Cedric Richmond, a senior adviser to President Biden, says the administration is “going to start acting now” on reparations for African-Americans.

In an interview with Axios on HBO, Richmond reminded viewers that Biden continues to support House Resolution 40, a piece of legislation resubmitted last year by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) which would create a “reparations commission.”

...

He added, “We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back, and especially African-Americans who were enslaved.”

“We’re going to start acting now,” Richmond said.

America may be closer to reparations than ever before.

And to the anger and resentment reparations will trigger.

It’ll be like a class action lawsuit where every participant gets $15 dollars

They really are going into full insanity mode.

Apparently they know their time is short.

We’ve been paying reparations by a different name since LBJ.

There should be a caveat along with the reparations money - anyone receiving a check has to move to Africa and never come back.

Slavery ended 170 years ago.

I can foresee the SCOTUS ducking this just as they ducked the multiple election integrity cases that were put before them......

They really think their constituents are fools. First, there is no systemic racism. Well, except for Affirmative Action. Luckily that has been judged to be unconstitutional.

But the last part is comical. All “african-americans who were enslaved” have been dead for almost a century.

But when your consituents are slow, you don’t have to be all that precise. No wonder Biden talked about FDR going on TV to calm the nation in 1929 and nobody cared. :)

Nothing insane about it. Can you think of anything more divisive? What they want is a collapse so they can officially dump the constitution and remake it as they see fit.

Their time is not short. It’s just that they have indoctrinated enough of the population that they can openly work towards their goals.

How about pulling your pants up. Don’t walk around holding your dick. Stop thinking having any sense is “acting white” and therefore a bad thing. There are valid reasons many whites are leery of dealing with blacks. Clean up your own backyard then we’ll talk.

Unfortunately, I think it’s just the opposite. They are buying support that will last for at least a generation.

Reparations has been paid do the body count to free them and the money spent to do so.

You give $200,000 to someone who’s never managed money before, you didn’t help them. They’ll be in the exact same spot less than 5 years from now with little to show for it.
