Democratic vice-presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif) used the shooting of Jacob Blake by a Kenosha police officer while he was resisting arrest to bolster her charge that "black lives have never been treated as fully human in America. It is yet another instance of an innocent black man being victimized by police brutality and another reason why voters need to elect Joe Biden and me to bring an end to this sorry history."
President Trump lost no time in challenging Harris' notion that blacks would be better off under a Biden Administration. "In the last three years, my Administration has done more for black Americans than Biden has done in his more than four decades in politics," he said. "We've enacted criminal justice reform, prison reform, opportunity zones, the long-term funding of historically black colleges and universities, and produced the lowest unemployment numbers for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans ever recorded. I have done more for the African American community than any president since Abraham Lincoln."
Harris rebutted Trump's claims by pointing out that "it was President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society program the led to $20 trillion in federal money for the welfare and public housing that now are a defining feature of black life in this country. This free money far outshines what Trump has done. Trumps initiatives require the beneficiaries to work—work to establish a small business, work to earn a higher wage, work to get a college degree. We urge black voters to not fall into Trump's trap. It's just a modern form of slavery. Blacks did enough work during the 250 years of slavery in this country. It's time for all of us to be repaid with the reparations we deserve. The Democratic Party and President Joe Biden will ensure that this debt is paid and that no black person will ever have to work again."

Uh, no.
It’s DEMOCRATS that are not treated as human.
Because......well, you know.
Her and moochie having a “shoulder chip” contest? Hey, to both of them, phu cough.
Those who BEHAVE as fully human are treated as such. Those who eschew Rev. King’s Content of Character admonition, not so much.

Actually, Harris is right....
The Democrats had them as slaves...
The Democrats hated losing them as slaves...
The Democrats made laws to harm them...
The Democrats hated when those laws were all overturned...
The Democrats hated them so much they formed the KKK...
The Democrats hated that the NRA was formed to help them stand against the KKK...
The Democrats then sought to buy them for votes...
The Democrats then kept them on the new plantation...
So yeah, I can see the point she is making....Oh...shes not saying its Democrats who factually did all that? Weird man!
She likes her willies brown.
