Fox News Contributor: Both Parties Have Stains of Slavery, Neither Side Wants To Take Responsibility

‘Neither side wants to take responsibility’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "Lawrence, what do you make of Congress grappling with reparations?"
JONES: "Well, you know, quite frankly, when I went to watch the hearing, it was kind of frustrating because as you would imagine no party wants to take responsibility for not just what happened when it comes to slavery but what happened after slavery during reconstruction. And so you had a lot of the Republicans saying hey, the Democrats are responsible for this, which is true in some sense, but there is also no accountability for what happened after slavery during reconstruction where many black people were Republicans in fact, and then there were also some Republicans the lily-white Republicans that tried to push black people out of the Republican Party. And there is a stain when it comes to both parties as it relates to slavery as well as reconstruction era civil rights movement. But neither side wants to take responsibility.”
