A slew of democratic candidates hoping to challenge President Donald Trump for the White House spelled out their views on racial justice Friday in progressive campaign pitches to crowds at Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention.
But the predominant themes of their remarks mirrored the NAN's own stated priorities, particularly reforming the criminal justice system with the past and current impacts of racism in America at top of mind. Harris also pledged to double the size of the civil rights division of the Justice Department:"Justice means recognizing domestic terrorism, including white nationalist extremism," which Harris said"should be considered a national security priority."
At the end of many of their speeches, Sharpton asked them point-blank if they supported Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee's legislation in the House that, according to its press release,"seeks to establish a commission to also examine the moral and social implications of slavery."
Slavery is past. Just remember don’t recall. They still think slavery exist in name of politics.
The dems are handing Trump 2020 on a silver platter. It’s a race to be the most ultra progressive. Sane Dems won’t vote for these lunatics. Truly mind boggling.
How about Al Sharpton making some reparations with the IRS?
Go to show which candidates have a spine. zip, zero, nada.
Reparations. Payments by those who were never slave owners to those who were never slaves. So progressive.
Why is Al Sharpton not in jail?
Reparations for what!! Half this country willing to sacrifice their life for freedom. Please my family wasn’t even migrated to this country yet.
Number 1 the president already reformed criminal justice and number 2 this is insulting. They are trying to buy the African American vote.
Trump 2020 sealed.
