House Democrats scheduled a debate and vote on reparations for black Americans.

Democratic Chairman Jerry Nadler says the bill “is not intended to divide” America.

Republican President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves on January 1, 1863.

FOX News reported:

Quote

    The House took a step forward on a slavery reparations bill Friday by scheduling it for debate and a vote in the Judiciary Committee.

    The bill would set up a commission to study reparations. If voted out of committee, the matter would come up on the House floor for the first time since 1989. The late Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., introduced slavery reparations legislation in the House each session for nearly 30 years to no avail.

    Committee chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said the measure, which is widely opposed by Republicans, is “not intended to divide” but to “bring us closer to racial understanding and advancement.”

    “Today we still live with racial disparities in access to education, health care, housing, insurance, employment and other social goods that are directly attributable to the damaging legacy of slavery and government-sponsored racial discrimination,” Nadler said in a statement.

The Democrat Party reneged on this agreement.  They alone are liable for reparations.  Not the United States, but the Democrat Party.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The Dems have control in the Senate as well.  Of course it will pass and will guarantee the Dems the black vote.  The upcoming amnesty will guarantee the Hispanic vote.  Anyone truly still think that the GOP has a snowballs chance in hell of ever being seated again?
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
