Kamala Harris on Reparations: ‘Writing a Check’ Not ‘Gonna Be Enough’

OK, then - please let us know what "would be enough".

Just like the answer to "the rich need to pay their fair share" should always be "Please define what would amount to their fair share", the correct answer to "gibsmedat reparations" is "what would be necessary to mark the account 'paid in full'?".

If we are going to talk about these things, it would be good to know what we were talking about.

“This sidesteps the issue. How easy is it, for anyone to say, yes, let’s study an issue. She’s in favor of studying this matter, without committing to any specific course of action.”

Matter has already been studied and a solution provided. It’s called Affirmative Action. Maybe someone can educate Ms. Harris on this and how it destroyed generations of black families.

It’s NEVER going to be enough. The white man must pay pay pay! Pay by giving up our wealth, our property, our rights, and then by going into involuntary servitude. Then, it will still not be enough. All because we were born with a skin color that isn’t PC. Even though all of us didn’t own slaves, and a lot of us had ancestors that weren’t even in America yet.

The communist democrat party is the natural home for UNAPPEASABLEs of every stripe. While Pres Trump is addressing the real problems and concerns of the American people, the commie democrat party leaders continue to waste their tax funded existence on political stunts. Exactly what have the democrats done of a constructive nature to justify their govt employment? Destroy our legally elected Pres by any means available and install a Deep State, Globalist govt administration? No border, No country. What will the UNAPPEASABLES do then? Stop squawking or die is my guess.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) believes that “writing a check” to the descendants of slaves is not “going to be enough” when it comes to reparations.

And we can never expect the MSM to ask these questions.

She and her ilk want to eliminate White People. All she really needs to do is wait just a couple of more years, and we will effectively be gone. Once we have lost all of our political power, we will be exterminated, just as Whites are being exterminated in Africa. For better or worse, I’m seeing things I think far more clearly now than ever before, and the rhetoric from the leftists definitely has my attention. They mean business; they’re NOT Americans any longer. Used to be that we all generally loved our country, but had differences on policy. Not the case now. When someone says they want us gone or dead, we’d best believe them and respond accordingly.

If nothing will make them happy, then nothing is what we should do.

Guess she means executions.


Too bad she wasn’t as tough on the Death Row inmates of California as the State AG or a District Attorney.

She’s a ‘kingpin’ of stupidity and hypocrisy.. the perfect Dem choice.

No, she’s probably expecting 10 lashes each for all the white people.

She wants “400 years” of slavery for whites. Notice how she keeps harping on home ownership? You won’t be allowed to own your home, some black family will own it while you live in the ghetto. The reparations movement is not about justice, or righting a wrong. It’s about revenge. Until we fight back.

“We need to address how we’re going to do it… because back to the point I was making about home ownership…back to the point I was making about disparities around education… you can look at health outcomes when you know that black women are three to four times more likely to die in connection with child birth,” Harris said. “So there’s a lot that has to be about looking at this in a way that is about structural and systemic investment in communities.”

Kamala, start talking about personal responsibility, getting an education, getting a job, not having children when you are 14, staying away from drugs, buying a house you can afford, the notion of planning for the future and other things that are currently described as acting white.

We’re 5-6 generations past US slavery. There is a very small percentage of 100% pure black African slave descendants in America. She knows check won’t work because they’d be writing checks to themselves.

What else? Have Oprah ask the 100% pure white decedents of slave owners in her audience to stand up and apologize to those very few 100% pure black African slave descendants? Hey, she did that back in the 80s. It was on her show where she had on the “passing” Sally Hemings and Jefferson’s (Thomas or his brother or his nephew or maybe it was some random dude) decedents but don’t try finding it on youtube because those few minutes have been deleted.

Not one word about the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War that freed our slaves. Yes, “our” slaves, because it is a part of our U.S. history, which defines us. When the freed slaves are ready to pay back the families of those soldiers we can talk reparations then.

We are / were a species expected to morally grow past our biases and worldly distinctions. Identity politics prevents us from doing that.
