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.

This is BS.
Yes, it’s one of the Marxist black chicks.
What’s Missing in the War on Poverty?
...$23 trillion and counting.
American taxpayers have given at the office.
I'm just using the link as a cite for the amount, BTW.
Sounds like a headline from the Babylon Bee.
She’ll handle the proceeds.
Get over it. The Indians did.
This reparations push by the left is only another insult and trauma to blacks in this country. It’ll never happen, and it will lead to more strife and suffering, and worse, place another bar on the cell door to emancipation from the Democrat plantation.
The Great Bamboozle continues. American blacks need to wake up and finally understand how long the Democrats have kept them in bondage…
They will get it or something close. And then that won’t be enough. It will never end. They will want and want and want.
Any one receiving reparations for the sin of being unequal must be for ever ostracized. America can not cure inequality so long as inferiors exist
Civil wars require a desire to fight. This does not. Just say “no”. If demanded again, just say “hell, no.” If violence is offered over this refusal, do not spread the other cheeks. Instead, do what comes naturally.

You mean all those black bodies strewn across the sidewalks and street corners of our big beautiful blue cities everyday?
Trauma indeed.
Just cut them checks of $100 million apiece and everything will be fine. Then print up enough money to buy expensive homes for the illegal aliens flooding across the wide open borders.
Sure, inflation will be 100% a year, but who cares? We can just keep printing dollars until the end of time.
If “trauma lives in the black body”, it was planted there in the 60s by the “Great Society”!
Trofim Lysenko pioneered this line of thinking. It just doesn't work in reality.
The checks are in the mail!
Blacks SUFFERING in today's world are a result of that DIM-BULB thinking being delivered by Democrat politicians currently in charge.
Racist.
So trauma is what made Bush an ugly soul, eh!
