Walker testified as a witness against the proposal, citing both his faith and the impracticality of issuing reparations.
“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?” Walker asked as he began his statement.
“I never want to put any one religion down; my religion teaches togetherness. Reparations teach separation,” he said, noting that slavery ended 130 years ago and adding that history is not properly taught in school.
America, Walker said, is the “greatest country in the world,” describing it as a “melting pot of a lot of great races, a lot of great minds that have come together with different ideas to make American the greatest country on earth.”
“Many have died trying to get into America. No one’s dying trying to get out,” he said before posing questions on the practicality of issuing reparations.
“Reparations — where would the money come from? Does it come from all the other races except the black taxpayers?” he asked. “What percentage of black must you be to receive reparation? Do you go to 23andMe or DNA test to determine the percentage of blackness?”
“Some American ancestors just came to their country 80 years ago,” he said, noting that their ancestors were not even in America during slavery. “Some black immigrants weren’t here during slavery, nor their ancestors. Some states didn’t even have slavery.”
“We as black Americans have always wanted what the Constitution stated: All men, black white and today Latino, Asian, Italian, etcetera, should be guaranteed” the rights of “life freedom and the pursuit of happiness.”
“Years later after slavery ended, Dr. King said, the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation was a great beacon of light but one hundred years later, we’re still not free because of segregation and discrimination. Today, I call that reparation,” Walker continued.
