Here we go again.. Fire alarm puller Jamal Bowman and the communist “squad” want $14 trillion for black people. Yes, that T for trillions. Our national debt has exploded to $34 trillion.
United States Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) recently sponsored a bill that claims the country has a “moral and legal obligation” to dish out $14 trillion in reparations, Fox News Digital reported.
Bowman, a Democratic “Squad” member, backed H.R. 414, which seeks to provide trillions of dollars in reparations “for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on the lives of millions of Black people in the United States.”
“Whereas Black people are, and have always been, human beings, yet the Federal Government has historically failed to recognize our dignity and humanity,” the bill read.
“The Federal Government must compensate descendants of enslaved Black people and people of African descent.”
The legislation, sponsored by Bowman and thirteen other Democratic lawmakers, claimed that the U.S. government had implemented “policies that led to the economic, political, and social erosion of Black communities” and “fail[ed] to keep Black people safe from or actively sanctioning White domestic terrorism and failing to prosecute it when it occurred.”
It accused the federal government of being directly responsible for imposing segregation, which led to “harmful health outcomes and environmental racism,” “ongoing harms of racialized mass incarceration and family separation,” and “banking, consumer, housing, health, education, and employment discrimination.”
“Whereas reparations must be administered by the Federal Government to descendants of enslaved Black people and people of African descent for sanctioning the kidnapping and trafficking of human beings, creating and maintaining a violent racial hierarchy, embedding slavery and other methods of economic exploitation into the fabric of society, and emboldening White supremacy with legal, social, and economic tools of control,” the bill continued.
