    Earl Blumenauer Retweeted Kyle Griffin

    This is wrong. The effects of slavery have carried on far past June 19, 1865 & electing an African-American president did not do away the harms done to generations. I applaud @HouseJudiciary for holding a #Juneteenth hearing on establishing a commission to study reparations.https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1141079506616291332 …

    McConnell: "I don't think reparations for something that happened 150 yrs ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea. We've tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war ...We've elected an African American president." Via ABC pic.twitter.com/yGQLpeyHGz

        Great! Since the British brought slavery to the colonies and the cotton gin made slavery an institution, it's only right that the UK and the Whitney family pay everyone of color $2000 a month. (And still that won't be enough. Just drop it.)

        This statement is proof of how archaic and out of touch this perspective is. How fitting that this well-off white male makes this statement as the Phoenix video comes to the national spotlight.
