Former NFL player Burgess Owens suggested the Democratic Party should pay reparations to black Americans in congressional testimony Wednesday, because of the “misery” that party has brought to his race.
“I used to be a Democrat until I did my history and found out the misery that that party brought to my race,” Owens, now an author and Fox News contributor said, before going into an in depth review of some of those miseries, for him personally as a descendant of slaves and for black Americans over decades.
“I do not believe in reparations,” he added. “Because what reparations does is, it points to a certain race, a certain color, and points them as evil and points the other race, my race, as one that is not only becomes racist, but also beggars.”
“I do believe in restitution,” he continued. “Let’s point to the party that was part of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, that has killed over 40% of our black babies, 20 million of them.”

I just Googled: "How many ancestors of black slaves are in U.S.?"
Try it yourself.
Restitution is a Democrat theme that only appears during election cycles in which Democrats want total power (or partial, if they're losing), which means every major election cycle.
They've used this one for over 50 years. and even when they effectively control the government, they don't deliver, yet still use it as the foul vote bait that it is. Does this say something to you?
Reperations have already been given out it's called WELFARE X 50 YRS.
I also believe in restitution for anyone who is still alive and can prove they were a slave in the 1860's or even earlier. Otherwise, stick a sock in it.
Blacks in the SOUTH owned more slaves than the whites so track down there ancestors and BILL THEM ?
The Dems don't like it when their plantation people actually read things like accurate history.
Make it a voluntary (maybe GoFundMe) contribution and let's see how that goes. My guess: $756.807.
Blame the current KKK > Pelosi /Schumer/ Schiff / Nadler
Cummings / & the rest of the DEMON-CRATS !!!!!
It's a shame that most Black Americans don't know the history behind the Democratic Party. If they did they would not be Democrats. There were thousands of Black slaver owners in the South but you will not hear any of our local black leaders acknowledge this. Perhaps the NAACP would like to address this point.
The Democrats told us we couldn't hold the children accountable for the crimes of their parents when it deals with illegals. Now they want to change the rules.
