In 2020 19% of black men and 10% of black women voted for President Trump. That was a significant increase from the 8% he received in 2016 which was the highest since the 1950s when virtually every African American voter was a registered Republican.* Democrats have good reason to fear that even more blacks will escape the Democrat poverty plantation in 2024.
Kamala Harris openly promoted reparations during her first run for president. This election year, she is hiding this racist plan. She knows taking money from certain Americans and giving it to other Americans based solely upon what happened to the recipients’ ancestors is very unpopular with the majority of Americans. It is popular with her racist base and those who believe they will receive hundreds of thousands of dollar in undeserved taxpayer money.
2019: HARRIS PANDERED TO BLACK VOTERS
“I think there has to be some form of reparations, and we can discuss what that is,” Harris told Root in February 2019. She promised the Chief Race Grifter Al Sharpton that, as president, she would sign into law a bill establishing a reparations study commission. As senator, she was the co-sponsor of such a bill. She left no doubt that she supported some sort of reparations to “correct course” for black people.
“Look — we’re looking at more than 200 years of slavery,” Harris told Root. Failing to mention that only Democrats in Southern states enacted Jim Crow laws, she went on to say: “We’re looking at almost 100 years of Jim Crow. We’re looking at legalized segregation and, in fact, segregation on so many levels that exist today based on race. And there has not been any kind of intervention, understanding the harm and the damage that occurred, to correct course.”
When the host asked, “As president, you would be willing to lead a conversation on what reparations for black people would be like?” Harris answered, “Yes, including things like what we should be doing to take very seriously undiagnosed and untreated trauma. Take that very seriously. And what kind of resources are we going to put in that — what kind of resources are we going to put in communities to help folks heal and be on an equal footing.”
UNDIAGNOSED TRAUMA?
What in the world is this race grifter and panderer talking about? She pretends that people living today are traumatized by things that happened 100, 200, 300 years ago? She can’t be that stupid but, like Hillary Clinton, she thinks Democrat voters are.
Only Democrats owned slaves before Republicans fought a war to stop slavery. Perhaps Democrats should pay Republicans reparations for the evil of slavery from which they profited.
REPARATIONS WILL REQUIRE EACH PERSON WHO WANTS $$$ TO SUBMIT TO A DNA TEST
To implement a reparations program, the federal government cannot take the applicant’s word that he/she is descended from slaves. DNA tests will be mandatory. If not, there will be a whole lot of “cultural appropriation,” which have been increasingly seen in colleges these last two decades.^ And Democrats just hate “cultural appropriation,” or so they claim.
DNA tests tell a lot about a person’s genetic background, even the region where one’s long ago ancestors resided. Black slaves came almost exclusively from Western Africa where one (black) tribe would round of people from another (black) tribe and sell them into slavery. The USA outlawed the slave trade in 1807, preventing any additional slaves from being shipped here.
ONLY 388,000 SLAVES WERE SHIPPED TO NORTH AMERICA
Black slave traders would hold their hapless victims until slave ships arrived offshore. Some slaves were destined for North America, and some were shipped to South America. Records show that only 388,000 slaves arrived in North America, or about 3.6% of the total slave trade between 1619 and 1807. Millions went to South America and the Caribbean Islands.
The slaves who arrived in what would later become the United State of America were the “lucky ones” because they would live long enough to reproduce, and even grow old. Thus, many slave descendants currently reside in the USA. The slaves who wound up in the mines in South America had an average life expectancy of five years. Moreover, only men were purchased so reproduction by slaves was rare.
THE “BLACKER” YOU ARE, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL GET
The descendants of slave owners will not be punished, but all American taxpayers surely will be. There is virtually no “black” person who descended from slaves living in America today who has 100% negro blood. They have other blood: “white,” Native American, Asian, etc. A “black” American who can prove 1/8th slave blood will be jealous of the ones who have 1/4th slave blood because he/she will receive half as much money. And so it goes.
During her 11-month presidential race in 2019, Kamala Harris demanded reparations from federal taxpayers. Will Kamala get any money? After all, her father is not more than one-half “black.” Should she receive 25% of the amount that a 100% “black” person would get? Nope! Her father immigrated to the USA 100+ years after the first GOP president, Abraham Lincoln, outlawed slavery. Perhaps Kackling Kammie should pay reparations because her father descended from Jamaican slave owners.
DIANE DEMANDS REPARATIONS
White Americans who can prove they had an ancestor who fought for the Union, should not be required to subsidize this racist thievery. Indeed, we are entitled to tax cuts or reparations ourselves.
As cruel, immoral & disgusting as slavery was, the white Americans alive during the Civil War, corrected this wrong. Indeed, 99% of Union soldiers were white. Shouldn’t their descendants get reparations, too? The descendants’ list would be a relatively short one because many, many young Union soldiers died on the battlefield before they could reproduce.
At the very least, white Americans, like this writer, who can prove they had an ancestor who fought for the Union, should either receive reparations or a significant tax cut. My paternal grandmother’s maternal grandfather was wounded in the Battle of Stones River (12/31/1862 to 1/2/1863) near Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I DEMAND REPARATIONS OR A HUGE TAX CUT!
This is a big reason why I support the Republican Party. Communist Harris and the democrats only use reparations and race as a spring board to win black votes, it is only used a game for people, who really need their issues addressed. They have no intentions of really helping out black people by fixing the communities, the school system, addressesing crime, and etc. The history of the Democratic party was laid out well in this article. Great job as always Diane.
I want reparations for my documented family who fought for the Union during the Civil War. BLM disrespects their legacy and that hurts my feelings. BLM and the Democrats owe me money. Plus I have documented family lineage from the Revolution through the Korean War. I deserve extra reparations for that. I never served and I never fought in a war but that doesn't matter. I'm a victim and I deserve money.
See how stupid that sounds?
