Former Oakland Raider Burgess Owens testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties today on the subject of slavery reparations. Owens, a conservative, has previously spoken out against the idea of reparations, and today, once again, he didn’t mince words:
