NYC Council pass bill to create task force to study reparations for black residents
City lawmakers passed a controversial bill Thursday to create a reparations task force in New York City — which could lead to proposals to spend billions in taxpayer money as compensation for slavery and racial injustice.

“This is a matter of morality and justice, equality and equity,” Louis said.

Exactly, it was the demonrat party that was responsible for slavery, so let all the demonrats pay up.
That cannot be her real name!
One of the writers is named Anneta Bhole.
Okay...
Which descendants pay?
They could use the 1864 census of slave holders, look for their descendants now, and make them pay, but only a small percentage of whites Christians then owned slaves with it being other religions people in the US owning up to 44% of slaves.
Will black people who descendants of slave owners havd to pay?
They will pay blacks millions to ‘study the problem’. There’s your reparations.
““monumental step” to pay back “injustices that have plagued our society for centuries.””
Nothing less than lebenty zillion dollars per person will do.
LMAO!!!! “I need a butthole”. Well the NY Post has been using leftist lunatics to write their articles
If this were to ever come to fruition inner city black people would become extinct. They murder each other over tennis shoes, can you imagine the carnage if inner city black people thought that everyone around them was carrying wads of cash?
Is the money going to come only from NYC taxpayers?
Could be worse, she could be Anneta Ahole.
LOL. Black popo gonna get dey money, just as Fed.gov is going bankrupt.
Would obama and kamala get reparations? Both their families owned slaves. Mine didn’t.
And they reeeeeally mean it this time!
If I were a descendant of a union soldier in the war of Northern aggression, I would be pissed off.
Didn’t Dave Chapelle do this skit?
They’re trying to appease blacks before the election for the votes.
IOW, they are buying black’s votes once again.
Just in time for the election!
No, that's just silly and dishonest.
Neither major party was "responsible" for slavery. Neither party was around when colonists began importing slaves into North America.
The Democratic Party was founded in 1828, long after slavery was an established fact.
