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. Its time. Pay us what you owe us. Our black skin is not a crime, it is the beautiful robe of nation builders.

People joke but we are about ten years away from reparations. Possibly less.
“... Sleeping while black...”
I’ve never owned slaves and I live remotely away from civilization, I don’t own anyone a damn thing because they have dark skin.
Get a damn job and STFU with the victim mentality.
They can have their just deserts here and now, or wait until the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, returns to make things right. Something tells me they don’t want True Justice.
The bill of slavery has been paid.
You have been paid what I owe you. In fact you can expect 1000x more of the same. 1000 x zero is still zero.
OK, I will agree to reparations. But first, we have to subtract certain expenses, such as the cost of extra police, welfare, free housing, free gas and electric, free college, etc. I think we are even.
Plata o plomo?
Okie Dokie,
Bend Over..........
Was it John D. Rockefeller who gave someone like this 7 cents? (Dividing his own wealth by the total world population)?
But our work is unfinished. There is a rallying cry in communities across the nation. Black Lives Matter is a mandate from the people. Its time. Pay us what you owe us. Our black skin is not a crime, it is the beautiful robe of nation builders.
PURE AGITPROP CLAPTRAP!!!!!
They only reparations they will receive will be hot lead traveling at supersonic velocity. Or subsonic for that matter, either way
Ok filthy skank I’ll pay you a bucket of KFC but you have to leave the country and never come back.
But, wrong place, wrong time and don't ya know all of us look alike.
You might look up what happened to the White Mountain Apache US Army Scouts if you want to see what a major injustice looks like.
Will you want that in 38's or 45's?
Extortion.
I’m Slavic - I probably have more slave blood in my background than this non-value-added fool. Request denied - as Schlichter says, embrace the power of “No!”
“and the time has come for people to pay us what you owe us. “
i wonder if 40 acres and a mule in Liberia for each family eligible for “reparations” would cover it?
We don’t owe you anything!! You were not a slave and my family didn’t own any!!!!
