So far, kooky Cory Booker’s fundraising numbers and poll performance for 2020 have been a disaster. She he has to do something to get attention. That’s why he suddenly introduced the slavery reparations bill to Senate. This of course has no chance of going anywhere, but it’s just the latest attempt by Booker to try and desperately pander to the communist base of the Democrat party.
On Monday, the senator said that the bill will study whether or not slavery reparations will help to alleviate past racial injustice in the United States.
“This bill is a way of addressing head-on the persistence of racism, white supremacy, and implicit racial bias in our country,” said Booker. “It will bring together the best minds to study the issue and propose solutions that will finally begin to right the economic scales of past harms and make sure we are a country where all dignity and humanity is affirmed.”
Booker added that slavery in this country fueled a subsequent system of white supremacy designed to keep black Americans from competing economically.
“Since slavery in this country, we have had overt policies fueled by white supremacy and racism that have oppressed African-Americans economically for generations,” Booker added. “Many of our bedrock domestic policies that have ushered millions of Americans into the middle class have systematically excluded blacks through practices like ‘G.I. Bill’ discrimination and redlining.”
