Maxine Waters Commits To Reparations

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters said during an event in Selma, Alabama on Saturday that she would “be happy” to secure financial reparations for black Americans.

Waters said as long as Democrats win back the House in 2020 and are able to get a president who is friendly to their agenda, it would be “wonderful” to get
reparations.

“I’d be happy to do that. That’s no problem,” Waters said when an event attendee pressed her to support reparations.

“In order to get where we need to go on this issue and other issues, we really got to understand that 2018 is important in taking back the House and taking back the
 Senate,” Waters said. “And of course, we’ve got to get the White House back.”

“If we want to get to the point where we can get reparations, we’ve got to have the power to do that, number 1, by having a supportive president would be wonderful,
 but taking back the House would be absolutely wonderful,” she continued.

Waters also used the speech to attack President Trump, stating that he has a “bully mentality” and that we need someone in the White House who “understands diplomacy
and understands what we need to do to have peace in this world.”

CNN commentator Angela Rye asked Waters if that was her “stump speech for 2020,” 

and Waters just laughed and said “that’s kinda it.”

Illegal Immigrants Get Pathway To Citizenship Blacks Get National Hymn

Heading into the first 100 days of Biden's administration when policy priorities are being discussed and various grups are jockeying for position,instead of making sure there is robust Black Agenda and specific policy in play, in exchange for Democrats using Black voters to smooth the way for them, career politicians like Jim Clyburn are proposing a Black National Hymn in order to quell racial tensions. #First100Days This after George Stephanopoulos asked Jim Clyburn what he wanted in exchange for helping Biden to the White' House and he said nothing. I guess he thought about it and thought a national hymn would be a good idea. That bill will definitely make it pass the house. So the only specific policy Black people are getting is a bill to make Lift Every Voice and Sing the official national hymn. Illegal Immigrants are getting a pathway to citizenship for border hopping while we get a national hymn. A caravan from Central America is headed toward the US border as we speak.
