This wasn’t a hearing to discuss a true reparations plan, mind you.

From the text of the bill Jackson authored (and a number of other lesser lights in the Democrat Party)…..

To address 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 study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, its subsequent 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.

In other words, a dog-and-pony show and a pity party for Black America, sponsored by the Democrat Party which defended the “peculiar institution” from its formation to the end of the Civil War — and then wholly owned the racial oppression which followed for the next 100 years.
