Shirley Jackson Lee and Reparations Group Urge Biden to Buy Black Vote With Reparations Commission
The New American ^ | April 26, 2024 | R. Cort Kirkwood

Posted on 04/27/2024 9:29:44 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and advocates of slavery reparations are openly — and loudly — urging President Joe Biden to establish a commission that would dangle the prospect of free cash in front of black voters to help defeat GOP presidential opponent Donald Trump.

But the report in the Daily Mail about the latest Democratic scam doesn’t just show that Lee and her ilk have no trouble calling for what amounts to legalized theft.

It also shows that Democrats are terrified that Trump might defeat the physically and mentally declining president. Biden trails Trump in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average of nationwide polls. But, more importantly, Trump leads Biden by substantial margins in six of the seven key battleground states.

The way to shore up support among blacks: Bribe them with reparations talk. The problem: The plan could backfire if non-black voters who oppose reparations turn out to vote for Trump.

The Plan

Lee and her gang “say Biden should bypass Congress and use his executive powers to create a slavery payouts panel to put him over the line against rival Donald Trump,” the Mail reported. Though Lee has been pushing reparations in Congress for years, the idea went nowhere, the Mail rightly noted, even after the George Floyd Hoax of 2020.

But a pro-reparations outfit called the Earn the Black Vote Collaborative claims that a poll of uncertain black voters in Michigan showed that some 58 percent might vote for Biden if he created a commission. Total votes for Biden: 150,000. And, the group’s news release said, Biden beat Trump in Michigan in 2020 by a slim 154,000 votes. He needs every vote he can get.

I still do not believe very many of my fellow Michiganders are conservative voters. I was proudly one of the 10,400 margin voters who got Trump to win Michigan in 2016.

But if some "independents" and wobbly Dems might be angry over having to pay money to people who had no relationship to the enslaved people in the 1800s then it might be the cause of another "whitelash" black commenters talked about once.

They know they’re losing many Black votes.

It won’t work this time for those who are Woke up in the true sense.

-No person living in the USA today had anything to do with slavery that once existed in our Country. There is no reason (legal or moral) to punish people who committed no offense.

-Over a half-million Union soldiers were killed, wounded, captured, or missing. The effect on families for generations thereafter is beyond calculation. They should be first inline for reparations, n'est ce pas?

-How about slavery that exists world wide, today? It's all on the internet. Where's the outrage about that?

So, is Sheila Jackson Lee saying that the Black vote is for sale? I would hope that they would vote for the best interests of the country.

Democratic strategist: “That’s it! Create a commission to study reparations for the colored folks! After the election is over, create the commission, have them study the matter for a couple of years, conclude that reparations should be paid, and that another commission should be formed right after the 2028 election to figure out how to pay the reparations. Write the report, publish it, and spread it into the dimwit’s community. They will eat it up and vote for us both in 2024 and 2028!”

Sounds like a Conspiracy to Defraud the Taxpayers of their money, why hasn’t the AG in Texas INDICTED her and he co-conspirators for this?

The Africans aren’t owed a thing by the Caucasian Americans now living. We’ve been paying for those deadbeats to ride in the wagon for centuries. Raising and paying for their children. They can go dig up the slave owners (if they ever actually existed) and get their 40 acres and a mule from them.

Well, it is not so bad now. The slavers are still largely muslims, but you should respect their religion and not criticize their deeply held beliefs. But more importantly, the slaves are now much more diverse and inclusive! Blacks, Asians, even some whites! Isn't diversity and inclusion grand?

I’m sure this douchebag with two slave owner and “white supremacist” names has lived a tough life of being discriminated against and not being able to get a decent job. If the life this whinyass bimbo actually existed, she’d be working at an omelette shack or doing laundry. Affirmative action biatch.

There were blacks who owned black slaves, too. Even back then there was a ‘well to do’ black culture as there is today, who could afford slaves.

Let them pay their reparations, too.

I can pretty much guess who Sheila has in mind to serve on the "commission". Perhaps they'd get more traction is selling this bit of extortion if they entertained Joe with an old classic work song.

People who want free stuff support free stuff for themselves. Surprise.

These days, America isn’t their country anymore. They’ve destroyed our history, our heroes and everything American. They have their own National Anthem. Nope, they aren’t Americans. The are Africans who plan to live in this country on millions of stolen taxpayer dollars while not paying taxes themselves. Shop, Spend, Boink and Eat. That’s the American Dream they dream of.
