United States' Moral Debt

| Hello, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| The censors hate my videos, so if you like this one, I hope you'll send the link to a lot of people. | |
| Last May, a group of colorful congresspersons introduced House Resolution 414, recognizing that the United States has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans. | |
| It pulls no punches. | |
| First, You, the taxpayer, are responsible for slavery from before there was even a United States of America. | |
| That is from 1619 when the first slaves came to Virginia until 1789 when the U.S. Congress first met. | |
| 170 years. | |
| We have to compensate blacks for that because the United States was founded based on black plunder. | |
| The bill says that at least 12,500,000 Africans were kidnapped from their homelands by European traders and forcibly brought across the Atlantic Ocean. | |
| Except that Europeans didn't kidnap people. | |
| Africans gladly sold them slaves that they had caught. | |
| And of that 12.5 million, only about 2.5% came to what became the United States, but we're apparently to blame for all of them. | |
| Ever since the first black man set foot in the colonies. | |
| The economy of the United States in both the North and South flourished as a result of black trafficking, torture, and exploitation. | |
| Torture was apparently good for the economy. | |
| North and South, all are equally guilty. | |
| New York began to abolish slavery in 1799, but it then produced the agricultural tools that were used in southern plantations. | |
| Did you know that bodies of enslaved people were gorged and congealed in the name of white supremacist hate? | |
| Well, they were. | |
| And did you know that scholars have estimated that the United States benefited from 222,505,049 hours of forced labor? | |
| They've got it down to the hour, but no link or footnote. | |
| Respected economists have estimated totals at minimum $14 trillion to eliminate the racial wealth gap. | |
| That's about $350,000 for every black man, woman, and child, for a cool $1.4 million for a family of four. | |
| Here are median household wealth figures by race for 2022. | |
| The white-black gap is only $223,000, but the Asian-black gap is twice that. | |
| $474,000. | |
| So it looks like reparations means not just keeping up with the Joneses, but pulling way ahead of the Watanabe's, too. | |
| That $14 trillion, by the way, is more than twice the annual budget of the United States. | |
| H.R. 414 is silent on where the money will come from. | |
| But once the checks are cashed, The National Parks Services must seek to erect markers on every site where a black person was lynched. | |
| There's a lot more stuff in this bill, such as targeted mental health treatment to help blacks overcome racial trauma that won't go away. | |

Congresswoman for Justice

|
| Maybe not having reminders of lynching everywhere would help. | |
| In short, this is cuckoo stuff, and H.R. 414 will never get out of committee, at least not during this Congress. | |
| Let's look at the initial sponsors, but only at their own words from their congressional websites. | |
| This video would be three hours long if I went into even just half of their slimy business deals, trick marriages, moronic statements, and outright lies. | |
| Let's just let them speak for themselves. | |
| Lead sponsor Cori Bush, in her second term from St. Louis, Missouri, calls herself a community activist, organizer, single mother, and ordained pastor. | |
| She's the first black woman to represent Missouri. | |
| She says, growing up, Cori's father imparted on her the lessons of legendary black leaders whose photos hung on the walls of their house. | |
| After Michael Brown was shot, Cori spent more than 400 days Protesting for justice, leading on the Ferguson front line. | |
| Whenever she rises to speak on the floor, she doesn't say, I rise. | |
| She says, St. Louis and I rise. | |
| Al Green of Texas says he has devoted his life to the elimination of all forms of invidious discrimination and the rectification of America's seminal sin, racism. | |
| He is a big booster of Slavery Remembrance Day and is very proud that he was behind a statement by President Joe Biden marking Slavery Remembrance Day. | |
| This was part of his effort to start healing the chasm of racial animus that exists within our nation today. | |
| Brand new Congressman Jonathan Jackson of Illinois has a bio that starts with all you need to know. | |
| Born to civil rights leaders Reverend Jesse Jackson and Jacqueline Jackson, the fight for underrepresented people runs in Congressman Jackson's blood. | |
| Looks like the old man, too, doesn't he? | |
| He slid into the seat in Congress that Bobby Rush, former Black Panther, held for 30 years. | |
| The daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants is the first thing co-sponsor Delia Ramirez says about herself. | |
| Not just Guatemalan immigrants, working-class immigrants. | |
| She has a bold and people-centered agenda and is a staunch advocate of housing as a human right, health care for all, climate justice, and the fight to preserve and protect our democracy. | |
| Also, as the only member of Congress in a mixed-status family, she's leading the fight for comprehensive immigration reform. | |
| Mixed-status family means her husband isn't illegal, and comprehensive immigration reform means amnesty. | |
| Another co-sponsor is Ilan Omar, who needs no introduction. | |
| She is the first African refugee to become a member of Congress, the first woman of color to represent Minnesota, and one of the first two Muslim American women elected to Congress. | |
| What would James Madison have thought of that? | |
| She is creating a just immigration system. | |
| I can see it now. | |
| And she is determined to build a more inclusive and compassionate culture. | |
| I'm not quite sure what that is. | |
| She is a member of 33 caucuses, listed here, which include the Armenian caucus, hockey caucus, bike caucus, and the friends of a free, stable, and democratic Syria caucus. | |
| Who knew? | |
| Congresswoman Summer Lee of Pennsylvania is another co-sponsor. | |
| Her first sentence about herself says she is a dedicated organizer, attorney, and progressive state legislator. | |
| She got it right later on when she bragged about being the first black woman ever elected to Congress from western Pennsylvania. | |
| She says she is leading efforts to build a more reflective democracy. | |
| I'd like a more reflective democracy, too. | |
| Of whom, a bit more later, is ambitious. | |
| In his first term alone, he introduced nine bills to invest in our schools, tell the truth, make the rich pay their fair share, and end corporate greed. | |
| And of course, there's Rashida Tlaib, who introduces herself as a well-known progressive warrior. | |
| Also, she is the oldest of 14 children, born and raised in Detroit, the proud daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents. | |
| She is a co-founder of the Congressional Mamas Caucus. | |
| No grab for your money would be complete without Ayanna Pressley. | |
| Note her slogan, bringing the people closest to the pain, closest to the power. | |
| She calls herself an activist, a legislator, a survivor, and the first woman of color to be elected to Congress from Massachusetts. | |
| She is a champion for justice and healing. | |
| Reproductive justice, justice for immigrants, consumer justice, and a whole lot more. | |
| And then there's Barbara Lee, who has represented California since 1998. | |
| Her website says her mother broke many glass ceilings and racial barriers, and that she worked with the local NAACP to integrate her high school cheerleading squad. | |
| She's the first black to do something, but I forget what. | |
| Some other members have signed on. | |
| Sydney Kamlager-Dove says she was born into a family of politically active creatives and will always be a strong voice for justice. | |
| Yvette Clark tells us she is the daughter of Jamaican immigrants and formed the Multicultural Media Caucus to address diversity and inclusion issues in the media, telecom, and tech industries. | |
| Surprisingly, there's not one goofy white person in the bunch. | |
| So far, it's an all-BIPOC effort. | |
| I mentioned that the bill is silent on funding, but squad lawmaker explains creative way to pay $14 trillion. | |
| That's squad member Jamal Bowman. | |
| He says it would be like COVID relief money. | |
| Where did the money come from? | |
| Bowman said. | |
| We spent it into existence. | |
| These are the people who want to splash out twice the annual federal budget to make black people richer than Asians. | |
| These are the people to whom we are handing over the country. | |
| It's not just bad luck when you have people in Congress who are African refugees or who think we can just spend $14 trillion into existence. | |
| People just like them voted them into office. | |
| And they're not shy about what they want. | |
| Massive wealth transfers and immigration reform. | |
| And they take for granted that white oppression is the only reason for black failure. | |
| It's not. | |
| Haiti is a wreck because Haitians live there, not because white people wrecked it. | |
| Black neighborhoods were wrecked by black people. | |
| They were thriving when they were white. | |
| These are basic facts, ladies and gentlemen, like that pesky 15-point black-white IQ difference. | |
