The panel in charge of drawing up New York's plans for slavery reparations is under fire after it emerged that members attacked black senator Tim Scott, blamed white people for climate change and slammed Israel within days of October 7.
Governor Kathy Hochul urged New Yorkers 'not to excuse' the state's role in slavery as she set up the task force at the end of last year.
But she is facing calls to fire panelist Ron Daniels after he labelled Scott 'Uncle Tim' and branded him a front man for white supremacy.
'Uncle Tim' Scott, Who Picked Cotton On the Plantation, Is 'Still On the Plantation,' Daniels described the black Republican in a 2021 tweet.
'Picked to Be the 'Black Face' To Suppress/Black Power/Black Freedom On Behalf of White Supremacy/White Power and That's 'The Cotton Picking Truth' #BewareofUncleTim.'
Daniels, the founder and president of the Institute of the Black World 21st Century, was one of three panel members nominated by state Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie.
'White Folks Messed Up the Weather = Black Folks Save the Planet,' Daniels tweeted three years ago.
'With silence, comes complacency. No Homeland. No Peace. No Justice, No Peace in Israel,' he tweeted in October last year above a picture of a large Palestinian flag.
'There will never be peace in Israel until the Palestinians have a home. Military force will quench the thirst of the Palestinian people for justice. No Homeland, No Peace!'
Lurie Daniel Favors, another of Heastie's appointments, has been virulent in her calls to defund the police, tweeting in 2019: 'Police all across the country are literally proving *daily* why #DefundThePolice is necessary.
'I'm old enough to remember summa y'all claiming activists were going too far,' the executive director of the Center for Law and Social Justice...

Envy, jealousy, vanity, the pronouncements come from people who hate themselves, therefore if anybody wants to try to be different from them they hate them too. There’s a whole psychology behind this pathological psychosis.
I think most people who aspire to get out of their living condition such as the ghetto really just want to get out of the ghetto and get on with a life and has some promise attached to it. If it’s through hard work that’s just the way it has to be. Those who object are still slaves to the government, and those who cheer them on and pay the taxes are hostages to that same government thus are part of the problem as well.
Amen
In today’s world they’re everywhere because that’s what they’re taught. This all started under Obama and has continually gotten worse.
The only way to stop it is an abrupt change by a better government and a massive change in the educational system where common sense prevails. End all social programs, DEI and woke BS, prosecute and incarcerate criminals and support merit based promotions.
The only way to get ahead in life is hard work not hand outs.
The $trillions spent on anti poverty programs are enough “reparations.”
From under the prison. They bred.
We might also let the Democrats prove the “climate change” since they seem to be the ones constantly pressing the point. Those who insist there is “climate change” should move to where the climate is perfect...if they can show where that is. It would be cheaper to fund their moves than to change the climate.
Like in how they were a non-slave state in the Union that fought against the south and was part of the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape to Canada??????
Anyone who lost a family member in the Civil War from the Union owes no more in *reparations*. They already paid.
What a stinking racist Daniels is.
All we hear about from the left is how great rappers, DEI prosecutors, and welfare dependent feral blacks are. They never mention men like Ben Carson, Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas who earned their positions by hard work intelligence and initiative.
There needs to be someone in the black community that can lead a movement that inspires American blacks to see the path to failure that is DEI, countless organizations promoting racism against others, and this notion that they are owed anything from whites or due to slavery. Someone that can lead a cultural change of competing on skill, education, entrepreneurship, traditional values, pride in our communities and country, etc. Striving for the best for you family.
Until then… the Leftists will gladly hold you down on their plantation. Forever. Conservatives don’t want or need this, the Left does.
For example, Melvin, a late friend of mine in Tallahassee was a staunchly conservative Korean War veteran. Through a part-time job in retirement, he got to know several black small businessmen well and became friends with them. Since Melvin missed the Southern blue collar cooking he grew up on, they invited him to their Saturday morning breakfast at the soul food bistro in the heart of Tallahassee's traditional black commercial district.
Melvin got stares that day when he first walked in and was the only white person in the place. He was served though with pleasantries and smiles at the table with his black friends. Their topic of conservation was how bad Obama was. Welcomed as a regular after that, Melvin was awarded by his friends and proudly wore a ball cap with the slogan "Honorary Black Man."
As Margaret Thatcher used to say, "The facts of life are conservative." As with most Americans, the facts of life anchor most black people to conservative values in their own lives. Unfortunately, as on college campuses, the tug of Leftist and Democrat party propaganda draws the majority of blacks to the Left politically.
Nevertheless, the handful of conservative blacks we know about and admire are actually better grounded in the experience of ordinary black people than the racial grievance types whom we constantly hear about in the news media and from Democratic politics.
To Trump's great credit, his unusual personality, his rhetoric, issue choice, and success as president now give him a strong appeal to many conservative blacks and other minorities and to the white working class. The 2024 election may well be a realignment election in which a new Republican Party emerges and becomes dominant based on voters whom Trump has brought into the fold. The GOP country club is about to have the doors blown open.
The 10 million Haiti population that is on its way over to the USA should all go to NYC where they can collect their reparations.
Anyone getting public assistance should not be able to vote.
It’s too much a conflict of interest.
How many whites died fighting about slavery? Over 700.000.
Tens of thousands lost arms, legs, eyes, homes, families.
The guilt of slavery has been paid in full, in blood.
Blamed ‘white folk’ is a warning label for it’s a scam.
Ever notice when blacks visit Africa they weep at the slave pens, howl at the “Gate of No Return” moan and groan about the past.
But when the vacation is done they rush to the airplanes, sit in air conditioned comfort and fly back to the “racis” country they claim to hate.
Hochul is hell bent for leather stupid. Her liberalism has destroyed what few brain cells she was born with. She is like someone in the pilot’s seat of an airplane with the stick pointed straight forward, the earth coming up very fast. With each succeeding news story featuring her name, I am aghast all over again at her sheer stupidity. Appointing a “panel” for “reparations”? More like setting up a panel of institutionalized grifters.
Why don’t we get one of the solid red states with minimal black population (Alaska?) to setup a “reparations committee” of all white people and issue a report like “You ain’t getting jack sh*t!
most of these whinny morons if askd which tribe are you a decendent of could not answer the question, or just yell at you for asking
