Is This An Example Of How Your Mind
Translates And Interprets Facts ??

If you don't think they mean payments

If they didn't say payments...then they ain't talking about.....wait for it....PAYMENTS

WITHOUT payments how does one INVEST in black businesses?

Tax cuts/ low interest loans etc. that benefit EVERYONE

For everyone? She is singling out black Americans who were, in her opinion, hurt by slavery. You need stop ignoring the racism implicit in Harris' remarks.

It was the host's suggestion and Kamala agreed, and doubled down on it with the NY Times.

She didn't"double down on it and she NEVER mentioned reparation PAYMENTS

STOP playing the race card. It's obvious you want to rile up the racists...again...being kind...

You can make reparations in ways other than direct payments.

That would go to ANYONE.

What they are NOT...are checks written to black folks as reparations.

And again. This is not a policy that Harris has proposed...or is promoting. She answered a general question in a general way.

YOU folks want to make this some huge racial issue.

Why would that be?

Would the Obamas receive reparations? How about Michael Jordan?

OK. What would they be? Would they only benefit black folks?

Has Harris supported them?

Every election cycle we have some democrats trotting out the "free money" promise to supporters via "reparations". Any type of "reparations" have zero chance of becoming Law. The 2020 elections cycle is heating up and Kamala and Warren both support reparations.

She is talking about investing in the black community. She said that explicitly. If it is done because the black community has been wronged then that would be a reparation.

A quote from post #127.

“I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities.”

Last week, on the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club,” Senator Kamala Harris of California agreed with a host’s suggestion that government reparations for black Americans were necessary to address the legacies of slavery and discrimination. Ms. Harris later affirmed that support in a statement to The New York Times.

“We have to be honest that people in this country do not start from the same place or have access to the same opportunities,” she said. “I’m serious about taking an approach that would change policies and structures and make real investments in black communities.”

I believe Blacks today do suffer from the lingering effects of slavery and Jim Crow. The are the only group that was stripped of their language, culture, and family structure in America. I have no problem with giving those that need it, a helping hand. If reparations means cash, I'm against it. If it means ensuring schools in poor neighborhoods have the resources to provide a good education, count me in. If it means some level of health care for every citizen, count me in. If it means providing jobs for those that struggle to find and keep jobs, count me in.

That has been happening. The rules have been changed to accomadate the complaints.

Not based on skin color...but rather economics.

WHat she did NOT say was that it would be exclusive to black communities
