Democrat Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution demanding what is estimated to be $14 trillion in federal reparations.
Reps. Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman and Barbara Lee unveiled the resolution on Wednesday.
Bush said black people ‘continue to live under slavery’ because of the black-white wealth gap.
Rep. Bowman said, “Trauma lives in the black body.”
“Research has shown this from generation to generation trauma lives in the body and lives in the blood vessels and lives in the DNA and the cells and the mind,” Bowman said, according to the Daily Mail.
The Daily Mail reported:
A number of House Democrats led by Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to reignite a push for federal reparations that would amount to over half the U.S. GDP.
The resolution states that the U.S. has a ‘legal and moral’ obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of black people and calls for $14 trillion to be paid – ‘at least the amount of the black white wealth gap,’ Bush told DailyMail.com during a press conference.
The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.
The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William ‘Sandy’ Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.

Its just a new venue for hatred of blacks. It won’t matter if they get $1000 each. It will fire up hatred more than affirmative action by an exponential amount.
They want this. It is their nutrient, what makes the left grow. Creating hatred and then claiming to defend it.
Pay them in Monopoly money. Or Quatloos.
The whole scheme is incredibly demeaning. Condescending and demeaning.
My Irish ancestors were discrimination victims. Do I send the bill to the English?
My English ancestors were enslaved by William the Conquerer. Can I send the bill to the French?
Bummer. The video is no longer available.
Send the bill to the descendants of the French that were guillotined. That seems fair.
Yeah that’s strange.

If it works I’ll have it put back in that thread
Yeah it asked for an email address. I found one that plays without an email address.

These people are slaves. They have been enslaved by Democrats who figured out that you can’t put them in physical chains and force them to work for you anymore. So the Democrats forged mental chains by destroying the black family and causing dependency on the state and federal governments. Throw in the destruction of the education system. Now that that has been completed it is easy to tell them that they are not responsible for anything and that they are entitled to the fruits of the labor of others. And the slaves will continually vote for their masters forever. A truly evil plan!
I thot you meant the link in my post that you replied to.
That’s the one that asks 4 a email addy.
Trauma lives in the black body of someone that Cori Bush fell on.
The descendants of enslaved Africans already won the jackpot by virtue of being born in America and not Africa.
Demand all you want. It’s not happening. However, there is a part of me that hopes that the race-hustling grifters will make it happen to their detriment. Either way things won’t work out well for them.
