PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto wants the city council to approve a $2.5 million universal basic income program.
According to our partners at TribLive.com, the money would come from federal COVID-19 pandemic relief funding. Peduto said the program would provide monthly cash payments to Black women. It’s not clear if it is exclusionary or not as the full details of the pilot program have not yet been released.
The program is already being tested in other cities around the country where people get monthly cash payments. According to NPR, randomly selected people living at or below Stockton, California’s average household income are getting $500 cash payments each month for two years. In Jackson, Mississippi, The Washington Post reports a pilot program is giving 20 Black single mothers who live in public housing $1,000 each month for a year with no strings attached.

I believe race-based payments have already been struck down.
“20 Black single mothers who live in public housing $1,000 each month”
So the thousands of dollars they get each month just isn’t enough for them to sit on their lecherous arses? Oh how I despise paying taxes to pay for these people.
I self identify as a single black birthing person.
Blatantly unconstitutional!
Sounds racist and sexist.
Let the lawsuits commence
The price of weaves just went up.
Fortunately, Bike Lane Bill lost his reelection primary. Unfortunately, a conservative will never win in Pittsburgh, where the last Republican mayor was elected in 1930 and left office after conviction for corruption. Another Republican filled in until 1934, and there hasn’t even been a Republican council member since then.
Great idea! If the money is spent on weight loss and birth control.

That’s textbook racism.
For ’tis the sport to have the Wokester
Hoist with his Ze/Hir/Hirs petard;
(with apologies to Bill S)
Didn’t the Great Society do that back in ‘65. Or hasn’t this guy read his history?
Making black women feel like crap
And this is not racist?
The plus side is that liberal wokesters have proven it is politically correct an legal to IDENTIFY both as a woman and as black.
So does that apply to a white woman or man who identifies as a black woman.
They don’t get enough tax dollars already?
# Basically legalizing black female prostitution.
Nope. Just formalizing the arrangement of the state being the father.
# So many things wrong with this...
Indeed. It brought a thought to mind. No wonder black makes are so generally violent and feral. Black women have no use at all for them except to make new dependents.
