They need a task force to tell them they’re broke and can’t afford to give away any money to people who were never enslaved.

Where the hell is she going to get the money for this with ALL the money being given to the immigrants, which is EXACTLY WHY this bitch is throwing this out there!! The black community is fed up with the immigrant situation!! Same thing going to n in CA. promising reparations YET we don’t have the money just a bunch of BS to keep the communities on the plantation!!!

Democrat voter drive.

Since San Francisco had to take a powder on reparations - it’s up to others to keep the dream alive. Of course they never have to actually deliver. Just keeping it in the news and on people’s minds is enough.

The need a task force to teach history.

The first thing they need to learn is that any “debt” that might have been owed to negro slaves (and I dispute even that) was paid in full in the 1860s.

I hope this is as successful as it was in San Francisco where it had to be shut down due to budget cuts.

This is all part of the same scheme to destroy America (so, they can “build it back better”)!

Holds WHO back? These “coloreds”, according to the Boston Mayor, walk in anywhere and TAKE everything they want. They have had REPARATIONS many times over.
