Current discussions about “systemic racism” and “equity” ignore the fact that U.S. taxpayers already financed several multi-trillion-dollar programs of reparations beginning more than 50 years ago, an expert on civil rights told Don Lemon on Tuesday night.

The bill for “slavery and Jim Crow” has already been paid, Columbia University English Professor John McWhorter told Lemon, a hardcore believer in “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” But that continuing payment makes up a part of U.S. social history “that we’re beginning to forget.”

CNN’s “Don Lemon Tonight” covered President Joe Biden’s speech on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre Tuesday night, noting that the Biden administration refused to answer whether it supports reparations for its survivors.

  1. Excellent article. There's a culture of victimhood the media and Democrats perpetuate for political reasons and it's festering. Unfortunately they ignore the fact it's all in the black communities and ALL of it is brought on by themselves. Since the 1960's, every law on the books has been transformed or written to the benefit of minorities. It's time they clean up their own house and stop pointing the finger.
