St Louis; Newark, New Jersey; Oakland, California; Liberty City in Miami; Cleveland; New Orleans, Memphis, Tennessee; Atlanta and more. The list goes on and on.

These places are synonymous with murder, violent gangs and violent crime. Black cities and neighborhoods are a war zone. A black-on-black genocide. An American tragedy. Not to mention the drug needles, poop, pee, condoms and garbage that litter their mean and hopeless streets.

Black lives do matter. So, yes, they do deserve reparations.

But who is to blame? It's sure not white Americans. Most of us have had nothing to do with the decline of black America. The vast majority of white Americans have never done a bad thing to a black person in our lives. We don't run their cities. We don't go near their cities. We literally have nothing to do with black America.

And none of us were alive for slavery or the civil war, or Jim Crow. My grandparents came to America in the 1920s. They lived in New York. They experienced their own prejudice and discrimination. My relatives had nothing to do with slavery, racism or any civil rights violations.

So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who's to blame? There's only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame.

It's the Democratic Party and Democratic politicians who should pay the trillions of dollars. It's the policies of the Democratic Party that have led to poverty; misery; violent crime through the roof; retail theft on a level never imagined; homelessness; hopelessness; rampant drug dealing and addiction; no fathers in black homes; burned-out buildings; abandoned stores; lack of supermarkets; and streets filled with poop, pee, garbage, condoms and drug needles.

A Republican on the streets of a black inner-city neighborhood is just a rumor. Outside of white cops, no whites go anywhere near those neighborhoods, let alone run them. They are run 100% by Democrats.

So, next time you ask for reparations for black America, start with the DNC. Then knock on the doors of Obama, Biden, Kamala, Hillary, Pelosi and Schumer. For good measure, you might also stop by the offices of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and BLM. What have they ever done for black people? Nothing.

They scream, protest, threaten, intimidate, even inspire hatred, rioting, looting, burning and murder. But when the dollars flow in from guilty white America, corporations, and the federal government, activist leaders like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the founders of BLM get rich. But the black people living in those terrible conditions get little or nothing. Nothing ever changes with Democrats in charge.

And then there's the teacher's unions. They get hundreds of billions of federal and local dollars. Black kids get nothing. Nothing ever changes with failing black schools.

So, yes, I vote for reparations. Let the Democratic Party and Democratic politicians pay. Along with the teacher's unions and BLM. Those are the correct groups to blame. They're in control. They put you in these terrible circumstances. They should pay the damages.

Democrats owe black America. Democrats should be paying the reparations.

We’ve become “5 second sound biters” here, too.

FReepers need to be on guard against fast judgements based on a headline or sound bite alone.

98% at least, probably more of “Conservatives” would not know a Conservative if one bit him on the ass. This is Just another shitbird that has been smoked out. Sean Hannidity even claims to be a Conservative. They even have a club that meets once a year and break their arm patting themselves on the back and saying, “Look at what a good boy am I.” While the Country goes to shit minute by minute.

“Yes they live in inner cities that are in ruins...But they are the ones that ruin them.”

Demonstrated repeatedly in city after city, decade after decade.

I watched it creep out of Detroit from 8 Mile Rd. to 9 Mile Rd., to 10 Mile Rd., to 11 Mile Rd. and on and on. Once nice, safe, working class, family homes neighborhoods became unkept, junk-filled, drug-peddling, dangerous places. And home values declined.

White people did not cause that. Lazy Afro’s with a big, Democrat-fueled chip on their shoulders did that.

Did you read this part of the article?

“So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who’s to blame? There’s only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS.

The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame.

Reparations should start from the countries in Africa who sold blacks into slavery.

He’s not the first. Mark Levin said it before the Democrat Party should pay. The backbenchers are are stealing from his programs again.

You left out black tribes who sold captured rival tribe members to the slavers.

And the thousands of blacks who owned slaves after the war. Find out who their descendants are and bar them from reparations.

2019: Mark Levin: ‘I Support’ Dems Paying ‘Reparations’ to Progeny of Slaves

https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-morris/mark-levin-i-support-dems-paying-reparations-progeny-slaves

Below is a transcript of Mark Levin’s remarks from his show on Monday:

“Now, ladies and gentlemen, I posted on my social sites that I have a proposal for reparations. Stick with me through this whole thing, or you won’t understand what I’m saying.

“I believe, if you can demonstrate that you are progeny of a slave— I don’t mean a recent immigrant who happens to be a minority. No, no, no. I’m not talking about people of that sort. I’m talking about people that, maybe you should get reparations. But who should pay them?

“So, here’s my proposal: The American people, even way back then, didn’t all own slaves. The American people, even way back when, then, weren’t all supportive of slavery. There was a civil war that was fought, fought between two groups – one group, states’ rights and slavery; another group, federalism and anti-slavery. Now, that’s simplistic, but you get the point.

“Now which group is which? Did Abraham Lincoln support slavery? No. Did the Republican Party support slavery? Never. Did the Republican Party support segregation? No. Did the Republican Party support Jim Crow laws in the South? No. Was the Klan an appendage of the Republican Party? No, it was an appendage of the Democrat Party. And every major civil rights bill after the civil war, in the 50s and 60s, was opposed by a significant percentage of elected Democrats and supported by a majority, a significant majority of elected Republicans.

“So, I support reparations. But I do not support the way in which the Kamala Harris’ of the world and the Elizabeth Warren’s in the world want to pay for it. The American people through the tax system shouldn’t pay for reparations. The Democrat Party should pay for reparations. The Democrat National Committee, all the state parties, the Democrats should pay reparations to the distance children of slaves because the Democrat Party, the Democrats – well after the founding of this nation, well after the Declaration and the Constitution, when the country was trying to make things right – it was the Democrats who fought it.

“So, the Democrat Party is the entity that supported slavery as an institutional matter. We have individuals who had slaves, but they didn’t necessarily support the institution per-se. Some did. Some didn’t. But the Democrat Party did – and supported segregation, and supported Jim Crow, at least a significant percentage of it. Not Republicans, and not all Americans.

“And I might remind Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren, and all the rest, that we fought a civil war, over 700,000 casualties, to put an end to slavery. So as a theoretical matter and a practical matter, I’m really against reparations because an awful lot of people lost their lives – including a lot of white people – trying to eliminate slavery. But if we’re going to have it, then the perpetrators, the perps, they should pay for it.”

America paid reparations in the blood of >250K non-black (certainly not Democratic ) soldiers who died to get rid of slavery. Where is the pay back for their families? My ancestors fought for the North in that war, how were their sacrifices compensated?
Not one damn** dime, even the acres and mule many former slaves got.

Goree is correct. Actually, it should have that little accent thingy over the 1st ‘e’ that I can never find on my keyboard.

Excerpts:
A College Education: Even more appalling was hearing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley nattering on like a fledgling social worker about white rage and grasping the niceties of Critical Race Theory.

In spite of the uniform and the eight pounds of medals, he hardly came across like a leader of men. Actually, he came across like his first name should be Milley.


Unmanly Men: Among the many things about America that the Left hates, the nuclear family is very near the top. That’s because it’s one of the very few things standing between Communists and total control of the individual. They already control the schools and the media; now if they could just find a way to get rid of mom and dad, they would have victory locked up.

In case you might be wondering what their idea of Nirvana looks like, pay a visit to the urban areas in which fatherless black kids live like pack animals in the wild.


Blacks & Whites & Reds All Over: It’s obvious that the Communists who have shanghaied the Democratic Party decided that blacks were the most ignorant and easily manipulated segment of their base. Then, with that in mind, they proceeded to coach every issue in racial terms intended to pander to blacks and cast white people, particularly white males, especially those who voted for Trump, as white supremacists, kin to Nazis and Klanners.


When Did America Go Berserk?: We whites are told we owe them because their ancestors were slaves in America, wrenched from their idyllic homelands in Africa.

Today, their descendants, who never picked cotton or felt the whip, claim they are owed money to compensate them for sufferings they never experienced.

There are those, on the other hand, who insist they are owed nothing because it is such a privilege to live in America.

I, like Henry Clay, am a proponent of compromise. I would offer every black person in the country a one-way ticket back to their ancestral home, or they can stay on the condition that they stop collecting welfare and that they never again denigrate this country, never again claim that America is a systemically racist nation.

It is a slander that exposes not only their stupidity, but their lack of gratitude.

It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your stupid mouth and remove all doubt. It would behoove you to actually read the article before commenting, just a suggestion for future reference.

They have paid reparations. The “Great Society” that LBJ started has paid nearly 50 Trillion dollars as reparations, but not to “pay back” blacks, but to keep them in slavery to the Democratic Party.
