'Slavery ended over 130 years ago': Former NFL player Herschel Walker says Black Americans shouldn't get reparations

AfterMath; Rich Terrell

 Yahoo.com  "Herschel Walker said during a US House hearing that Black Americans should not receive reparations.

" 'Reparations teach separation," Walker argued. "Slavery ended over 130 years ago."

"The Democratic-led House is poised to create a commission to study reparation proposals. 

"The former NFL player Herschel Walker on Wednesday said Black Americans should not receive reparations for slavery.

"A virtual congressional hearing on the issue was being held for House Resolution 40, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, which would create a commission to study reparation proposals.

"Walker, a standout athlete at the University of Georgia who won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 before launching a long professional football career, questioned the logistical feasibility of reparations and dismissed the idea itself as divisive.

" 'We use Black power to create white guilt," he said early in his opening statement. "My approach is biblical. How can I ask my Heavenly Father to forgive me if I can't forgive my brother?' " . . .


Obama comes out of the woodwork, touts reparations for blacks - American Thinker

. . . "Which happens to be the wokester signature issue of the day, now that the federal government is turning on the money spigots for every cause under the sun.

"Fox pointed out that this wasn't Obama's earlier position on reparations, an idea he opposed during his 2008 election. But instead of saying he'd changed his mind owing to the need to be "on the cutting edge" of fashionable leftist thought, and therefore still relevant, the vacay-happy ex-president declared that only the resentful bitter clingers of this country were responsible for stopping him in his redistribution-of-the-wealth socialist dream. In other words, whitey did it.

"Naturally, he was supercilious and patronizing, demonstrating clearly enough that he hasn't changed a bit: . . ."

Out of ammo, Democrats yell 'racism' as Biden's nastiest left-wing cabinet picks go down in flames  . . . "Becerra not only has far left positions but a record as vindictive prosecutor, going after the Little Sisters of the Poor to force them to support abortions against their consciences, to take just one example, and there are many more. He's also got the odor of corruption: His 2008 nomination for U.S. Trade Representative fell apart after news emerged that he lobbied for leniency for a drug trafficker after the latter's rich dad made big donations to the Democratic Party. Pay for play, Xav? He's also an extremely unpleasant person:" . . .
