Progressive (D) Bernie Sanders was asked by Meet The Presses-Chuck Todd, Would he grant reparations to Black Americans. Sanders stated that reparations for Blacks would cause divisiveness in the country, Sanders next remarks sounded as If he was taunting the black community. Sanders said It's absolutely wrong that America has so much poverty, and that poverty Is even worst in Black communities, but clearly didn't want to do anything to change It.
He did give the same old suggestion of jobs but no real policy plan to rebuild the Black American community. In 2017 H.R.40 a proposal To study the affects of slavery,Jim crow and other harsh circumstances the community faced. H.R.40 gained the support of only 35 democrats-Bernie Sanders has not singed the proposal.
Enslaved Blacks faced cruel punishment by the hands of slave traders,overseers,and slave owners. These events left both enslaved blacks and their descendants psychologically scared. Medical experiments left hundreds of men and women- permanently Injured, mentally and emotionally scarred.
Bared from education slaves spent hundreds of years hostage on plantations, deprived of basic skills like reading, writing, and social studies which consequently left a sizable learning deficit, that still plagues the black community today. Acts of terror used by the KKK, Dixiecrats, and their associates kept both newly freed Blacks, and Black strivers from participating In The Pursuit Of Happiness.
More current forms of abuse consisted of frequent lynching's, under funded schools, unwarranted removal of children from the home, Denied full access to the G.I Bill., War on drugs/Blacks, Redlining, and Mass incarceration. Then came (44) or former president OBAMA who used all the Black talking points to win both of his elections, he boasted a change would come for Blacks. But ultimately he followed In the footsteps of his predecessors and did nothing for Black America. Instead Obama at times belittled and dismissed blacks, even using stereotypical language stating that, pookie& ray ray have to go out and vote. These are fictional characters who are deemed unintelligent, and the lowest of the black community.
When Obama was asked about reparations for Blacks-Obama said other races would be upset, and whites would feel as if their debt had been paid. Of course he said jobs would fix the problem. The most troubling thing to acknowledge about Obama Is his background as an civil rights attorney. Well versed In constitutional law, and yet while Obama was president he never tried to amend the 13th amendment. Funny... he managed to sign an executive order on behalf of dreamers/DACA.
In conclusion, the democratic party have enjoyed years of the Black vote using their 501c3 buddies to influence the church crowed. Now that( 45) President Trump has offered a first-Step towards tackling mass incarceration, a democratic talking point... what will democrats do? Will they continue to openly exploit the black community? or will the Black community finally wisen up and leave Dems. to represent their current obsession-illegal immigrants,.
