White House press secretary Jen Psaki signaled on Wednesday that President Joe Biden is open to considering racial reparations depending on the actions of Congress, promising that the president is committed to taking “comprehensive action to address the systemic racism that persists today.”
Racial reparations is a widely unpopular proposal in the United States which, even immediately following the racially charged death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, only 20 percent of Americans supported.
Psaki made the remarks during an exchange with a reporter who brought up that Biden said during his campaign that he supported a study for reparations. “Does the President support the legislation?” the reporter asked. “He stopped short of saying that during the campaign. Would he sign that if it came to his desk?”
“Well, he’s supported a study of reparations, which is I believe is what’s being discussed, and studying the continuing impacts of slavery, which is being discussed in this hearing on H.R. 40, I believe it is,” Psaki responded. “And he continues to demonstrate his commitment to take comprehensive action to address the systemic racism that persists today. Obviously, that is — having that study is a part of that, but he has signed an executive order on his first day, which would begin to deliver on his commitment to having an across-government approach to addressing racial inequality and making sure equity is a part of his entire policy agenda.”
Bull chit….. ludicrous.
It’s to create division giving government more control, you’ll have to submit to them but like everyone that’s made a deal with the Devil … you lose
We already have reparations now , It’s called welfare, snap and section 8 housing.
According to a black civil rights activists of the 19 60’s, Bob Woodson, the U.S. spent over 22 trillion dollars on welfare programs since the mid sixties….That sounds like a whole lot of reparations. ..At the same time, the federal government is financing a major criminal breeding problem…
If that happens Plenty of Americans will be considering Use of Force !!!!!!
Just more RACIST DIVISION the Democrats are pushing for. Got to keep them on that plantation because they certainly do not want the Blacks to know they have a brain and can think for themselves. That is the only way they can CONTROL them.
Affirmative Action (Reverse Discrimination) over 50 years is ENOUGH Reparations !!!
Time for the WHITES to get their Reparations now !!!!
Democrats keep trying to start a Civil War & they just might get what they ask for !!!
Whites had to fight the wars of the world & save the world !!!! They deserve the Reparations !!!!
