the Rev. Al Sharpton....the issue is reparations....not just 1 of the issues or talking points but THE central issue.

quote:

Crowd at Al Sharpton’s NAN Conference Demands Reparations Pledge from Hickenlooper: ‘Yes or No!’

quote:

Al Sharpton also asks Hickenlooper if he'd sign reparations commission bill as president.

Hickenlooper begins: "I look at the opportunity to provide every person a real chance…."

Audience member: "Yes or no!"

Hickenlooper, who'd already said in his remarks he would: "YES!"

And there it is.

How about the people who want to give reparations start giving them now and we don't have to use the government to force it.

It’s the only way they can try to recapture the black voters that can see what Trump is doing. This will be their greatest scam on the black voter to date. Many will glee back to the plantation in hopes of getting a check that will
Never come. Trump should counter this by saying he is open to discussions of reparations, that would mind frick them!

Wouldn’t reparations be government forced race-based discrimination?

Want to know how you blow an eminently winnable election?

Watch the Democrats do shite like this in real time.

Insanity.

This will backfire bigly

Where are the reparations for all the northern family members killed?

Reparations already happen with affirmative action.

If you want to legalize pot, fine. Many republicans could get on board.

That still won't move the needle much with the incarceration disparity despite popular Democrat belief.

If I were trump I would legalize marijuana and keep increasing jobs and promise more police safety in troubled neighborhoods not less. Reform prisons with ways to get people back with families

My favorite part of it all was Stacy Abrahams straight up admitting her platform would focus on identity politics. That is is exactly who we need leading our country.... again.

I believe every living slave owner should give reparations to every living slave they owned.

If reparations were needed, it would have been done when slavery was abolished.

Doing it now is just buying votes.

I know some high level Dem strategists around here, and they are frustrated, to say the least.

They know that the D’s have to flip three states: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan (part of the reason why Buttigieg is getting traction - the money people think he can win there). That’s all they have to do, yet the fringe idiots keep rolling out litmus tests like M4A, the Green New Deal, and reparations. It is maddening for them.
