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.”

Well, I hate to say it, but to a large extent the reputation has been earned. Notice in her little checklist of "doing X while black" she never mentioned "shooting other blacks while black."
About 800 of my ancestors and relatives fought for the North in the civil war. A large percentage of them died. Our family has already sacrificed for black people and now that sacrifice is not even acknowledged. I refuse to pay reparations for slavery, because my family has already paid a much higher price.
Dear Ms. Pressley,
OK, we’ll happily pay you what you are owed. = ZERO, ZILCH & NOTHING.
When everyone STOPS looking for pie to fall from the sky, get off their tail, stands up on their 2 legs & makes something of themselves, they will succeed.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
“I rise today on behalf of every black family that has been robbed of a child”
Is she talking about the millions of black families who murdered their child through abortion?
I would like to know what the percentage of All blacks is that are really down with Marxism and are so worried about reparations
Do they want the money? Most people want free money. I took that stimulus check. I didn’t need it. I was all for it all of a sudden a week after I wasn’t.
wanting free money and really thinking one deserves reparations are two very different things. It shouldn’t even be being discussed
Sounds like slavery.
Americans are surrendering the country to Blacks the way Europeans are surrendering Europe to Islamists.
Systemic racism does not exist except in the minds of people trying to CON other people out of their hard earned money by making up crap to make others feel guilty-and they don’t even try to be logical.
They want people of a system which emancipated slaves, elected a black man president twice, who never had slaves, and had nothing to do with the slave trade, to pay people who never were slaves.
The USA as a country did not exist when slaves arrived here. We were British colonies under British rule and the Brits had a thriving slave trade business-and the people were not just black. Of course, other countries participated in that besides the Brits.
In addition, Africans sold other Africans that they considered their enemies into slavery.
Like I said no logic - all a CON job.
What is this woman looking for, exactly?
There was another thread here posted about a man who was threatening vandalism to some business unless they paid him money. The business owners said he’d already given money to Black Lives Matter. The man said he didn’t care and repeated his threat. He was arrested for attempted extortion.
Well Planned Parenthood has killed about 20 million of your children, with the support of every Demonrat politician, including you.
Try to make us. We don't owe you shit.
The only thing you're getting from here on out is "precious metals"...
My ancestors didn’t own slaves, so piss off you ugly c...
I’m to the point where I see this kind of spirit in our Congress and I just think...wait till you see what the Lord has prepared in the future 7 years for you. I know I should pray for these folks but it’s hard.
There is some good lessons on radical grace.com under history of the world on the races. http://www.radicalgrace.com/H.htm
Why haven’t white liberals already sold everything they own and given it to “black lives”??? Seems kind of cruel to wait until we get a law passed... it could be years! And justice delayed is justice denied, right?
Wakanda.
Yeah, it's imaginary...
So everything That occurred after George Floyd was just a shakedown. Makes sense
Why haven’t white liberals already sold everything they own and given it to “black lives”???
White liberals are only into giving OPM to their pet causes
