Wrongfully Imprisoned Black Men Don't Get Anything

[00:00:00]Mr. President, the Justice Department has this new fund that was announced today, $1.7 billion.

[00:00:07]Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6th Well, it's been very well received, I have to tell you. I know very little about it. I wasn't involved in in the whole creation of it and and the negotiation, but this is reimbursing people that were horribly treated, horribly treated. It's anti-weaponization. They've been weaponized.

[00:00:28]They've been in some cases imprisoned wrongly. They paid legal fees that they didn't have. They've gone bankrupt.

[00:00:34]Their lives have been destroyed.

[00:00:36]And they turn out to be right. I mean, it's was a terrible period of time in the history of our country.

[00:00:41]And they worked on it. I know the Justice Department it's really been working on it very hard. There's been numerous other occasions over the years where things like this have been done, but these were people that were weaponized and really treated brutally by a system that was so corrupt with corrupt people running it.

[00:00:59]And they getting reimbursed for their legal fees and the other things that they had to suffer. Yeah, please.

[00:01:06]Daniel, go ahead.

[00:01:06]>> [laughter] >> Call Call it Daniel, please.

[00:01:10]So, what about the reparations of those black men that were wrongfully sentenced and imprisoned for crimes they did not commit?

[00:01:19]But then again, why would I expect them to get reparations to any of those individuals because if I remember within the last few months or so America along with Israel and Argentina voted that slavery was not a crime against humanity.

[00:01:38]But here we are having a discussion on as to who or what deserves reparations.

[00:01:44]And we act as if it's only just white people those who participated in the insurrection act on January 6th that deserve reparations.

[00:01:56]Make that all make sense.
