Reparations for Slavery? Kamala Harris Says Yes, but the American People Say H*LL NO!

Do you know why black Americans have heart disease and high blood pressure? Racism (obviously).
What, you were thinking diet and exercise? Don’t be so naïve! Racism — the answer is always racism.
“You can look at the issue of untreated and undiagnosed trauma,” explained Kamala Harris to NPR host Steve Inskeep. “African Americans have higher rates of heart disease and high blood pressure. …And trauma, undiagnosed and untreated, leads to physiological outcomes.”
In a Harris-controlled White House, reparations for slavery won’t just be a moral issue, a legal issue, or even a civil issue — it’ll be classified under healthcare.
And what role does Harris believe the federal government should have in healthcare? All you need to know is that then-Sen. Harris was the cosponsor of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ ultra-radical “Medicare for all” bill. As Stan Lee used to say, “‘Nuff said.”
In politics, there’s the left, there’s the middle, and there’s the right. Harris’s position isn’t just to the left; it’s so far to the left that even liberal Democrats were taken aback. “I don’t want to guess what [Harris is] thinking but that is a massive part of the American economy,” said Sen. Dick Durbin. “It would take a mighty transition to move from where we are to that.”
But Harris disagreed. “I believe the solution — and I actually feel very strongly about this — is that we need to have Medicare-for-all,” she replied when CNN host Jake Tapper asked if she would eliminate private health insurance. “That’s just the bottom line.”
