Native American tribes; the interned Japanese; Holocaust survivors and their descendants; descendants of 9/11 victims; Iranian hostages; Guamanians; the Downwinders and their descendants; victims of sexual abuse that the FBI failed to address; veterans exposed to burn pits; all of these groups get reparations, have received reparations, or will get them. In some cases, their DESCENDANTS receive reparations. We are told, "Never forget," when when it comes to tragedies done, and the debt owed to other groups. We, Freedmen (Black Americans who are the descendants of those emancipated from American slavery), are the only ones who have not been paid reparations and are told "get over it." We have not, and we will not. Reparations are due, and we will get them just as we abolished slavery and ended Jim Crow. I make this point at the candidate debate.

Yes, the Republican Party of the RECONSTRUCTION ERA were strong supporters of reparations for Freedmen. Reconstruction minded Republicans of today are still for reparations. However, the Republican Party largely is anti-reparations just like the Democratic Party. I call out Republican candidate Duke Buckner on this point. He says we should all just move on and treat all people equally. The American federal government has done reparations for many groups and still does today. They have not done so for Freedmen. Until they do it for us, we can NEVER be treated the same.

Nick seems to think that illegal immigrants are Black Americans (Freedmen)'s friends (even though history shows that many are NOT), and if you are against illegal immigration then you are tap dancing for the "white people" and want to win over bigots. I shoot ALL of that down in the video below. See for yourself.

As you know, I feel all candidates should be prepared to make the case as to why they would be best to represent the people. That is why I do a lot of public appearances. As a result, my campaign team has been working to set up what may very well be the first general election debate in my district since 1996! I am a fair person who believes in doing what is right, so I have been doing my best to make sure all candidates are invited. Four of us have already agreed. We are trying to make contact with the independent candidate. We reached out to Clyburn's team, and to my BIG SURPRISE, they responded and said the request is "under review." I honestly was not expecting this. Do yall think Clyburn will appear for the debate, defend his long record, and make the case for why he should be reelected for the 32nd time?

No, the federal government does NOT rely on our tax dollars for spending. They show us that all the time when they spend hundreds of TRILLIONS of dollars on conflicts, corporate bailouts, the military, illegal immigrants, foreign aide, vaccines, etc. You do NOTHING when they do that. Keep that SAME approach for reparations for Black Americans (Freedmen). Yes, they have lied to us. I am against the federal wage tax for the very same reason. The federal government relies on our participation in the economy to generate goods. The USA is a monetary sovereign. It can and DOES generate as much money as it needs. This has been confirmed by many government officials from President Trump to chairs of the Federal Reserve and is shown time and time again. The government can do massive spending, such as paying their DEBTS and have a very low inflation rate, Obama and Trump both showed that. My reparations plan accounts for inflation by using federal bonds that pay the amount owed in installments over a period of time. I explain this all on Gullah People's Radio in Beaufort.

When asked from where the money will come for reparations, respond that it will come from the federal government as does the money for all of the other times our government has done reparations, the trillions of dollars it has spent in corporate bailouts, on illegal immigrants, on foreign aid, on the military budget, on wars, on debt forgiveness, etc. Do NOT let them stomp you with that question! Yall, we HAVE to understand that most of us have been DELIBERATELY miseducated. The federal government is NOT financed by taxes. The US is a monetary sovereign. Once it accounts for inflation, it can and DOES generate as much money as it needs. See my interview with NewsMax from last year during the spring of 2023.

I was doing some canvassing in Charleston. I went to eat in the popular, black owned Gullah-Geechee restaurant, Hannibal's Kitchen, and to my surprise, people noticed me. Some had received my flyers, some had received text messages, some had heard me speak, some saw my commercials, and some watched the New Black Media. One of my supporters, Gail, wanted me to give a speech. It was very impromptu, but well received. The point is that our work is being SEEN. Whether this translates to votes, who knows, but we are getting the message out there, and that is how movements KEEP moving! *This is not an endorsement from Hannibals, so James Clyburn, please do not go after them out of vindictiveness and spitefulness.*

I said policies SPECIFIC to Freedmen, Black Americans Who Are Descendants Of Emancipated People. There has been ZERO. Secondly, wealth grew for ALL racial groups, so Black Americans STILL remain to the bottom. According to that same report, Black Americans have about $16.00 for every $100.00 a white American has. If YOU find that cause for celebration, your bar is lower than hell! We can not celebrate that, just like people like YOU were saying we could not celebrate Trump having a historically low level of black poverty and high income. Remember that? Cancer alley, contaminated water, sewage spillover, and more are all happening in many black communities as I tweet this. My native South Carolina has majority black communities that have some of the most toxic water in AMERICA, so who has been saying we have seen so many benefits from this Build Back Better. The wealth gap actually WIDENED according to the same study you are citing, so tell the WHOLE story! The majority of Black Americans (#Freedmen) do not attend universities, and even when we do and graduate, we still have less wealth, on average, than a white, male high school dropout. Many HBCU students are not even Black Americans (#Freedmen) on some campuses, and HBCUs are still horrifically underfunded. Another study shows that Black Americans (#Freedmen) have made no progress at all, and the rate of black home ownership has actually STAGNATED. Your bar is in HELL. My bar for us is where we should have been a LONG time ago. Also, I am not "on the right," I am just right.
