*The highest ranking black person in congress James Clyburn is in hot water with black folks after his remarks stating reparations are impossible on Tuesday.
Across Twitter black America and #ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) followers that made reparations a national talking point for Democratic Presidential Candidates voiced their displeasure:
#ados should be livid with @WhipClyburn, this is ignorance: “I think pure reparations would be impossible to implement,” said Clyburn, D-Columbia – SC’s Clyburn states reparations unable to address racial inequality. @SandyDarity https://t.co/LpZFAWaVle

CPAC ATTRACTS THE GOP’S WORST ELEMENTS — BUT VAN JONES STILL WENT
Who is in Clyburns district in SC that #ados can trust to primary him and get him out of office. These gatekeepers need to be sent home to retire and enjoy the rest of their lives, he has been in office too long.
