Wow, Burgess Owens just stunned everyone:
“I used to be a Democrat until I did my history and found out the misery that that party brought to my race… Let’s pay restitution. How about the Democratic Party pay for all the misery brought to my race…” pic.twitter.com/ZXuwncFreV

Retired All-American and Super Bowl champ Burgess Owens rarely agrees with Democrats. However, he wholeheartedly supports the Left’s renewed interest in reparations – with one caveat: make only the Democrats pay for it to atone for their party’s racist past.
Breitbart’s Dylan Gwinn reports:
During stirring testimony in front of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Reparations, Owens blasted the Democratic Party “for all the misery” they’ve brought to blacks; citing everything from the party’s support of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and abortion. [emphasis added]
The testimony was in stark contrast to that of other speakers, such as actor/activist Danny Glover and writer/activist Ta-Nehisi Coates, who were much more favorable about the prospects of the federal government issuing checks for reparations.
In contrast, Owens told the subcommittee, “I used to be a Democrat until I did my history and found out the misery that that party brought to my race.”
His testimony quickly went viral:
Something tells me CNN and the rest of the main stream media will ignore this. https://t.co/gF97mP72nC
