so if you’re black and live in one of these cities, and this goes through and you get your reparations. does this mean that you cannot receive any further reparations, or can you double-dip. and if so, what about those who didn’t get the local reparations?

It’s about time. The British compensated their slave owners for emancipated slaves back in the day. The US never did.

City States are the bastion of American Africanization.

Africanization of cities is the progressive technique of controlling vast numbers of bribed voters adequate to control America outside the city states.

Here’s my real world, real reparations fix to launch the black community into prosperity. Just give them the next 50 years tax free. No federal, state, or local taxes.

You can give them all the money they ask for, but it's not going to change anything.. It's not going to change their culture.. It's not going to help them or us.. Only THEY can change culture.

It doesn't matter if you get on your knees and and beg, and pay them all the bribes they want. In their hearts and minds the hate is fair and justified.. And if someone needs you dead and you don't respond in kind, then your dead..

All black people should immediately move and settle in these Dem run hell holes, drain their resources through reparations and render them bankrupt and impotent.

“11 US Mayors Say They are Committed to Paying Reparations for Slavery”

Are they willing to sacrifice their big salaries to lead the way for this?

I agree. As democrats they should have to pay reparations for slavery, since it was their party that defended it at the cost of hundreds of thousands dead.

While they're at it, they can pay reparations to the Republicans for the same reason, and for attacking those who opposed the Jim Crow and other laws they passed.

So when do I get my reparations?

“Hereโ€™s my real world, real reparations fix to launch the black community into prosperity.”

If they can’t make it with what they’ve already got today then they will never make it. Free stuff isn’t going to change anything.

Doesn't science claim that Homo Sapiens arose in the cradle of mankind in East Africa? Would that make me African-American?

St Louis mayor: Democrat
Tallahassee mayor: Democrat
Providence mayor: Democrat
Austin mayor: Democrat
Durham mayor: Democrat
Asheville mayor: Democrat
Kansas City, MO mayor: Democrat
Sacramento mayor: Democrat
Los Angeles mayor: Democrat
Denver mayor: Democrat
St Paul mayor: Democrat

I know there's a commonality here that escapes me ... but I have a feeling that there's is an all-out effort to slow down the exodus of a particular demographic group from the Democrat/Left/communist Party plantation ...

"Soros and others are funding a network of these 21st century soviets here in the good ole USA.

It was a couple of years ago that someone notice Soros was buying up prosecuting attorneys like they were going out of style...

Now with crime going thru the roof we see that old cause and effect thing.. Too bad we're too "woke" to do anything about.. :(

Sacramento under mayor Steinberg has become one big homeless camp. Trash and graffiti everywhere. The rivers are full of e-coli. Now he he wants to force us to pay reparations to people because of the color of their skin?

Let’s see how this works:

They are taking money from people who never owned slaves and giving it to people who never were slaves, based solely on the color of each person’s skin.

How is this not racist?

The Reparation Checks, actually Direct Deposits, are always paid out on time.

Because the victims of that racism won’t do anything about it?

In all of these reparation postings the creation of Liberia never gets mentioned.
