Rep. Jasmine Crockett Democrat from Texas suggested that black people should be exempt from taxes. Is this fair?

Here's who thought this is what went down: Fox News, and The National Review, and you.

In reality, this is not what happened. This was a "gab" session on a “The Black Lawyers Podcast” last week..

In response to some random thought, about Blacks be paid some sort of reparation through tax exemptions, she said that someone, somewhere, suggested that, and added:

““I don’t know that that’s … necessarily a bad idea, One of the things they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time because … that puts money back in your pocket,” Crockett told host J. Carter.

But they also discussed that this is not going to be help for a lot of black families, because they don't make enough money to qualify.

Not to mention that Texas does not have a state income tax.
