Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) said Americans were ready for the “descendants of slavery” to receive reparations because of President Donald Trump’s “attitude.”
Lee said, “The commission would study reparation proposals. We would not dictate to the commission its design but, clearly, it would be designed for those descendants of slavery. Tragically, 250 years of slavery in the United States for those enslaved Africans did not receive workman’s comp, salary, 401(k), or anything, and literally built the wealth of the United States and Europe. That’s why it was called the trans-Atlantic slave trade, taking enslaved Africans from Africa, frankly, from many parts of Africa. This commission would have the authority appointed by the President, the Majority Leader, the Speaker, and scholars, to really dig deep, something that we have never done before and to design the response.”

Factually untrue. She should be removed from office and placed in jail for abuse of power.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not.
ReplyDeleteThere were 401k's 250 years ago?
ReplyDeleteJackson-Lee is a nut case. Don't pay any attention.
ReplyDeleteWhy do these people even open their mouths?
ReplyDeleteAgree that Jackson-Lee is just plain stupid. She and her ilk mock her ethnicity trying to blame one individual who had absolutely nothing to do with slavery all those years ago and to keep harping on reparations only serves to negate any incentive for people of color to be productive.
ReplyDeleteNever happen!! Just another typical politician with no substance or intelligence to come up with a genuine proposal
