Dems Declare ‘Unconditional War on Racism' in Bill Establishing a $70bn Federal, ‘Reconciliation' Agency.
Exactly the kind of thing they pass in the House to thrill the rubes, knowing it won’t go anywhere in the Senate.
[NationalPulse] "Declaring unconditional war on racism and invidious discrimination and providing for the establishment of a Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation charged with eliminating racism and invidious discrimination," reads a summary of the bill, which was introduced on February 9th.

Over 30 House Democrats have signed onto the bill, with key co-sponsors including Congressman Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, Rashida Tlaib, and January 6th Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson. The bill has now been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

The document makes several claims that the U.S. continues to uphold institutionalized racism before outlining potential remedies:

"Whereas racism and invidious discrimination—like poverty in 1964—remain pervasive in our country; Whereas history is replete with examples of victims of racism and invidious discrimination being denied life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; Whereas systemic and institutionalized racism and invidious discrimination exist in virtually all areas of American life, including policing, criminal justice, housing, banking, voting, employment, education, the environment, and health care..."

#1 Why should America pay for the action of the party of slavery, segregation, and the Klan? Make it a tax on every registered Democrat.

#2 Paying people who are blaming their personal problems on stuff that never happened to them will not work. Won't stop the dems, coms and race hustlers from pushing it.

#6 Dems seem to have contracted a virulent form of Left-Wing Tourette's:
Kamala denigrates America for 'segregation, xenophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia' in tweet to Iranians

#7 We should hate anyone who wishes us ill. Their skin color or adherence to a hateful creed should be no insulation from a hard death on the public square.

#8 The sins of the father shall be laid on the heads of the children.

The sins of others' fathers shall be laid on the heads of our children.

The good deeds of you and your ancestors shall be counted as sins of "violence," "aggression," "fragility," and other turpitude to be named later.

In the absence of the foregoing, the Original Sin of Whiteness shall have sovereign sway.

Thou shalt give unto me all thy money. Forthwith.

#9 The luckiest beggars on earth,
Your countrymen only by birth,
May never recover
Albeit they suffer
Of gratitude, only, a dearth.

Talking only, of course, of such folks as the shoe fits, regardless of hue.

#11 So if this is ever passed the next day the Democratic Party should be shutdown, and their leadershit thrown in jail as a racist organisation citing several major items:

Writing of the Jim Crow laws,
Filibustering the Ciil Rights Act
Sponsoring the Klu Klux Klan
etc...
