"Respect my authoritay"

Biden Senior Advisor Cedric Richmond just announced a push for Black reparations saying, “we are going to start acting now.” Richmond told “Axios on HBO” that the Biden administration won’t wait for Congress to act. Last March, Biden said “cash payments” for reparations should be looked into (see video below).
Richmond mentioned free college tuition at historically Black colleges and universities as a part of reparations:
“If you start talking about free college tuition to 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.”

Note to future generations:
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR OBSOLETE FARMING EQUIPMENT LYING AROUND.
I’m black. prove me wrong. Now, where’s my $$$ ?
Your wish will soon be granted.
I self identify as transblack; check please.
Black, black, black, black black....genocide was committed on the American Indian.
Asians and Hispanics will love to pay reparations to blacks....
or else!
In a few days Biden won’t know he said this.
Reparations should start and end with the racist, slavery loving, segregationist, KKK backing, black baby exterminating, black family destroying, black neighborhood destroying, black jobs destroying DEMOCRAT PARTY.
No matter what amount they decide to pay out, it will be immediately denounced as not enough.
Sorry, that will never happen here. Our military has no authority to adjudicate and/or to correct stolen elections. Unfortunately.
Unless, one would add, as a pretext to a real, outright, shooting civil war. That's what would happen next. Don't ask my opinion about that though, there are certain lines we don't cross here at FR.
If anyone should pay “reparations” to Black people it’s the left-wing DEMOCRATS. Because they are the ones who continue to keep Black people down with their many give-away government programs, which, in many cases, only suppress motivation for moving forward.
Then what?
They do all of this, and nothing changes, because NOTHING will change, then what?

I guess the SJWs are going to break into banks and just help themselves to all the big Scrooge McDuck piles of gold they imagine are sitting there.
Re: If anyone should pay “reparations” to Black people it’s the left-wing DEMOCRATS. Because they are the ones who continue to keep Black people down...”
I meant, the left-wing Dems should pay out of their own pocket, not the tax payers’!
“Equity” ALWAYS means steal from whitey and give to blackey.
Trump already provided federal funding for HBCUs triple that of what Obama did before Obama penciled it out entirely shortly before leaving office.
No free tuition for anybody.
About two weeks ago, Free Republic has a discussion thread concerning an article about a Harvard health sciences study claiming COVID-19 would have had less of an impact on blacks if they were paid $250k each on reparations. Here’s a link to the article:
https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16838
At the time, I did a quick “back of the envelope” calculation and posted the following comment to gram the issue economically:
“Using a rounded “Black Only” (i.e., racially 100% black; excludes mixed race) population of 44 million and a payout amount of $250 k/person, the amount to implement the doctors’ proposal is $11 trillion, about half the annual GDP of the United States.
The amount required would be less if the payout is capped at $850k per household which is equal to 3.4 persons.
The amount required goes up if the 4 million plus Americans claiming partial black ancestry are included.
To benchmark the amount, $250k is the equivalent of about 4.8 years of the average annual full time salary.”
What the “senior Biden administration advisor” is talking about is far less than the Harvard grad student payout. It would be more difficult to administer and have a myriad of details to work out before even commencing such a program regardless of its merits or efficacy.
Three things to note: 1) No mention of direct, in-hand cash payouts (yet), 2) The stated intention to implement the program by Presidential fiat and without Congressional legislation, and finally, 3) No discussion of funding sources (let alone tax increases).
The Democrat control of Congress is already paper thin. Just how many seats do they think checking the box on this wish list item is going to cost them in the mid-terms and beyond?
