On a
recent episode of Prager University’s “The Candace Owens Show”—which is more
than enough reason to not vote for this tool anyway—California GOP candidate
for governor in the recall election, Larry Elder said an argument could be made
that slave owners are owed reparations after the Civil War because slavery was
legal and their “property” had been taken:
“When
people talk about reparations, do they really want to have that conversation?
Like it or not, slavery was legal. Their legal property was taken away from
them after the Civil War, so you could make an argument that the people that
are owed reparations are not only just Black people but also the people whose
‘property’ was taken away after the end of the Civil War.”
Their
‘legal’
Property was human beings, stolen from their
homelands and sailed across the seas to be separated and sold from their own
families into a lifetime of forced labor, beatings, rape, murder, being
treated, and called, less than human, and you think the men and women who owned
other human beings deserve reparations?
