As a Blackman, how do you feel about Kamala Harris's answer to this question?
Am I happy about that answer?
no
Do I understand it as a political calculation?
yes
Should reparations be the ONLY make or break socio-political issue where African Americans are concerned?
no
Past generations of ADOS post civil war probably should have made a stronger case for reparations but they were too busy trying not to get LYNCHED. Unfortunately the farther we move in time away from scene of the crime the harder it is to drum up support for it across the socio-political board.
I've repeatedly asked you what do you think Trump and Musk would respond to this demand from ADOS:
REPARATIONS
President Trump must direct Congress to propose and deliver to his desk a federally led and administered Reparations package that identifies a definite start date with no fixed ending date. President Trump must commit to seeing the Act faithfully executed.
At minimum, the Reparations package should prioritize cash payments totaling $20 trillion to American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS). Together with targeted policies and protections, the redistributive measures will be ongoing and must remain in effect until—at the very least—the wealth gap between white Americans and ADOS is closed.
ETHNIC DESIGNATION & PROTECTION
Taking into account the absence of reparations for chattel slavery, and the presence of the accrued cost of its brutal, 400-year legacy, the descendants of chattel slavery in the U.S. have been made to inherit a singular disadvantage in national life.
The Trump administration, by executive fiat, must designate descendants of chattel slavery in the United States as a protected class. The ethnic designation should accord with the criteria outlined in our presentation to the Office of Management and Budget. Additionally, any future studies or data collection by the U.S. government must disaggregate ADOS from the rest of the American population so that the specific needs of ADOS communities can be accurately quantified and addressed by targeted policies and investments.
President Trump must call on Congress to create an Office of ADOS Affairs that will specifically advocate for the needs of ADOS people. The President must also charge the Office with creating a genealogy registry that will provide resources for ADOS people who wish to trace their ancestry to establish eligibility for slavery Reparations. The Office must also be charged with the collection of information and studies regarding stolen wealth by way of the destruction of Black businesses, stolen intellectual property, predatory lending, and the redlining of housing and insurance policies.
Should Congress fail to act, President Trump must create the Office by executive order.
President Biden must direct Congress to propose and deliver a federally led Reparations package identifying a definite start date with no fixed end date.

you have avoided responding to it.....why?
You didnt vote for trump so dont expect him to deliver on any demands from blacks folks...but didnt trump appeal to the black vote during the campaign season??
President Trump on Monday said he doesn’t believe the federal government will pursue reparations for descendants of slaves, an idea that has gained traction among some Democrats.
“I don’t see it happening,” Trump said in an exclusive interview with The Hill.
{mosads}The House Judiciary Committee held the first hearing on the issue in a decade earlier this month, and a handful of Democratic presidential candidates seeking to challenge Trump in 2020 have broached the idea.
“I think it’s a very unusual thing,” Trump said of the possibility of reparations. “You have a lot of — it’s been a very interesting debate. I don’t see it happening, no.”

this was said at a trump rally during campaign season
Now by YOUR OWN LOGIC you should have as much smoke for that as you have for Biden or Harris considering you didnt vote for ANY of them YET you're silent on it.
you want me to have some kind of emotional response to Harris on her statement yet you dont have any emotional response about trump who is saying that whites are victims of discrimination today.
As a Blackman, how do you feel about
PRESIDENT trump's answer to this question?
