Democrat congresswoman calls slave reparations a 'bold effort that people want to not do'

The poor darling really ought to practice breathing in and out. Anything more complex requires processing power that wasn’t designed in, and can’t be added afterward.

[JUSTTHENEWS] Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee

...the clownish U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She is noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...
called on Democrats to mobilize together and advocate for passage of a bill to form a commission on slave reparations, calling it a "bold effort that people want to not do."

"You must as a community ensure that the Congress moves on H.R. 40 and that is call your members of Congress to ensure they are co-sponsors," she said on Friday during a virtual town hall on "Systemic Racism Beyond Policing."

"We're the provocative legislation that people want to think twice about being on because it clearly says that something must be done about the governmental action that was done to enslave Africans and then the descendants of enslaved Africans," she added.

The Texas Democrat referred to her bill, Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, as "the mother of this movement of trying to get us where we need to be."

#2 Reparations Plus have been paid out since the implementation of the Great Society programs. The problem with Danegeld is that the Dane never goes away.

#4 I believe that reparations should be payed to all those who were slaves prior to 1865. Note that does not include descendants.

#8 nothing could more utterly divide this nation into civil war than the idea of reparations actually being paid. The entropy of Western Civilization is accelerating before our eyes as ignorant people give it away to the forces of darkness, literally and figuratively it seems.
