The radical push was unveiled during a congressional race grievance circus hosted by Democrat Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday, May 13, titled “Why We Can’t Wait: Advancing Reparative Justice in Our Lifetime.”

Booker was joined by the usual far-left suspects: Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Summer Lee.

The briefing will highlight the urgent need for federal legislative action to address historical and systemic racial injustices. Key federal legislation includes:

S.40 / H.R. 40 – Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act (Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Ayanna Pressley)

Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Commission Act (Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Jasmine Crockett)

S. 1051 – Historic Greenwood District – Black Wall Street National Monument Establishment Act (Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. James Lankford)

Reparations Now Resolution (Rep. Summer Lee)

G.I. (Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren of the Institutionalized Generation) Restoration Act (Sen. Raphael Warnock)

Restoring Artistic Protection (RAP) Act (Rep. Hank Johnson)

Tulsa-Greenwood Claims Accountability Act (Rep. Hank Johnson)

H.J.Res.67 – Original Slavery Remembrance Month Resolution (Rep. Al Green)

I agree - the democrats should pay reparations for their ancestors owning slaves and their party (D) fighting to keep people enslaved. Take the money out of the DNC and (D) PAC budgets.

I hate to say this, but if this were to pass (it won’t) this country would turn into South Africa real fast.

Yogi’s people already have their reparations. LBJ gave it to them.

It’s an ongoing gift.

Geez, now we’re talking about reparations for slavery again.

People who never owned slaves , and had nothing to do with slavery, are supposed to pay reparations to people who were never slaves.

That’s the logic we are dealing with here.

Wouldn't it be something if…….. the democrat from Pennsylvania that won her primary by less than 1%, becoming the first black woman from Pennsylvania elected to the House……..then goes on to get reparations for people who were never slaves from people who never owned slaves? Whadda Country!

Democrat Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA). I noticed she’s black. Was she a slave?

How about a bill to end protected seats for Blacks.

If these race baiters were not guaranteed their seats they would not be able to spout their hatred.

They would not be able to propose stupid bills like these that are pure political theater aimed at the most venomous constituents in their districts.

A more diverse constituency would force these radicals to the middle or would simply make them nom-competitive in primary races.

These resolutions will never see a floor vote and they know it.

I grew up in Chicago, and my family had to keep moving to try and stay one step ahead of the crime. My high school was a hellhole with riots as a frequent occurrence and kids jumped and beaten in the halls. Reparations are owed the other way around! We are owed for our ruined cities and schools, for the massive crime. Since slavery ended, Whites have suffered at the hands of the “Amish” far more than the reverse.

What a fantastic idea!

Take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to greedy guts who never were slaves!

Talk about fomenting hate. This bankrupt idea is a sure-fire race hatred breeding scheme dreamt in the minds of complete and utter brain-dead fools.

Now, reduce the amount paid by how much welfare that black family has received since the war. Deduct costs for any criminal behavior that family has been found guilty of and all incarceration costs. Then bill them for the final amount they owe the white people and divide that payment into all white people.

I want reparations for having to listen to loud rap/hip-hop “music” while sitting in traffic. It’s usually so loud that it causes body damage to my vehicles.

I’m surprised Hank Johnson doesn’t introduce legislation to stabilize islands under U.S. jurisdiction.
