Kamala Harris is all in for reparations for black Americans who were never slaves, paid for by Americans who have never owned a single slave. Nearly 50 million black people are living in America, and some of them are not eligible for reparations. I firmly believe that slavery left a black mark on this country, but I am against reparations for a variety of reasons. The number one reason is that the people who have the burden of paying reparations never committed slavery, and no one living today was ever a slave.
The second reason I am against reparations is that it would raise inflation through the roof. If just half of the 50 million black population is eligible for reparations and gets one million each, that would cost twenty-five trillion dollars that the federal government would have to borrow at a high interest rate, inflation would set new records, and families would lose their homes or keep food on the table.
In an interview with The Root, Harris remarked that:
“there have to be some form of reparations.”
A poll was taken in Arizona by Iron Light Intelligence for the League of American Workers. The poll questioned 600 voters, and they found that Trump and Harris were tied, but when questioned about reparations, Harris voters approved of reparations by only 44%. Among undecided voters, only 6% favor reparations. That gives Trump a powerful weapon to use against Harris.
In 2019, Steve Cortes wrote for Real Clear Politics:

The reparations were paid with the lives of well over 300,000 Union soldiers, men who died to reunite our nation and abolish human bondage on these shores. In fact, the Civil War was so brutal that the total loss of life equates to over 7 million dead in today’s population terms. Those radicals rude enough to demand additional reparations should visit Gettysburg National Cemetery, where over 3,500 Union soldiers lay for eternity, their young lives sacrificed for a great cause that led to the elimination of slavery in our land. Reparations were indeed paid, not just by those brave men but by the widows and orphans they left behind.”
So, this radical goal represents a huge vulnerability for Harris if Trump supporters message effectively and often on this crucial issue. Think about the practical fallout of taking money from Hispanic, Asian and white Americans to give it to their black neighbors for crimes committed 160 years ago. Such programs would put America on the same path as South Africa, a country that is embroiled in constant, turbocharged racial bitterness and sectarian violence.
Trump himself needs to confront Harris on this issue at the upcoming debate. In addition, the Trump campaign and all of us working to elect Trump to a second term must fully expose Harris’ extremism on this topic.
Consider, for example, the status of Harris herself on this issue. Since she is half Indian and half black, would she receive a half payment? Would she have to pay on her Indian side, collect as half black, so it cancels out to a wash for her? These questions seem ridiculous… because they are! The entire notion of race-based payments and preferences is ridiculous and patently anti-white, Hispanic and Asian.
So, let’s bury this divisive and Marxist idea of race-based reparations. One key step toward that goal is defeating Harris — and she is super vulnerable on this issue.
