A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Al Green of Texas, have introduced a bill (H. Res. 919) that would establish a Cabinet-level Department of Reconciliation. The new department, if formed, would be tasked with waging “unconditional war on racism” and be given about $70 billion a year to do it.
“Invidious discrimination has no place in our society,” Green stated in introducing the resolution on February 9, “yet we will never see its demise as long as we fail to rectify the injustices that have been proliferating within our nation over the course of centuries …. A Department of Reconciliation with the necessary resources and budget to heal the wounds of our nation is long overdue.”
Author and commentator Dr. Carol Swain says in her eyes, the bill’s backers are the last people qualified to address racism in the US.
“I find it ironic that [many of] the Democrats who have signed onto it … are a part of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is itself a caucus that many Americans would consider racist because it segregates black legislators from white legislators,” Swain begins.
The bill stipulates racism in the United States is “pervasive,” “institutionalized,” and “systemic” – and specifically calls out policing, criminal justice, voting, housing, banking, employment, education, health care, and the environment.
Swain, a retired professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt, says all that is a fiction fabricated for political gain.
“The bill should never become law because it seems to be heavily influenced by critical race theory – and I think we need to focus on [the label] ‘theory,'” she emphasizes. “It’s someone’s idea dreamed up in an armchair, [and] it’s not necessarily supported by reality. So, it’s not like something that has been proven.”
And while the resolution isn’t likely to become law, Swain says the effort betrays the motives of the race-obsessed Left. “I cannot think of anything that would be more divisive to our country than to set up a Cabinet-level ‘department of reconciliation’ that’s based on racist principles,” she offers.
Racism, she argues, isn’t something that just happens to black people. “Any group can be racist in their actions,” Swain adds, “and they can harm other people.”
The Democrat Party professes to be passionate enemies of racism; they in fact perpetuate racism by injecting it where it does not otherwise exist in order to cultivate racism and political division.
These Dishonorable, treasonous, socialist Democrat phony racist crusades have little or nothing to do with protecting the sensitivities of Black Americans and everything to do with the Democrats setting themselves up as their saviors. Their practice of patronizing groups cannot yield to the facts that the Democrat Party has a long history of racial discrimination. For their cause is not defending the oppressed or the offended but about making themselves look wonderful with their latest destructive political Con.
As for The Democrat Party’s fantasy that it’s the Republicans who are obsessed with race, maybe they should be reminded of who’s pushing Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project, rubbing salt into racial wounds daily, and promoting the fiction that the greatest threat to the republic is “white supremacy.”
I would love to ask these demonspawn, EXACTLY WHAT RACISM is left in america, that isn’t COMING FROM THE BLACKS TOWARDS everyone else??
Rep. Al Green, “Invidious discrimination has no place in our society.” Rep. Al Green, you have “no place in our society” as you suffer from “invidious discrimination”. Hey Al, take your CRT and blm to North Korea and never come back!
What is dirt” Dirt is nothing but matter in the improper place.
Racism is the government misplaced dirt of a misused concept of American equality that has misplaced Trillions of American dollars and tens of millions in American life force, ever since LBJ’s so called Great Society that has made the USA become less and less racially united and less and less great, since the foolish attempts to go against the natural forces of human nature to blame others individually or collectively for one’s failures consistently performed, that are based on an ill-conceived false concept that equality is something that can be enforced. The only way to ban discrimination is to get the whole subject out of the law books and let THE PEOPLE work it out in their hearts, minds, souls, in the listening to the voices of the better Angels of their nature that God speaks to all men through their consciences. Attempting to legislate morality is bankrupting and dividing this nation, and any fools that further propose to do this should be placed in a well-padded cell in a high security insane asylum. To continue to do the same failing thing as we have for the past 60 years and expecting to get a better or different result than failure IS the definition, and prime now social learned and experienced name for INSANITY, and proven to be the greatest example of social government theft, and human debasement in social dependency, since the creation of man himself.
“I find it ironic that [many of] the Democrats who have signed onto it … are a part of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is itself a caucus that many Americans would consider racist because it segregates black legislators from white legislators,” Swain begins.
How about another $70 billion to eliminate thought and speech control? Oh, and say, another $70 billion to eliminate suppression of freedom of choice. Newsflash to Democrats—money is not the answer to these types of problems. We are dealing with the hearts and minds of human beings who have made a voluntary choice to think and act as they do and that can only be changed by rational thinking and making better choices. And asking the problem to solve the problem isn’t going to work either.
This racism malarkey is predominantly being perpetrated by the very people who claim they are the victims of it and who are the most vocal about it.
AND if you note, the dems ALWAYS JUST LOVE THROWING OUR money at problems, THEY CREATE.
