I know of so many instances of insult and mistreatment of African-Americans over the course of my 83 years, and wish deeply there was a way to make up for the wrongs done to heros like the Tuskegee Airmen, the draft race riots in the 1860s, buses in the Jim Crow days and so many instances not listed. Those victims should be compensated. But not the rioters of Ferguson, Missouri; Watts, Rodney King nor those scowling elected officials who speak words to inflame Americans against each other. The Sharpton's, Waters', Joy Reids, Raphael Warnocks, Obamas. et. al. are an infection in the national political body. We need more like Ben Carson, Larry Elder.Candace Owens, Tyrus, Sheriff David Clarke, Rep J.C. Watts, Rep Tim Scott and so many more. TD
Dem Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Claims Slavery Reparations Would Have Stopped Covid From Spreading… "So a person who has never owned a slave is expected to pay money to someone who has never been a slave. Makes perfect sense."
REP. JACKSON LEE: "Reparations for African-Americans could have cut COVID-19 transmission and infection rates both among blacks and the population at large." pic.twitter.com/GpgKBr2AHf

Sheila Jackson Lee cites study claiming reparations could have cut Covid infection rates - USSA News | The Tea Party's Front Page. Lee stated, "There is no doubt that we have been impacted, the… the DNA in the trans, the trajectory of slavery til today. For example the COVID, black African Americans got COVID at nearly a rate of one and a half times higher than that of white people, or hospitalized at a rate nearly four times higher, three times likely to die. COVID hit us very desperately,” Jackson Lee contended.
“ 'Interestingly, a recent peer-reviewed study from Harvard medical school suggests that reparations for African Americans could have cut COVID-19 transmission and infection rates both among blacks and the population at large,” she went on to claim.
“ 'Reparations are curative. They Are not punishment. The analysis continued to look at data throughout the nation. And so as we move in this lame-duck session, it is important that we come together for reconciliation to restoration and provide the commission to study slavery and to develop reparation proposals. I thank my colleagues for their support and I believe together we make America strong, America free, America just, and America equal,” she conclsHuded.
"Jackson Lee did not give the exact reference for her claim but the study does actually exist, unfortunately. But that does not make it factual or correct."
