Chicago [white] woman, 73, finishes 40-day hunger strike for slavery reparations

“This is phase one, and I’m not going away.”

A 73-year-old white woman has completed a 40-day hunger strike for slavery reparations to Foundational Black Americans (FBA).

Rachelle Zola lost 23 pounds and drank only water, Pedialyte, and bone broth during the last two days of the fast, as reported by the Chicago Tribune. She documented the journey on her YouTube channel.

Zola’s hunger strike was her way of supporting H.R. 40, a bill that would establish a federal commission to hold hearings on slavery and discrimination and recommend remedies. The bill was first introduced more than 30 years ago.

“My question to myself was, am I willing to die for this? And it became ‘yes’ because of all of the [Black and brown] people I know,” Zola said. “Am I willing to die for my brothers and my sisters when there’s an injustice? The answer is yes.”

Zola’s pro-Black mission began in 2019 when she traveled to Chicago from Tucson to meet and connect with Black and brown people. She attended church meetings and workshops and “occupied spaces” with anyone willing to discuss the Black experience. Zola said her goal was to listen, learn and attract the attention of other white people to support a reparations bill.

Zola is specifically calling for Congress to pass HR 40.

Funny, hemorrhoids say the same thing but that doesn’t mean you want them around.

Jeez, we really need her to lecture us about all of our shortcomings. ?

yet another sanctimonious white woman, assuming she identifies as a white woman, feels the need to push reparations as part of proving how liberal she is?

Yes, the white naturalist learned that Chicago is where you can most easily find them in their natural habitat.
