U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks during a campaign rally at Minden-Tahoe Airport on Saturday in Minden, Nevada. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., compared descendants of enslaved people to criminals on Saturday at a rally for former President Donald Trump, drawing intense backlash for promoting a racist narrative.
In front of an overwhelmingly white crowd in Minden, Nevada, Tuberville criticized Democrats for being"pro-crime." "They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that," Tuberville added."Bull****! They are not owed that.", NAACP President Derrick Johnson called Tuberville's comments"flat out racist, ignorant and utterly sickening."
"His words promote a centuries-old lie about Black people that throughout history has resulted in the most dangerous policies and violent attacks on our community," Johnson added.Over the years, there's been growing support to offer reparations for Black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved as a way to address the lingering effects of slavery.
