Elizabeth Warren gives a full-throated endorsement of reparations at CNN town hall

Lol, Lord please let someone ask her this on live television

 

She's a nutjob.

Warren Says Congress Should Mandate White Americans Atone For Slavery By Giving Money To Black Communities

I don't get it. It was the blood of white soldiers that paid for the freedom of slaves, where are the reparations for those liberators that make this conversation possible? Maybe liberals will get on board if we remind them they were Union troops...

 

Like I like a lot of what Warren proposes on the subject of reparations I am 100% opposed.

 

Senator Pokahontas is a joke

Why she thinks she has a chance to be nominated by the dems is a mystery

 

She's trying to stem the tide of blexit....because she cannot tolerate those uppity .... constituents from leaving her party...

 

My theory suggests bribery for political gain. Again, the pandering woman talking down to her audience is talking nonsense. It will never happen and she knows it.

 

Remember, they are Dems. Anything could happen.

 

So what?

She endorsed abolishing the Electoral College at the same Town Hall.

So?

She has now endorsed TWO Things that have Zero Chance of happening.

She also has ZERO Chance of actually getting the Nom.

^So there's that.

 

Funny, they said the same exact thing about Trump. See how well that worked out?

 

Im not willing to count out Warren yet.

Bet she's got a few tricks up her sleeves.

See below for an illustration of how large her sleeves are.

 

And she tragically abandoned her younger brother.

 

She really is a fool

 

I was actually seriously considering voting for her, but thanks to her support of the impractical green new deal and reparations, I'd rather vote for Trump.

 

The Illogic of Slavery Reparations at This Late Date
How can centuries-old oppression be to blame for problems that became severe only recently?

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a town-hall audience in Jackson, Miss., Monday that “it’s time to start the national, full-blown conversation” about slavery reparations for blacks. Come again? Compensating black Americans for past oppression has been a subject of discussion for decades. The senator’s problem is that large majorities of the public have consistently opposed reparations, not that we don’t talk about it.

James Forman, a black activist, called for $500 million in reparations in 1969 and inspired a 1973 book, “The Case for Black Reparations,” by Yale law professor Boris Bittker. Civil-rights organizations rejected the idea, which the NAACP’s assistant director called “an illogical, diversionary and paltry way out for guilt-ridden whites.” Bayard Rustin, who organized the 1963 March on Washington and was one of Martin Luther King’s closest advisers, was another vocal skeptic of blacks cashing in on the tribulations of long-gone forebears. “The idea of reparations is a ridiculous idea,” Rustin said. “If my great-grandfather picked cotton for 50 years, then he may deserve some money, but he’s dead and gone and nobody owes me anything.”

Each year for more than a quarter-century, Rep. John Conyers introduced a reparations bill in Congress. Other books, like Randall Robinson’s “The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks,” have become best sellers. And prominent legal scholars, such as Charles Ogletree of Harvard Law School, have filed class-action lawsuits seeking compensation for the descendants of slaves. The civil-rights leadership and black elites today generally support reparations.


But public opinion hasn’t moved much. In a 1997 ABC poll, 77% of respondents said the government should not pay black descendants of slaves. In a 2002 Gallup survey, it was 81%. A 2016 Marist poll put opposition to reparations at 72%. Even black support for reparations isn’t as high as you might imagine. The Gallup poll from 2002 found that half of blacks opposed reparations, along with 90% of whites. In 2015, a Kaiser Family Foundation/CNN survey found that 52% of blacks, and only 8% of whites, agreed that the government should “make cash payments to black Americans who are descendants of slaves.”"

Yes come again? More race pandering by a white Democrat politician. We've never had conversations about the folly of reparations? Warren has just suddenly come up with the idea we need to talk about it now?

 

And pre-education programs such as HeadStart have no track record of being successful but just a waste of money.

 

Truly. Academia must be a sorry place if she's representative.

 

Whoops-a-daisy! She like ... totes forgot to factor in that whites are no longer at the top of the heap, on housing/employment/income etc.

Gosh your Progressives are out of touch. They think it's still 1975. Scarily stupid people.

 

Fear and/or carrots have always been the way of politics. Not Klingon politics, however.

 

The single worst thing that the Left has ever done, was turn its back on the working classes. The very reason the Left came into existence in the first place.

Now they are sneering toffs, waving their perfumed handkerchiefs at the unwashed proletariat for having the poor taste to live in non-coastal towns, or vote differently, or put ketchup on their steak.

 

So that disqualifies her, right?,

 

They certainly claimed to be for the working class, and many were likely sincere, but it seems to me their idea of the working class was limited to mob boss unions and votes.

But you're right. They've lost touch with the American people. That's why they want illegals and 16 year olds to vote, with no voter ID and open borders. Those are not apple pie issues.

 

She must believe that most black people are incredibly stupid

 

So my family originally came to this new world in 1609 as an indentured servant. How much do I get?

 

She was hired for her minority status which allows the university to claim it has a diverse faculty
