Mark Levin: The Democrat Party Should Pay any Reparations to the Children of Slaves

The Democrat party likes to talk about paying reparations for slavery. They don’t mean it. Not the way you think. They are using blacks (again) as a way to divert wealth from the hands of people who did the work on their own.

The party of slavery is more interested in creating slaves than helping them. That’s always been their way. But Mark Levin was still willing to play along with the Kamala Harris-Elizabeth Warren’s of the world. To have a conversation about their idea. That the children of slaves are owed something.

“So, I support reparations,” stated Mark Levin. “But I do not support the way in which the Kamala Harris’ of the world and the Elizabeth Warren’s in the world want to pay for it. The American people through the tax system shouldn’t pay for reparations. The Democrat Party should pay for reparations.”

Here’s a section of the transcript from Mark Levin’s statement (care of CNS) followed by the audio. The entire segment is worth the time. He makes an excellent argument. It’s brilliant. And only 5 minutes long.

Points you should keep close for the next time some Democrat repeats the trope that “America” should pay reparations for slavery. No, the Democrat Party should. Check it out.

“I believe, if you can demonstrate that you are progeny of a slave— I don’t mean a recent immigrant who happens to be a minority. No, no, no. I’m not talking about people of that sort. I’m talking about people that, maybe you should get reparations. But who should pay them?

“So, here’s my proposal: The American people, even way back then, didn’t all own slaves. The American people, even way back when, then, weren’t all supportive of slavery. There was a civil war that was fought, fought between two groups – one group, states’ rights and slavery; another group, federalism and anti-slavery. Now, that’s simplistic, but you get the point.

“Now which group is which? Did Abraham Lincoln support slavery? No. Did the Republican Party support slavery? Never. Did the Republican Party support segregation? No. Did the Republican Party support Jim Crow laws in the South? No. Was the Klan an appendage of the Republican Party? No, it was an appendage of the Democrat Party. And every major civil rights bill after the civil war, in the 50s and 60s, was opposed by a significant percentage of elected Democrats and supported by a majority, a significant majority of elected Republicans.

“So, I support reparations. But I do not support the way in which the Kamala Harris’ of the world and the Elizabeth Warren’s in the world want to pay for it. The American people through the tax system shouldn’t pay for reparations. The Democrat Party should pay for reparations. The Democrat National Committee, all the state parties, the Democrats should pay reparations to the distance children of slaves because the Democrat Party, the Democrats – well after the founding of this nation, well after the Declaration and the Constitution, when the country was trying to make things right – it was the Democrats who fought it.
