“So, at this point, there are plenty of white people in America who are descended from slaves,” Carlson said. “There are plenty of Black people in America who are descended from slave owners. That’s just true.”

So, the state will have to certify the racial purity of its citizens in order to send them money. That’s gonna have to happen.

“Do we really want to go there?” he asked. “Do we really want to do that? Amazingly, liberals really do.”
