Kamala Harris on Reparations: ‘Writing a Check’ Not ‘Gonna Be Enough’
« on: July 16, 2019, 03:56:31 pm »

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) believes that “writing a check” to the descendants of slaves is not “going to be enough” when it comes to reparations.
In an interview with Jemele Hill’s podcast that was released on Monday evening, Hill, playing a game of “for or against,” asked Harris if she was “for or against” reparations. Harris answered: “complicated.” Hill, who interviewed Harris during Essence Fest in New Orleans, told her “that wasn’t one of the choices.”
The presidential candidate then elaborated, saying she supports Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s (D-TX) commission to study reparations.

“We need to address how we’re going to do it… because back to the point I was making about home ownership…back to the point I was making about disparities around education… you can look at health outcomes when you know that black women are three to four times more likely to die in connection with child birth,” Harris said. “So there’s a lot that has to be about looking at this in a way that is about structural and systemic investment in communities.”

So it is not enough to take money from people who did nothing and give to people who do not deserve it.  Those innocent people must be punished with a permanent destruction.

It will never end.

And these people believe we are the racists for opposing what is clear to the world as rampant racist attacks.

No kidding. Who believes that a check in any amount will ever be enough.

If there’s one thing we know, at least for those of us conservatives, it’s never enough.

What they really want is a replay of South Africa. Blacks should be able to confiscated homes, land, businesses, and any property belonging to White people. White people should be raped, abused, and murdered by Blacks with impunity. This really is what the far-out radical Black activists want. And they would turn it all into a shit-hole within a decade.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_finances_of_professional_American_athletes


"According to a 2009 Sports Illustrated article, 78% of National Football League (NFL) players are either bankrupt or are under financial stress within two years of retirement and an estimated 60% of National Basketball Association (NBA) players go bankrupt within five years after leaving their sport.[1] Originally the statement "60% of NBA players go bankrupt within five years after leaving their sport" was released by a representative of the NBA Players' Association in 2008 [2][3] A Fortune magazine article states, however, that a working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the percentage of NFL players who go bankrupt after two years is a much smaller 1.9%, climbing to 15.7% after 12 years.[4]"

As a direct descendant of slave-owners, what else does Harris propose for herself to do?

Somebody might suggest that she take a DNA test, like her dem opponent, Warren.

Harris is appealing to blacks merely because of her race.  She has zero personality and has no genuine issues that appeal to the majority of Americans. 

I dined last night at a Chinese restaurant, and in the booth next to me were four black ladies, and they talked about politics for much of the evening.  They were loud enough, it was hard not to hear their conversation.  They all loved Harris, were not very fond of Biden, expressed they liked Buttigeig(which I thought odd), etc.  And after talking politics, one of them said, can we just stop talking politics.  I suspect she was a Trump fan, for she was silent for most of the time.  She sounded irritated with the conversation.

I still say, it will not be any of the leading contenders on the Dems side.  What is happening now is merely prologue to the real drama later in the year.

It will be TRUMP vs Clinton again.  The Dems have no other play.  The repeated sentiment is someone that has a chance to beat Trump.  None in the present clown car have a chance, I do not care what any of the polls imply now.  The Dems are their own worst enemy, and noise makers like the Anarchist Four complicate their efforts to have a viable platform.

You'd think the Democrats should write that check, in part at least, their party.

The slave toiling under the lash does not dream of being free.  He dreams of wielding the lash.

And what of all the lives and assorted body parts sacrificed by all those evil White people to win freedom for all those slaves...................until of course Democrats chained them to an entirely different but just as suffocating plantation? What about them and their families, shouldn't the former slave's families pay them reparations?
