Rep. Ayanna Pressley said on the House floor that the Black Lives Matter movement is a “mandate,” and the time has come for people to “pay us what you owe us.”
“I rise today on behalf of every black family that has been robbed of a child,” the Massachusetts congresswoman and member of “the Squad,” said. “On behalf of every family member that has been forced to see their loved one lynched on national television. Driving while black. Jogging while black. Sleeping while black. We have been criminalized for the very way we show up in the world. Under the harsh gaze of far too many, my black body is seen as a threat, always considered armed.”
“Centuries of institutionalized oppression will not be undone overnight, for racism in America is as structural as the marble pillars of this very institution," the Democrat added. "With the power of the pen we must legislate accountability, dismantle these systems, and move in the direction of justice and healing. The Justice in Policing Act is a critical step forward, and I applaud the leadership of the Congressional Black Caucus.”
Pressley continued: “But our work is unfinished. There is a rallying cry in communities across the nation. Black Lives Matter is a mandate from the people. It’s time. Pay us what you owe us. Our black skin is not a crime, it is the beautiful robe of nation builders.”

these terrorists OWE reparations to white Americans
ancestors for freeing slaves, white blacks all colors.
Pressley OWES America 100 trillion dollars,
and it is time to collect from her and Harvard Law School.
We’ve been paying you for over half a century. Drop dead.
It’s time to get reparations behind us, America.
I urge Trump to purchase the Louis Vitton company, so we corner the market for designer handbags.
And then on Juneteenth 2021, we allow inner city youth to smash the glass windows of any Louis Vitton store across America and loot as many handbags as they want.
It think this is only just.
And I vote that the esteemed Rep. Pressley be the master of ceremonies and have the honor of smashing the first Louis Vitton picture window on Boylston Street, Boston with a bottle of stolen champagne.
I’ve already paid. In higher taxes that are taken and given to indolent slobs who hate me. In higher car insurance rates to pay for democrat voters who don’t have insurance. In lost job opportunities. In loss of use of the city, which democrat voters have ruined. In loss of quality of life. In fear of being used to play the knockout “game.”
How about we start a movement where THEY pay US? Or would they really rather be living in mud huts in Africa, barefoot, with no Nike shoes?
Yup.
I don’t owe you anything, bitch!! My ancestors were not in America in the 1800s.
(20 years from now) I'm still thinking...
(300 years from now)I forgot, what was the question you asked my ancestors 300 years ago? 😋
Yes it is... It’s in the Constitution...
I was wondering about that myself...
“Great quote by Sowell.
And yes, we have.”
I agree.
Oh I would love to see that number
More lik 2-5 years before repeat reparations are demanded.
The Zulu Nation of South Africa? Notable for King Shaka, who slaughtered millions of other black Africans - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mfecane ?
But look, there's a statue honoring this mass murderer at Camden Market in LONDON! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka
Seems Shaka was a full-blown nutcase as well. Shaka had made enough enemies among his own people to hasten his demise. It came relatively quickly after the death of his mother Nandi in October 1827, and the devastation caused by Shaka's subsequent erratic behavior. According to Donald Morris, Shaka ordered that no crops should be planted during the following year of mourning, no milk (the basis of the Zulu diet at the time) was to be used, and any woman who became pregnant was to be killed along with her husband. At least 7,000 people who were deemed to be insufficiently grief-stricken were executed, although the killing was not restricted to humans: cows were slaughtered so that their calves would know what losing a mother felt like.
Funny that no BLM activists have rioted over that statue yet, eh?
And if you want to have a good laugh after that, look at the wiki page on the Zulu Kingdom - seems their major civilizational contribution was...beadwork. ROTFLMAO.
Last but not least, every feminist's heart should rejoice for these fine people (at least I'm not aware of any vocal criticism): The women in Zulu society often perform domestic chores such as cleaning, raising children, collect water and firewood, laundry, tend to crops, cooking, and making clothes. Women can be considered as the sole income-earner of the household. A woman's stages of life lead up to the goal of marriage. As a woman approaches puberty, she is known as a tshitshi. A tshitshi reveals her singleness by wearing less clothing. Single women typically do not wear clothing to cover their head, breasts, legs and shoulders. Engaged women wear hairnets to show their marital status to society and married women cover themselves in clothing and headdresses. Also, women are taught to defer to men and treat them with great respect. The women are always bound by a male figure to abide by.
Now what have white Western Cultures to offer in comparison to that? Nothing, I say, nothing at all!
Everyone’s life matters unless you are a Fascist or Communist.
History clearly tells us so.
Useful idiot.
