Encouraging if you aren't black and you make under 100k
When asked by theGrio to confirm her support and elaborate on implementing reparations, Sen. Harris responded:
“We had over 200 years of slavery. We had Jim Crow for almost a century. We had legalized discrimination, segregation… We have to recognize that everybody did not start out on an equal footing in this country and in particular Black people have not.
“We have got to do something about that and give folks a lift up. That’s why for example I’m proposing the LIFT Act: Give people (all people, not just blacks) who are making $100,000 or less as a family a tax credit, which will benefit and uplift 60 percent of Black families who are in poverty,” she explained.
LIFT Act is considered to be a wide-sweeping tax plan and cash income program, which on average will provide an additional $500 monthly to working families and single people. It would not impact those who aren’t working and earning income.
This is pretty cool
A 6 figure nicca (every dude on the coli) would get nothing. the descendents of slave owners and people who have been the beneficiaries of systemic racism would get $500 a month if they make under 100k. Blacks who are unemployed would get nothing
“So I’m not gonna sit here and say I’m gonna do something that’s only gonna benefit Black people. No"
I actually like the plan on it's own In a non reparations discussion.....AFTER we've committed to paying the people who descend from the slaves who built this country....but this is the response we get from a woman that black people are supposed to be excited about?
Where the REAL black women with 2 black parents and a black partner at?
