Harris Silent on Democrats Paying Reparations
There is a long history of Democrat Party support for slavery.

Kamala Harris is interviewed by Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC (MSNBC/YouTube)

Curious. Curious indeed.

The headline in the Washington Times was this:

Reparations advocates find hope in Harris despite silence ahead of election

The story reports:

Vice President Harris, who is open to convening a federal commission to examine reparations for Black Americans, will face pressure from advocates to take concrete steps to advance the cause nationally if she wins the White House.

Ms. Harris has signaled explicit support in recent years for providing reparations for Black Americans to compensate for slavery and discrimination. She signed on to a Senate bill in 2019 that would have created a federal commission to study the matter, and she called for “some form of reparations” when she ran unsuccessfully for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

She also made a public promise in 2019 to support reparations legislation if elected president, telling Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, “When I am elected president, I will sign that bill.”

Notice anything? Anything as historically obvious as, say, the Civil War?

That would be this.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If there are reparations to the descendants of slaves, there should also be reparations to the descendants of slave-holders.

Freeing the slaves was a Government seizure of inter-generational property and wealth.

Slaves were harmed by slavery, which was legal until the Civil War.

Slave-holders were harmed when slaves were freed without compensation by the Government for their economic loss.
