TWO BLACK FIGURES TELL IT LIKE IT IS ABOUT REPARATIONS. COMMON SENSE UNITY OVER REPARATIONS DIVISION OF THE COUNTRY. I don't expect any backdown from the Democrats over this issue that is so extreme it doesn't make sense as pointed out by these two individuals. In my opinion. This piece is worth the read.
[Elder] “Black people have overcome to the point now that only 20 percent of black people are below the federally defined level of poverty—still too high—but in 1940 that number was 87 percent, and 20 years later that number had been reduced to 47 percent—a 40 point drop in 20 years. That is the greatest 20-year period of economic expansion for the history of black Americans,” Elder said. “And notably, that came before the Brown v Board of Education decision, that came before the Civil Rights bills of 1964, 1965. Despite all this racism, all this prejudice, black people still overcame.”
“Obama as a black person had a smaller barrier than these three white politicians,” the radio host pointed out. “So having this conversations right now when racism has never been a less significant problem in America is mind boggling.”
He also referenced a 1964 interview Martin Luther King Jr. did with the BBC in which he said he believed a black person could become president in about 40 years or less, which is roughly within the period of time Obama became president.
“When a black person becomes president that’s when we’ll know we’ve reached a point where people are being evaluated based on the content of their character to the extent that it is reasonable to expect,” he said, paraphrasing MLK Jr.
He closed by bringing up his father and the advice he gave Elder growing up:
“Hard work wins, you get out of life what you put into it, you cannot control the outcome but you are 100 percent in control of the effort, and before you complain, go to the nearest mirror and say to yourself ‘what could I have done to change the outcome?’”
His father also warned him about how the Democratic Party was always trying to give people “something for nothing,” but when that happens, “you almost always end up getting nothing for something.”
[Walker] While Jackson Lee argued H.R. 40 would put the country “on the path to reparative justice,” Walker said he viewed the issue from a biblical perspective.
“We use black power to create white guilt. My approach is biblical: how can I ask my Heavenly Father to forgive me if I can’t forgive my brother?” asked the Heisman “America is the greatest country in the world for me, a melting pot of a lot of great races, a lot of great minds that have come together with different ideas to make Americans the greatest country on Earth. Many have died trying to get into America. No one is dying trying to get out,” he continued.
“Reparations, where does the money come from? Does it come from all the other races except the black taxpayers? Who is black? What percentage of black must you be to receive reparations? Do you go to 23andMe or a DNA test to determine the percentage of blackness? Some American ancestors just came to this country 80 years ago, their ancestors wasn’t even here during slavery. Some black immigrants weren’t here during slavery, nor their ancestors. Some states didn’t even have slavery.”
He also said he asked his mother, who’s in her mid-80s, her thoughts on the issue prior to the hearing.
“Her words: I do not believe in reparations. Who is the money gonna go to? Has anyone thought about paying the families who lost someone in the Civil War, who fought for their freedom?” Walker said, adding that she compared it to giving a man a fish vs. teaching him how to fish.
“Reparation is only feeding you for a day. It is removing a sign ‘for whites only’ and replacing it with the sign ‘no education here,’” he said.

THE BIG LIE FROM THE LEFT IS IN FULL BS MODE WITH LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES. So, let's hope Manchin and Sinema both hold firm and I would like to see a few others jump ship if this vote is forced to out all the moderate Democrats. That would leave nothing but Socialists and Marxists voting for a takeover of our Democracy. Democrats know they can't win without cheating—all in my opinion.
"With Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona refusing to eliminate the filibuster and pass a pair of election reform bills, Democratic politicians are claiming that Republicans will prevent fair midterm elections in November.
President Joe Biden cast opponents of the bills as the heirs of segregationists, and laws requiring voter ID and banning line-warming as “Jim Crow 2.0.” ...”
TWO PEAS IN A POD - GOV GRETCHEN FROM MICHIGAN AND FORMER GOV. CUOMO FROM NEW YORK, BOTH OF WHOM WERE DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ELDERLY DEATHS THAT DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. So, this is a picture of the progressives that kill by policies then get free of any charges. Will Gov. Gretchen avoid any crimes as well as Gov. Cuomo? We'll see—all in my opinion.
"At the start of the pandemic, Whitmer, a Democrat, issued an emergency executive order to place infected senior citizens in extended care facilities that had the ability to isolate them in a designated wing. As the infection spread, many residents and care workers died.
The audit found that 8,061 elderly Michiganders died of the disease in the state’s nursing homes ..."
DR. FAUCI IS JUST LIKE PELOSI GETTING RICH OFF OF INSIDER INFORMATION. So, Congress should not be able to trade because of the power they have to be corrupted by riches. How do you think Pelosi and Fauci became rich? Insider information. But Fauci is playing with fire that could kill so many as Covid has and for him to set policy is wrong. All in my opinion.
"Dr. Anthony Fauci invested in the Chinese regime’s corporate “national champions,” large Chinese companies that advance Beijing’s interests and benefit from state policies, in a 2020 investment portfolio, according to recently disclosed financial records."
