Keyes promoted reparations.

Do you know what type of reparations Keyes suggested? Keep in mind, this was only a response to a question about reparations...not a promotion of such. His suggestion was a tax credit for two years for only those blacks that actually worked and filed with the IRS. Nothing else...period.

I am fully aware of this, and it was racist reparations in my view. Sorry, no pass or quarter given.

You’re kidding, right? Under what justification should I, whose ancestors never owned slaves, should I subsidize people who have grown up in this Nation because of some of their ancestors were slaves?

One of my grandmothers was an indentured servant according to family history. What do I get?
