"When I am elected president I will sign that bill," Harris said.
Speaking at the 2019 National Action Network convention, then-2020 presidential candidate Kamala Harris pledged to sign a bill into law that would provide reparations for black Americans. Vice President Kamala Harris is now the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
Founder and president of the civil rights organization Reverend Al Sharpton asked Harris, "In the area of reparations of for descendants of Africans enslaved: If you're elected president would you sign that bill if it came across your desk?" The bill in question was one proposed by deceased Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to form a commission to study the implementation of reparations in the country.
"When I am elected president I will sign that bill," Harris replied in the April 2019 post-speech Q&A with Sharpton.

p
I am all for reparations paid by slave owners to former slaves.
All former slaves, please line up for your reparations.
is kammy’s grandpa still alive?
That was her then... Lol... It’s her now too, but she’ll never admit that in public.
The Democrats are doing the same as the Labor party in the UK... Saying they will rule one way, and then returning to their old ways after they’re elected. They said they had gotten rid of their anti-Semite leader Corbin, and that they were now pro-Israeli... The first chance that they get to screw over the Israeli’s, and they go and do just that... And they do it right after Israel finds 6 dead hostages.
They are beyond reproach and Harris and Walz will be too, if they get elected.
A good start on that would be finding out how many of the 400,000 unaccompanied children that Biden/Harris “lost” are now sex slaves, and how much in in-kind payments Biden/Harris got for those kids.
there were only 400,000 slaves brought to north America, the new slaves by the democrat party
No doubt the bill will be worded in such a way that Kamala will qualify for some of the money. She may not be descended from anyone who was a slave in the US, but she did have to ride a school bus in Berkeley (which she bizarrely talked about in one of the debates in the 2020 cycle—the bussing was intended to benefit black children).
I’ve been paying reparations all my adult life. Doing my part to fund welfare, police, midnight basketball, free school lunch, salaries of DEI staffers, etc. I’m good with a hand up vs. a handout. But I see more of the latter than the former.
The right answer for Ms. Harris would have been, NO. That slavery ended decades ago and there will always be stupid racists of all kinds, everywhere. That she proposes education, learning marketable skills, a strong free market creating jobs, and traditional values as the underlying keys to success for all. THAT would have taken courage and would have demonstrated true leadership.
Of course her path to success involved a sexual relationship with a man who was married with kids. So there’s her values system.
Blacks owe white people money , not the other way around
Kam will screw the blacks again because if she is elected the dollar will collapse and a buck will be worth $.10.
It’s been nothing BUT reparations what with welfare and Affirmative Action, since The Great Society.
She'll give more money to illegals too. Why not? It's a way for her to give the finger to the American people and it's not her money anyhow. People said it was 'soul killing' to work under her...now we'll all be working for her...
By all means, send her the bill
... so,as the offspring of a slave owner, she can pay the check.
With what money?
Congress going to fund this scheme?
So Al Sharptongue said the “reparations for the descendants of slaves”.
I’ll bet when they start filling out forms to trace their heritage back to the civil war 98% of them will claim the same great great great grandparents.
I can not think of a more destructive and decisive policy ever thunk up for society. If anyone thinks race relations are bad now, just pass reparations for people who were never slaves. No wonder the democrats like it. But if you listen to the bums on the “reparations advisory boards” they just want free stuff even though they are quite wealthy.
That’s some debate material Trump can throw at Kammy.
But Trump won’t have much of a chance to go on the offense.
It will be everyone in the room against Trump.
The MSM has memory holed this.
Just saw a story in Newsweek about Kamala and reparations, and - wait for it - they left out The Big One; that in 2019 she publicly declared that as President she would sign a Bill to pay reparations to blacks.
Dims always campaign on reparations but never deliver.
They accuse repubs of cutting Medicare and Social Security, but they steal from those programs to fund new green scam deals. They accuse Trump of colluding with Russia while they are colluding with China.
Fun times.
