The term is called reparations, and the bill proposed to Congress a little over a year ago is known as H.R. 40 – a law that would potentially pay billions of dollars to Americans simply because they were granted the blessing of being born here, and also happen to have ancestors who were once slaves. Whispers are circulating of a concerted media effort in conjunction with the Obama White House to see H.R. 40 passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama within the next two years.
Longtime Michigan Congressman John Conyers Jr. is said to have met with President Obama “several times” to talk specifically about H.R. 40. These meetings have also included a number of prominent media members who also advocate the idea of a federal reparations program for descendants of American slaves.
A portion of H.R. 40 reads as follows:
A BILL
To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality,
and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and
the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and
to establish a commission to examine the institution of
slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and
economic discrimination against African-Americans, and
the impact of these forces on living African-Americans,
to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate
remedies, and for other purposes.
Congressman Conyers’ circle of influence includes radical anti-White Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
The Reverend Al Sharpton is said to be coordinating efforts with Congressman Conyers as well, with both men visiting the White House often in recent years.
