Victor Davis Hanson on Reparations: Democrats ‘Afraid Trump Is Making Inroads’ with Blacks

Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and professor of Classics Emeritus at California State University, spoke with Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Tonight and described Democrats’ push for “reparations” as a racial political strategy born from fear that President Trump is “making inroads” with black voters.

Reparations poll “about 25 percent support,” said Hanson. “It doesn’t even poll a majority of support among African Americans, so it’s not so much a serious issue as a campaign issue. It’s sort of like the Green New Deal or the 90 percent income tax or the wealth tax.”

Hanson continued, “These are all talking points, but I think the people who are serious in the Democratic Party must know that if any candidate emerges from their convention with those albatrosses around their neck, they’re going to lose. Everybody knows it’s unworkable. The contradictions just jump out at you.”

Hanson examined the arbitrary nature of defining parameters for who qualifies as “African American.”

Victor Hanson is a very astute individual with a total grasp of current affairs and history; he is on FOX often. Many black people are also on FOX and I am beginning to see the light bulbs coming on. Blacks have been stereotyped for so long they are not give the credit due. Baring the truth is what is needed to expose the liberal left for lying and deceit that is shameful.

Democrats are trying to win over more of the black votes with that tired mantra of "free money." It worked for Obama and the Democrats for 8 years and those dumba$$es still didn't get their free money, free gas, free rent. They just don't get it. Always wanting something free and banking on lies.
