Democrat congresswoman calls slave reparations a 'bold effort that people want to not do'
 ...the clownish U.S. Representative-for-life for Texas's 18th congressional district, serving since 1995. The district includes most of inner-city Houston. She is noted for her lack of tact and intellect. She is a member of the Democratic Party, and almost its epitome...called on Democrats to mobilize together and advocate for passage of a bill to form a commission on slave reparations, calling it a "bold effort that people want to not do." "You must as a community ensure that the Congress moves on H.R. 40 and that is call your members of Congress to ensure they are co-sponsors," she said on Friday during a virtual town hall on "Systemic Racism Beyond Policing." "We're the provocative legislation that people want to think twice about being on because it clearly says that something must be done about the governmental action that was done to enslave Africans and then the descendants of enslaved Africans," she added. The Texas Democrat referred to her bill, Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act, as "the mother of this movement of trying to get us where we need to be."
