And she claims that President Trump is dividing the country?
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) believes that “writing a check” to the descendants of slaves is not “going to be enough” when it comes to reparations.
In an interview with Jemele Hill’s podcast that was released on Monday evening, Hill, playing a game of “for or against,” asked Harris if she was “for or against” reparations. Harris answered: “complicated.” Hill, who interviewed Harris during Essence Fest in New Orleans, told her “that wasn’t one of the choices.”

The presidential candidate then elaborated, saying she supports Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee’s (D-TX) commission to study reparations.
“We need to address how we’re going to do it… because back to the point I was making about home ownership…back to the point I was making about disparities around education… you can look at health outcomes when you know that black women are three to four times more likely to die in connection with child birth,” Harris said. “So there’s a lot that has to be about looking at this in a way that is about structural and systemic investment in communities.”
Harris said she was “reluctant” to give a simple answer on the issue because she fears Americans will not want to talk about structural and systemic inequalities that reparations advocates have argued have been compounding if the government just writes checks to the descendants of slaves.
“So that’s why I’m reluctant to have a simple answer to it because frankly I don’t believe that writing a check is gonna be enough,” Harris told Hill. “I really don’t… And the worst thing that I think could happen is that checks get written and then everybody says ‘ok, stop talking about this now’ without addressing the systemic inequities that are deep and require investment.”
Harris previously told The Root that “there has to be some form of reparations”—even for “undiagnosed and untreated trauma”—because “we’re looking at more than 200 years of slavery” and “almost a hundred years of Jim Crow.”
“We’re looking at legalized segregation and, in fact, segregation on so many levels that exists today, based on race,” she told The Root earlier this year. “And there has not been any kind of intervention done understanding the harm and the damage that occurred to correct course, and so we are seeing the effects of all of those years play out still today.”

Kamala Harris’s family were slave owners and she could start by writing her own checks to those families her family made slaves not asking people who had absolutely nothing to do with slaves or slaver to pay reparations to people who never were slaves themselves. Simpy a political gambit to use Taxpayer money to get her elected. Typical hypocritical Democrat manipulating all those fools who support them because they are too lazy to go and do some research and find out the truth about the people who have been manipulating them for years.
Check out the wealth of all those democrats who talk about income inequality, Omar is a tax cheat herself. Wake up folks you are being raked over the coals and they really don’t give a hoot as long as you vote for them.
How much will she be contributing towards reparations?
To Kamala La La Harris, will you write a check for every time Jews are anti-semititised by your own people.
Is her daddy going to pay reparations too ? She should pay also since her family had slaves, what a hypocrite. The racist charge has been overused, it is not credible any more and we do not have to pay for any reparations.
She’s just another dope-a-crat pandering to African Americans by telling them what they want to hear in order to get their vote. She tries to come off as African but is descended from Jamaican slave owners. How about she pay reparations to the descendants of th slaves owned by her descendants?
Jemille Hill interviews Harris, tits are showing the cut dress down the middle of her chest makes Kamala laugh like Hillary the hilarious.
Kamala sucks cucumbers I hope you choke on them you dam racist
I want mine , The Irish were slave labor on railroad construction , Apaches were almost wiped out , The French were scammed out of our lands in the La. Purchase , And Germans were made into second hand citizens after the two world Wars , Almost . Send mine in Gold and I demand it , Now or I will incite Riots oops The last part I pulled a Democrat in other words a LIE.
Kookoo Kamala Harris you use you money to pay Reperations don’t you even try to touch mine My Family already paid the fare so you and Conman Corey and All the other Demon DemoCommunist back off. One of m relatives is buried in Sharpsburg Md., another in Gettysburg Pa., yet another at Pittsburg Landing TN. Yet another at Kennessaw Ga., one at Andersonville Ga., one at Vicksburg, Miss. one more at Pearidge Ark., and one more Salisbury N. C. So you Pot smokers in Commufornia, and New Jerksey give all you want but the Blood of my Ancestors paid the bill so get the heck off my back cause we came to this Colony as Indentured Servant we did not a ever own a slave. Others in Kentucky and Ohio ran way stations on the Underground Railroad smuggling slaves to freedom. Not one American of African Descent living today was a slave. You Communist use your salary.
Short answer, Kamala Harris has no answers! The United States of America was founded on July 04, 1776 and slavery in the United States was abolished on January 01, 1865 this is less than 89 years a far cry from 200 years!
What happened before July 04, 1776 is inconsequential! I guess Ms. Harris forgot that her ancestors were slave owners that owned both black and white slaves!
Camel faced kamala harris, wow what’s next from this liberal buffoon who screwed her way to the top. Living in San Francisco for the last 30 yeas has made me a bit of an expert on this snake in the grass. She screwed willie brown and when she got what she wanted from him despite having absolutely no qualifications for the job, she dumped him like last weeks lettuce. Then as one of many of San Francisco’s worst and most ineffective district attorney’s (the one we have now, george gascon is nothing but a clown), she screwed the people of San Francisco, and for some God only known reason she got the same position with the state of California. Then all of a sudden, she became a senator. A leopard never changes their spots and this POS, liar and thief will say and do anything to get what she wants. One thing for certain, if this anti white, anti Catholic and socialist, oh hell, call her a ‘communist’ gets the nomination and God forbid, the presidency she’ll screw us all, mark my words. On the other hand, there aren’t that many stupid morons who’ll give this ‘race card puller’ the time of day.and seeing that she’s from California should seal her fate. After all, who wants the rest of the USA to end up a CRAPHOLE like California and as she’s from San Francisco, the recently proclaimed ‘doo doo’ capital of the west cost and America’s version of the third world cities of calcutta, mogadishu, nairobi and port au prince?
Can I get a reparation check since I’m a descendant of poor people?
Maybe Kamala Harris should pay since her family were slave owners. My ancestors were never slave owners, they slaved on land for years before they became owners of their small farms. I DO NOT OWE ANYBODY ANY REPARATIONS. BLACKS HAVEN’T BEEN SLAVES FOR ALMOST 200 YEARS, EXCEPT TO THE DEMOCRATS. THE WELFARE PROGRAM, PUT IN BY THE DEMOCRATS, MAKE THOSE IN A SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT. THERE ARE WHITES, AS WELL AS BLACKS WHO ARE SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY, NO GOOD BUMS.
My family immigrated here from Europe in the early 1700s. This concept of compensating the ancestors of slaves is ridiculous. Where is my check? Over a dozen ancestors that we’re family of mine died fighting for the freedom of those slaves. I have seen the headstones and the gravesites. If you’re going to write checks write them to everyone that sacrificed something for the freedom of the slaves. Also, my family members died. Along with hundreds of thousands of other men fighting for the slaves freedom. The majority of the slaves either walked free or chose to stay on as employees of the farms and plantations. My family never bought slaves, owned slaves, missed treated slaves or made them work against their will. Why should I have to suffer. Where is the money for these checks going to come from? If you want to talk about atrocities to human beings, Let’s not forget the Jews. What they suffered made slavery look like a day at Disneyland.
I want to know if Harris is qualified to run as. presidential candidate. Both parents came to the US in 1960 and 1961. She was born in 1964 in Calif and they needed to be here fir 5 years before they could become US. Neither parent was a citizen. We need to see written proof that she us. We got taken by the last community organizer that all his records are sealed.
Get off the race cards already, thats so outdated, people want real present day solutions to why you people hold so much wealth in political jobs? They were never intended to cater to or make you people rich
Kamala Harris hates Christians, especially Catholics! Want proof? Check the Supreme Court Kavenaugh hearings!
Reparations go to slaves not descendants 100 year’s later or more ,besides that’s why Democrats invented welfare
I want to hear how Kamala Harris proposes to make reparations to all of the descendants of the slaves that were kept by her family.
Hypocrite, much?
Yes, let’s talk reparations & “reverse slavery”. I have an address where she can send her first payment. I have never owned a slave, have no desire to own a slave, and neither do I desire to be someone’s slave (the reverse slavery comment). We, as Americans, need to learn to get along. We are, after all, Americans. Our educational system is open to all, no deference’s due to race or religion. No one is being left out. As my parents told me when I was a youngster having a bad day, just learn to get along. Good advice to everyone in the US of A.
That stupid bitch don’t know who she is or what she wants. She needs to start writing checks to the descendants of slaves
sorry to say ,yous democrats already divided the country in 2008 , as for racism , it will never die till blacks stop using it as a weapon , and womens new weapon of choice is your a sexist, so you don’t have to wonder why i classify blacks and women in the same boat , seems they just can’t shut the hell up , and i get tired of listening to them whine about stupid stuff
Well Ho Bag, if we didn’t have Democrats, most of those problems you’re bitching about wouldn’t exist…
Ain’t gonna happen and Harris ain’t gonna happen further. This affirmative action princess is apparently too full of hate, stupidity, and self-adoration to “get” much of anything. Truth be told, she should be ignored. Only the moronic lemming class of Californio might think she’s cool. She isn’t. She is a total fraud.
Each current 2020 presidential candidate is crazier than the next. They all show a complete lack of common sense, logic, and understanding. Take away our cars, airplanes, power but make sure illegals have health care? If this is not loony I shudder to think what is.
We need a double win! Forget reparations and Kamala Harris too! Neither one is necessary. A lost cause and a loon!
This woman’s own father has called her a racist and a fake. She claims to be black, but is not. What else is she not being honest about?
