Herschel Walker, who campaigned for former President Donald Trump last year, said that he opposes reparations for both practical and moral reasons.
The Words Of Herschel Walker
“We use black power to create white guilt. My approach is biblical: how can I ask my Heavenly Father to forgive me if I can’t forgive my brother?” the former Dallas Cowboys star told a House Judiciary Committee subcommittee.
America is the greatest country in the world for me, a melting pot of a lot of great races, a lot of great minds that have come together with different ideas to make Americans the greatest country on Earth. Many have died trying to get into America. No one is dying trying to get out,” he said.
“Reparations, where does the money come from? Does it come from all the other races except the black taxpayers? Who is black? What percentage of black must you be to receive reparations? Do you go to 23andMe or a DNA test to determine the percentage of blackness? Some American ancestors just came to this country 80 years ago; their ancestors wasn’t even here during slavery, some black immigrants weren’t here during slavery, nor their ancestors. Some states didn’t even have slavery.”
