In 2019, Kamala Harris appeared at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention. The hate group which has been linked to harassment and violence against Jews and Asians, as well as the Freddy’s massacre that claimed the lives of 5 Latino women and others on the scene, had long since become a regular stop for aspiring presidential candidates including Kamala.
There were no mentions of the slain after Morris Powell, the head of the Buy Black Committee at Sharpton’s National Action Network, warned, “We are not going to stand idly by and let a Jewish person come into black Harlem” before the Freddy’s massacre. Or a previous incident when Powell had allegedly fractured the skull of the wife of a Korean store owner.
Instead, Kamala Harris delivered a well-received speech at the end of which Sharpton came up and asked her a question. “I know you’ve already taken the appropriate position, but in the area of reparations for the descendants of Africans who have been enslaved, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has proposed a bill to form a commission to study how to do reparations. If you are elected president, would you sign that bill if it came across your desk?”
“When I am elected president, I will sign that bill,” Kamala replied to thunderous applause and black power fist salutes.
The bill, H.R.40, blamed high crime rates and unemployment on slavery and discrimination, and set out to “establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery” and determine how “any form of compensation to the descendants of enslaved African is calculated.”
The commission would examine, among other things, the “lingering negative effects of slavery on living African Americans and society.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee had famously referred to herself as a “freed slave.”
Many of Kamala’s political allies in California had championed racial reparations.
Rev. Amos Brown, Kamala’s radical pastor who claimed that the country was racist and that “America has not changed” since the days of segregation, had served on both the San Francisco and California reparations commissions, had claimed that a proposed payout of “five million is not that much” and denounced reparations opponents as the “personification of evil,”
Kamala had described Rev. Brown as “a source of inspiration” throughout her political career.
But Kamala’s proposed form of racial reparations was more about DEI than cash payouts.
Kamala’s bill, S.4248 – COVID–19 Bias and Anti-Racism Training Act of 2020, tried to mandate “anti-racism training” for medical professionals who she falsely claimed were discriminating against black patients. DEI indoctrination of this kind has been linked to promoting worse outcomes for patients and convincing medical personnel to violate the Hippocratic Oath.
In an NPR interview during her original presidential campaign, Kamala made the bizarre claim that black people were still suffering from medical problems due to slavery.
“You can look at the issue of untreated and undiagnosed trauma. African-Americans have higher rates of heart disease and high blood pressure. It is environmental. It is centuries of slavery, which was a form of violence,” Kamala Harris falsely claimed.
Slavery was abolished over 150 years ago. No one today has been enslaved in America. Heart disease is not caused by slavery. Higher heart disease and blood pressure rates among black people are a result of diet and lifestyle. As the HHS Office of Minority Health notes, “African American women have the highest rates of obesity or being overweight compared to other groups in the United States. About 4 out of 5 African American women are overweight or obese.” This is not a slavery problem: it’s a diet, lifestyle and culture problem.
Polynesians, who were never slaves, have some of the highest obesity rates in the world.
Kamala however wrongly insisted that “there was never any real intervention to break up what had been generations of people experiencing the highest forms of trauma. And trauma, undiagnosed and untreated, leads to physiological outcomes.” Then she argued that reparations would put “extra resources – into those communities that have experienced that trauma” and would be used “to study the effects of generations of discrimination and institutional racism.”
Trauma is not generational. And it certainly has no generational outcomes on people who did not directly experience it. My father losing his family to the Nazis and their Polish collaborators during the Holocaust has no medical impact on me. Black people are not suffering heart attacks because of their distant ancestors. That’s a dangerous form of pseudoscience which denies personal responsibility and encourages people to persist in unhealthy lifestyles.
But the Harris family has a history of trying to weaponize its medical problems.
During the pandemic, Maya Harris, Kamala’s sister, wrote an article blaming her lupus problem on racism, and complaining that Trump was promoting hydroxychloroquine which she uses to treat it. Maya Harris dominated Kamala’s original presidential campaign bid and it’s likely that her ideas strongly influence Kamala’s false claims about slavery causing black medical issues.
Peddling bad science however was part of Kamala’s pitch for a larger equity agenda.
“Centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, legal discrimination and segregation, and discrimination that exists today have led to a systemic wealth gap between black and white Americans that demands attention,” Kamala Harris had originally told the New York Times. “People in this country do not start from the same place or have access to the same opportunities.”
While some activists continue to push massive payouts to black people, politicians like Kamala have made the argument for more welfare and special privileges as racial reparations.
In Kamala’s case, the reasons for this might be all too obvious.
Kamala Harris is descended from both slave owners and slaves. There is as good of a reason for her to pay reparations as there is for her to receive them. Talking about heart disease rates and investments in the black community avoids the debate about whether Kamala, a millionaire who is part Indian, part black, part Irish, married to a white lawyer, should be getting a check.
BRIBE$4VOTES PROGRAM.. “FREE FREE FREE BUT YOU MUST VOTE FOR ME ME ME!”
It’s called a “self-feeding extortion loop”. Pay up, or we’ll commence with the online opponent cancellations and screams of “racism”, and if that doesn’t work, threaten to burn down the city.
Have you seen that list of those corporations and guilt-ridden eilites who paid out BILLIONS to BLM?
Why do Marxists do such things? Because they’re Marxists.
“DEMOCRATS are addicting everyone to FREEBIES, as addictive as Heroin, so when we all become JUNKIES, we have to Vote for Them in order to GET OUR FIX!” sc
Remember when Nancy Pelosi, the Wicked Bitch of the West, talked GWBush into handing out a STIMULUS CHECK/FREEBIE? Our NM Governor Bill Richardson added to it… just in time for the 2008 election. “Democrats care for us, Republicans don’t!” In the spring of 2022, I got a $500 check from our current Comunista Pendeja Governor. Our State Fair Parade is this weekend, and instead of throwing candy out for the kids, she’s going to be throwing Mail-In ballots already filled out with a crisp $100 Bribe$4Votes.
DO NOT MAIL IN YOUR BALLOT!!!! The mailman sees the campaign literature you are getting and WILL steal your ballot, fill out a new one with your info, his/her votes and your copied signature! To them… they are doing their Patriotic Duty to “save Democracy.” No morals or ethics and THEY DON’T CARE!
Reparations ……..Now!
One way tickets to Africa!
Losing 13% of the population will cut the US crime rate in half easily!
As a viewer of The First 48 tv show, notice that a majority of the criminals are Blacks with pages of rap sheets, violent crimes, drugs, and then only serving half the time.
One of my screenplays: “BOOKS NOT BASKETBALLS.” Too many of our youth want to be that sports star, the riches, the fame, but a very, very small percentage make it while a majority spent all their school years being in sports and not focusing on their education. Scouts are looking for The One then that person can’t pass the College Entrance Exam and many times, can’t even read correctly… so now what! They’re used to being pampered, noticed, and they didn’t make it, so they resort to crime and drugs to get those riches, especially seeing the THUGS on Cribs and sports stars parading with gold necklaces and fancy cars. They want that and do what they need to do to get it… then get caught and now in prison with the Al Sharpton’s screaming that the Justice System is targeting Blacks!
Many Blacks are finally opening their eyes to the Democrats who keep them in a perpetual cycle of poverty and government dependence! Now the next game: “Vote for the First Female Black President and if you don’t, you’re a traitor to your race!” (I was told that by a campaign worder when our current Hispanic Governor was running. I told her I was voting for the White Republican: “You’re a TRAITOR to your Race!”
And so many young black guys, particularly in Chicago, suffer from sever lead poisoning. Cough.
Just not enough of them…yet…
I still think the biggest problem for innercity black America has been the welfare check. Raising three generations of black kids on government checks left them with an unrealistic sense of entitlement and no need to cultivate their own talents and skills. Slavery reparations will not fix this, it will only make it worse. But it will buy votes.
The problems are related but I would vote the absence of loving fathers as an even bigger problem.
Add the illegals and we might even have cake fridges and honesty boxes. High trust society is like heaven on earth.
Since it was Demo-Rats who owned all those Slaves and founded the KKK then it should be the Demo-Rats who should pay not the American People and the Rioters Looters and Arsonists owe to all those stores that were Looted by the Thieves
Looking into an online grave registry, I located a great grandfather who was shot and killed by a Confederate sniper in 1864 fighting in Northern Georgia, and his death was chronicled by a Union officer who wrote the after-action report.
So… can our family get a big pay-out too…. even though we’re “people of no color”?
Within a year it will have been wasted on drugs anyway so don’t worry.
Wasted, no.. they’ll get the money, buy drugs, and triple the amount, and then get arrested, imprisoned, and then they’ll blame the corrupt Justice System that is targeting Blacks.
Time to become a drug dealer… lol
Why do you rob banks? It’s where the money is. Why do humans like drugs? It’s where the pain relief is. Sorta like alcohol. Near-instant pain relief, and of course, social lubricant. Drugs and alcohol… making ugly chicks look beautiful since the beginning of time.
They like drugs because they’re weak.
The Cadillac dealerships will also do well!
Cadillac had better ramp up production of its Escalade.
Thanks Mo, that’s the thing, 5 mil doesn’t go very far. Look at all the broke football players who had multi mil contracts.
The higher rate of heart disease in blacks couldn’t have anything to do with their diet and lifestyle, could it? Nahh! That would be racist to even consider.
Back in the 1960’s, every kitchen in America used giant tubs of Crisco for all their frying needs.
Hydrogenated oils were designed to have an unlimited shelf life… but they forgot to tell the public it also clogged up your arteries too.
Any excuse is better than looking into a mirror.
As a nation, as a people, we should think long and hard about the potential consequences of such a plan, good and bad. For example, would it set a precedence for any group for any reason to claim reparations? What about the descendants of Union Army soldiers who risked their lives fighting to set people free? Should they be officially thanked and then be compensated? What effect would reparations have on jurisprudence? Arguably, what it would mean is that hence forth people who had nothing whatsoever to do with a past injustice would be rewarded or penalized for something others did and/or experienced long before they were born. What unintended consequences would that potentially unleash? Finally, how do the ideas of personal responsibility and forgiveness fit in? “With malice toward none…” –Abraham Lincoln
Since when did any government in the last 150 years consider the possibility of negative consequences?
The ones that were overthrown, methinks…
I was just looking up Prime Minister Asquith earlier today, who made the decision to involve Britain in WW1, probably the worst decision in British history.
My ancestors were also Union Army soldiers, and no– Union Army descendants (including me) should not be compensated for their ancestors’ military service because the soldiers themselves were already compensated by being paid salaries for their service. Slaves didn’t get paid for services rendered. This whole comparison is just an idiotic false equivalency, and I encourage you to think a lot harder before you make another analogy like this.
The DEMOcrats have been “reparating” since before they GAVE UP THEIR SLAVES! It was a BLACK man who SUED and WON the RIGHT to OWN SLAVES! The Kamala’s FAMILY OWNED SLAVES! If ANYONE is due a payment – which they are NOT – it would be the ACTUAL SLAVES and their IMMEDIATE FAMILIES! There are RECORDS available that should be utilized to find the ACTUAL VICTIMS of slavery. BUT, I doubt ANY of them are still living. THEN, the RECORDS should be used to ESTABLISH WHO OWNED SLAVES and HOW they BENEFITTED! If it’s shown that RICHES resulted then FINE, let the ACTUAL VICTIMS file a SUIT!
A REAL STUDY about SLAVERY would be an eye opener for most black Americans. In SC, the LARGEST SLAVE OWNER WAS A BLACK MAN!! His slaves were treated terribly! It’s in the RECORDS!! AND, after the slaves were FREED, there were many who could not function freely and REQUESTED to be “re-slaved”! I’m sure there were many former owners who welcomed them back into a PAID job and then charged them for their living expenses.
It’s not as CLEAN and PROFITABLE and INHUMANE as the DEMOcrats claim! The DEMOcrats probably have caused MORE DAMAGE to black Americans than any slave owner ever did!
Lincoln freed the slaves from the Private Sector, and Southern Democrats immediately put them right back INTO Slavery, in the Public Sector, where they remain to this day.
Thieves will always be thieves.
Free loading is just another form of theft.
The blame should be put in the people who enable the thieves.
The historical fact that hundreds of thousands of white Christians were abducted and enslaved by Muslims from the Barbary States; the actions of men like William Wilberforce, John Newton, Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson, all of whom strove to put an end to slavery; the signing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act on 16th March 1807 and the subsequent formation of the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron, which was in action for almost sixty years, are being erased from history. T
he enemies of free speech who have infiltrated our society are attempting to access the hard drive of human history and delete these folders. They would like nothing better than to overwrite those memory locations with ones and zeroes, so that the files can never be retrieved. Before they are able to do this, each of us needs to remember that as an individual human being (who has the right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers), we have the ability to open up the recycle bin of history, click on the folders about white British men doing everything they could to end slavery, and the folder containing all of the information that has been recorded about the Barbary States, and restore them all.

There’s an article on the Raymond Ibrahim site which evidences the fact that the Transatlantic Slave trade relied heavily on Arab run slave markets. Kind of ironic with Islam presenting itself as completely uninvolved, and people of colour giving their children Arabic names accordingly.
Cervantes was enslaved for a time in North Africa.
Every registered Democrat should pay reparations. They were the slave owners.
It’s only right. Swipe your debit card while at the voting booth. Please, give generously.
“African-Americans have higher rates of heart disease… It is centuries of slavery.” *SIGH*
Who knew! How about reparations FROM freed slaves owed to Union Soldiers who died in great numbers, or were tortured at Chancellorsville? How about the USA pay reparations to the living descendants of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? And to German relatives of civilians who died in Dresden? HOW ABOUT EVERYONE GET REPARATIONS FOR EVERYTTHING? Equal reparations across the board! Finally! Everything equal.
Are there any persons currently alive that were slaves ?
There is no need for the high rates of cardiac mortality to which Ms Harris refers. What is needed in cardiac risk screening, and lifestyle advice (and in some cases medication such as blood thinners) for those who are identified as being likely to have problems. Additionally, without wishing to go into gory details, women of child bearing age have a built in way of monitoring whether their blood clots too readily.
What about the 1.3 million western Europeans that were enslaved by the Ottoman Barbary Pirates?
How much do they want? I’m sure a nice big fat check for $54.13 will fill everyone’s heart with Kamala Harris joy. (sarc.)
Selfish greed and a vote-buying scheme all using other people’s money… Some people of a certain skin tone shade, who have never been slaves, want money, i.e. ‘life energy,’ from people of another skin tone shade who have never owned slaves. “More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies from which it was formed. White slaves were still being brought and sold in the Ottoman Empire, decades after blacks were freed in the United States” Thomas Sowell
This BOILS my blood, reading this!!!
In the case of that half-white communist sodomite, Barack Obama, will he pay reparations to himself?
Three questions the Press must ask Harris and make her answer:
1. Is America systemically racist?
2. Is any American who does not vote for you a racist?
3. Is the only way any American can prove they are not a racist is to vote for you?
Reparations:
People who are not slaves demanding money from people who are not slave owners.
What could possibly go wrong?
Some smart legal group should put forth legal challenge about any effort for reparations to “black” people (or to anyone who may “identify as black”) be the sole financial responsibility of registered DEMOCRATS and those who vote or support DEMOCRATS which is the political organization that had slaves in the past AND continue to this day support the SLAVE TRADE of illegals in the U.S. across the DEMOCRAT Open Borders? Republicans will be exempt since their party are responsible for freeing the slaves. It’s only fair.. Therefore, black Democrats will be paying reparations. to black Republicans. The guilt of slavery rests entirely on the Democrat Party and obviously never learned their lesson since they continue to engage in slavery.
Simultaneously we go after the Muslims to pay reparations to white Europeans.
1.3 million white Europeans were captured and enslaved by the Ottoman Barbary pirates in the 18th and 19th centuries. The first line of the Marine Corps hymn recalls their defeat of the Muslim slave traders.,”……to the shores of Tripoli”.
“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.”
Thomas Jefferson.
The Dems need illegals to vote for them. The illegals don’t know history or anything about the Dems, only that Biden allowed them in.
Daniel Greenfield cries anti-Semitism about 10 times as often as Jerry Seinfeld’s Uncle Leo, but G-d forbid any non-Jewish group deign to mention the history of racism in America. Maybe he’s finally been fully seduced by victimhood as cultural identity.
I don’t suppose that tomorrow’s Greenfield article will condemn Israel for taking tens of billions in reparations payments from Germany since since 1953–most of which has been payed for by Germans who personally had nothing to do with the Holocaust, or that he’ll mention that his father was most likely a beneficiary of those reparations payments as a Polish Holocaust survivor, but then again, Daniel isn’t much if he’s not a race-baiting hypocrite. And go ahead–I know what’s coming: call me a Nazi despite the fact that I believe that German reparations payments were absolutely justified. It just strikes me as a bit hypocritical that Greenfield is pro-reparation when financial reimbursement for historical crimes goes to his group but that he immediately condemns the very thought of it when it applies to those outside of his tribe.
I just pity the poor goyim on this site, being riled up into a rage and race-baited into talking about deporting their own countrymen to Africa, all without realizing that FPM’s central doctrine is Israel First, with America as its arms-giving vassal.
After the Negroes in America were handed their freedom a country in West Africa was set up for them to ”return” too, that was Liberia and we can see today how that country appears to be in the same situation as every single black American Community from Sea to Shining Sea and so a pattern has formed and yet the people in that West African Nation and the people living in the American Projects are still blaming others for the conditions in which they live.
Black folks in America need to learn that success is the best revenge and stop blaming everybody else for the problems they themselves have created within their own communities.
Blacks are blaming Kia, the Korean Car maker for making their Cars TOO EASY to steal, the blacks in America are blaming the Gun makers for them shooting each other dead in their Hood…
Victim victim playing will get ya stuck stuck.
So being fat and lazy has nothing to do with it.
It’s good to know the experts found the real cause of heart disease.
