A House Democrat plans to introduce a resolution calling for the U.S. to spend trillions of dollars on reparations for Black Americans this week.


quote:

Reparations Now Resolution on Thursday. Lee met with other lawmakers and activists on Capitol Hill on Tuesday at an event titled "Why We Can’t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime." She argues that reparations are a "moral and legal obligation" for Americans.

"This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it," said Lee.

"Their real intention is to build up whatever comes next in their image," she said, referring to the Trump administration, "and we better fight like hell to make sure that we’re building it in our image."


quote:

"We are in a moment of anti-Blackness on steroids and we refuse to be silent," Pressley said at the time. "We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice."


So much entitlement that it’s completely replaced their self-awareness. At a time when (dare I say) most Americans are sick and tired of race (always black virtue and white villainy) being shoved down our throats, what do black, Dem leaders do? Double down hard on calls for reparations.

I'll support them getting a one-time payment of $75,000 each, but they had to revoke their United States citizenship and move to Africa. With that kind of money there, they can be kangz n' shite.

Sure, as long as if you take the reparations you have to move back to Africa.

You fricks created this anti-black movement by cranking up the blackness to 100. You are putting the blackness on steroids like it's mid 90s MLB.

We should just skip to the part where black people in America get to own white people. Because that's really where they are trying to drive this bus.

We know free money doesn't fix the problem or welfare would have ended it decades ago.

As long as racial division can be used to get stupid people elected it aint never going to stop.

Yall have had tens of thousands of years to shape Africa. Most of that continent still doesn't even have permanent shelter. I think we should let a group with a bit better track record take back over for a bit...

I could be talked into supporting a trillion dollar fund for those who are willing to give up citizenship and leave.

Every taker makes the pie smaller. Would be interesting to see what dollar amount the black community all of a sudden decides that they actually have it better here.

I’m just wondering what, exactly, they’re seeking reparations for?

There’s not a black person alive today who hasn’t had it way better than black people had it in the past.

I would support putting voluntary box on tax returns or W2s where people can elect to donate a portion of their earning to a reparations fund. It must be done anonymous. The fund must be managed publicly.

I sure all the billionaires like soros, gates, Mr Fight the Oligarchy and everyone else trying to control public policy will keep it well funded.

Most of the arguments I've seen for reparations don't call for payments to individuals. They call for investment into black communities, which looks like infrastructure, after school programs, etc.

ETA: They also call for them to paid for the people/institutions who accumulated big wealth from slavery, like JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, NY Life Insurance and Aetna.
