Biden senior adviser says White House will start acting on reparations ‘now’
NY Post ^ | March 1, 2021 | Emily Jacobs

The White House is “going to start acting now” to address reparations to African Americans, a White House senior adviser said in a new interview, as Congress debates forming a commission to study how the policy could be implemented.

Speaking to “Axios on HBO” in an interview set to air Monday, White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond discussed efforts targeted to helping minority communities.

While the administration may back the study, Richmond added that they were not waiting on Congress.

“We don’t want to wait on a study. We’re going to start acting now,” he told the outlet.

“We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans,” Richmond told the outlet. “[W]e have to do stuff now.”

“If you start talking about free college tuition to [historically black colleges and universities] and you start talking about free community college in Title I and all of those things, I think that you are well on your way,” he continued, noting that a timeline for Congress’ commission was not known.

In legislation first introduced by the late Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) in 1989, and reintroduced repeatedly in years since by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Democratic lawmakers have called for Congress to form a commission to study the issue.

That legislation saw an uptick in interest last summer following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man whose killing by a white police officer sparked nationwide outrage.

Reparations had been debated for decades prior to this past summer, without any results.

This is essentially a dhimmi tax with some nade up standards for who gets it and who pays it. Do LBGQTUVWMNOP’s get “reparations”? How about MS13 members? How about community “organizers”? This is a recipe to complete the destruction of a nation.

Libtard morons. Reparations for exactly what? My distant ancestors were slaves in Egypt. Should I hold out my hand for "reparations" to Egypt today? Should U.S. citizens whose ancestors arrived well after slavery was ended in the U.S. have to pay "reparations"? Should someone with 1/164th black genes receive "reparations"?

You have a pandemic going, you have thousands of illegals coming in the southern border, you have high unemployment, and THIS is what you libtard morons decide is important? Libtards ruin whatever they touch.

>This is how Biden flipped GA.
California phone banks told voters in GA if they backed Biden, they would get Reparation<

But I thought blacks were a minority, like 17% of the population. How did that get them enough votes to win the state?

Are we looking at 10 trillion this year? That should collapse the dollar and the economy in a rush.

He’d still be alive if he had the ability to obey the law.

“BUT will lose the white and Asian vote.”

Uh, no. Soccer moms will be so proud, they’ll have suburban whites, college educated of all races, and Hispanics.

They might lose some of the Asian vote, but that’s not as big of a number. Dems are very good at election math. And cheating.

They’re already getting everything free and blaming their failures on Whitey.
Siphoning off Whitey’s money and giving it to non-Whitey will not result in non-Whitey being appeased. Non-Whitey will hate Whitey even more, since the newfound money will make him realize his failures, and his conditioned response will make him blame Whitey.

The BLM riots last summer were to condition us to accept the forthcoming “reparations.” Normal people have been silenced and are being forced to accept this theft. Will the American public, weary after 1 year of covid panic, be able to resist the illegal and unconstitutional transfer of money?

What about blacks who emigrated here after 1865, or blacks whose ancestors lived in the North? What about blacks who are reasonably well-off, or even rich?

This is all part of the left’s plan to create as many “white supremacists” as possible. They are trying to create a race war.

The only systemic racism in this country is called "Affirmative Action", more aptly named "Affirmative Racism", and it's forced on its victims of all races by illegitimate laws.

Cloward-Piven Strategy (CPS)

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven — both longtime members of the Democratic Socialists of America, where Piven today is an honorary chair — the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse. ...”

Not excusing slavery but If it were not for that institution most American blacks living today would never have been born. Their ancestors never would have met to procreate. We are all sum totals of those who came before.
