PBS released a new America Reframed documentary of Monday about reparations and the taxpayer-funded network went all in with the bad faith smears, strawmen burning, and stereotyping of those who oppose such measures.

They even found Father Brian Paulson of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States to claim that reparations are something “sacred.” Paulson was shown asking, “What are we up against as we undertake this sacred mission?”

A montage of reparations critics intermingled with reparations supporters to add what the critics really mean then began with Sen. Mitch McConnell claiming, “Yeah, I don’t think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea.”

[Even apart from ‘reparations,’ this is a stupid and circular argument. The same people who claim that people who oppose reparations have ‘white privilege’ would claim that they’d have ‘white privilege’ anyway. One’s ‘whiteness’ isn’t based on a political position, but literally the color of their skin. So what’s the upside to supporting this intensely stupid excuse for massive capital theft? — Ed]
