| House Holds Hearing on Reparations as Biden Calls for Americans to Combat 'Systemic Racism' |
| 2021-02-18 |
| [Western Journal] Members of the House of Representatives held a hearing Wednesday to consider legislation that would establish a commission to make proposals for reparations to be paid to African-Americans and decide whether a national apology for slavery should be issued. The hearing before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties comes as President Joe Biden has said multiple times since his inauguration that the United States is systemically racist. "I think we have to deal with systemic racism that exists throughout society," Biden said at a CNN town hall Tuesday night. Further, on Sunday, Biden signed an executive order focused in part on combating the "scourge of systemic racism" and the "profound polarization" in the U.S. Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, the primary sponsor of H.R. 40, made clear the reparations commission the bill would create is not merely to engage in an academic exercise. |

| #8 Hearings to consider legislation to establish a commission to make proposals? Golly. Someone is into process over product. This is to keep African-Americans on the plantation, being very careful not to jeopardize the possibility of future benefits flowing their way. Because if they meant to actually do it, they’d simultaneously pass the same bill by a bare majority in the House and Senate one morning, reconcile it in the afternoon, pass the reconciled thing the following morning, and have it to President Biden’s desk for his signature promptly at noon on the second day. |

| #6 A teacher asked 3 kids what they needed at home. First kid says a computer. "That's important" said the teacher. The second kid said a television. "That's also important" said the teacher. The third kid said they didn't need anything. The teacher said, "Are you sure? there is nothing you need?" the kid said, "No Dad said now that Joe Biden is President that's the last fucking thing we need". |

| #5 Increasingly clear why they need 7000 troops and an 8 foot fen e with barbed wire. They are jamming all the revolutionary changes through upfront The white supremacy myth and systemic racism claims are the cover for the suppression planned when the counterrevolution erupts. Sound familiar yet? |
