Anyone else dumbfounded, incensed, if not enraged by the legitimate suggestion of this crap?

Dems are terrified at loosing some of the black vote to Trump. A percentage point or two would be devastating. So Dems are trying anything they can. David

That pretty much sums it up..The harder to the left the dems go (passing Karl Marx on the way) the more people begin to walk away, Black people are waking up to the fact that they've been used like a tube of toothpaste for the last 50 years or so by the dems, and are about to be dropped in the trash, in favor of illegals from central and south america.. Damage control for votes is all it is, the dems know it'll never get passed, but it makes for a great soundbite, when trolling for votes..

So they'll continue to lie to them in hopes they will continue to be stupid and believe them.

Steve Harvey has to go full racist:

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainm...g-reparations/

Daytime TV star and radio host Steve Harvey ripped Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R- KY) over his dismissal of reparations Wednesday, calling him a “hillbilly.”
On Wednesday’s The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Harvey responded to McConnell’s dismissal of issuing reparations, calling him a “hillbilly” and asserting that America’s election of a black president meant nothing.

“The Civil War broke out because you wanted to keep slavery,” Harvey argued. “Because you 13 southern states wanted to keep slavery.”

It is unclear who Harvey is referring to there, as McConnell’s state – Kentucky – did not join the Confederacy.

“You weren’t with this message that came from the North to free slaves,” Harvey said. “The second thing, we tried to correct its passage with Civil Rights laws. Y’all fought us on every tooth and nail, you sent guard dogs on us, firehouses, you killed Martin Luther King.”

“‘We’ ain’t elect no-damn-body. I promise you, your ass did not vote for him,” Harvey said in response to McConnell’s reminder that America elected a black president – Barack Obama – twice.

“You did nothing but try to destroy him,” he continued. “So, what would you expect this hillbilly to say other than what he said?”

“You say that you don’t want to be responsible for something that happened I think he said 150 years ago,” Harvey added. “Well, you weren’t there when they wrote this Constitution that you love to throw up in everybody’s face.”

On Tuesday, McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill that paying reparations for “something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible” is a bad idea.

My take: Sad. I had a lot of respect for Steve Harvey. My mom loves to watch him on Family Feud. I thought the guy came across as intelligent and not prone to stooping to name-calling. And I say that based on my opinion that "hillbilly" is a racist term. I have known many people in my life offended by the word.

Seriously?

"We ain't elect no damn body!"

"........ this Constitution that you love to throw up in everybody’s face"

He's a pretty funny guy. I've watched him on Family Feud when I'm at my mom's house. I thought the guy might be a decent dude with a few more brain cells than, say, oh, pick your average libtard entertainer.
