DNC 2024 Platform Calls for Slavery Reparations

“Democrats support Congress executing a study of reparations and the continuing impacts of slavery.”

Every crazy leftist idea, from transgenderism to land acknowledgements to slavery reparations only needs 30 years to become party dogma.

And the DNC 2024 platform has all three.

I’ve already written about land acknowledgements, but slavery reparations shows up along with a push for equity.

Under the heading of ‘Racial Equity’, the DNC 2024 platform claims that “we have a long way to go to realize the full promise of America, but we are committed as a party to continuing the work to build a nation where all people are not only created equal, but treated equally throughout their lives. To determine how best to right historical wrongs, Democrats support Congress executing a study of reparations and the continuing impacts of slavery.”

This is an explicit endorsement of ‘equity’ and a slap at the Declaration of Independence’s assertion that all men are created equal.

Instead, it’s the role of the government to make everyone equal at all times throughout their entire lives. This is Harrison Bergeron stuff.

Topping that off is the assertion that slavery, which was abolished over 150 years ago, is still an issue today.

After multiple Dem state governments embraced a study of slavery reparations, it’s now an official part of the party’s 2024 platform.
