Amid winds of change as America confronts its race issue, a reparations resolution dismissed by many as the stuff of dreams was unanimously passed by a Chicago City Council committee Friday and is scheduled to go before the full council June 17.
The resolution would establish a Chicago Citizens of African Descent Reparations Commission to investigate how one of the most segregated cities in the nation could best make amends for the impact of slavery.
Up for discussion by the Committee on Human Relations Thursday, black and Latino aldermen called the resolution timely and necessary, in the aftermath of the cellphone-recorded killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and protests that grew violent as they unfurled across the nation, triggering a collective discourse over institutional racism.
In November, the city of Evanston made history with groundbreaking legislation establishing a $10 million reparations fund to make amends to that north suburbs black population for historic wrongs traced to racial inequities through a cannabis sales tax.
Today is a great day for the city of Chicago and the nation. The committee voted to address the lingering impact of injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of the Transatlantic Slave Trade on descendants of slavery, said Willie Wilson, the former mayoral candidate and influential businessman who has funded reparations efforts in Chicago and Springfield.

The Speaker has demanded to be heard. Dollars she has appropriated must be spent as appropriated. The President can not with hold the money.
So, sanctuary cities that have effectively seceded from the Union must be totally funded as appropriated
Institute a ‘day of thanks’ to white people from removing the scourge of slavery from the USA.
Black people enslaved black people and still do to this day. Arabs enslaved every race and still do to this day. White people got rid of slavery.
“Out of America” by Keith Richburg.
I read it.
This statement in itself is a felonius falsehood. Better Jobs? Better living conditions? No.
The non-productive elements of the southern states whose welfare structures could not support them were given bus tickets to the northern more progressive states (principally to the cities) where the socialistic welfare budgets would indiscriminately award them a meal ticket and residence in the ghettoized warrens of the inner cities.
Better jobs? The technological infeasibility of the unprepared migrants from the south made them useless in northern mills and factories, jobs which were already filled by the arrivals from the (Caucasian and inherently anti-African) more technically-oriented European immigrants, who themselves were subject to slavish and demeaning conditions until they were assimilated.
Apparently your educational syllabus has not included such works as Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," a metaphor of the original aboriginal conditions from which the Africans escaped by employment as Southern agricultural laborers until emancipation as a consequence of the War of Northern Aggression.
You can take the boy out of the jungle (literally), but you can't take the jungle out of the boy (figurative;y), as we have seen in the ongoing "racist" mobs demanding radical egalitarianism and destabilization of a morals-based society, as defined by Judge Robert H. Bork (slouching towards Gomorrah) and global statesman Daniel Patrick Moynihan (defining deviancy downward).
Great book...I couldn’t remember the name off the top of my head...
He sounded like Muhammed Ali after he came back from the “Rumble in The Jungle” with George Foreman.
(Not a fan of Ali, either)
Or whose genealogy half of which was Caucasian, like the communist radically trained "community organizer" Barack Obama whose background was Stanley Ann Dunham, a white progressive agitator mother and "father" of record African Barack Obama (Sr.) (but more likely the blatantly communist black writer and publisher Frank Marshall Davis). Obama never pushed his whiteness, only his brownization as a political strategy to gain a nearly total capture of the "black" vote.
But as a result of the decriminalization of miscegnation by the Supreme Court in 1967, and the dominance of liberalism in our schools, universities, and seminaries, the nearly complete brownization of the United States is likely to take place within another generation or two, with the history of Caucasianicity being wiped from history or heritage and eradicated from memory concurrently,
taking the production of someone’s work without compensation...sounds almost like...
What would that look like?
Bloody.
Why is that a problem?
I have no doubt about that. I keep seeing posters suggest a divorce, and I’m wondering how they plan to bring that about, what it looks like.
It means you can’t get away from them. Of course, some might say, they can’t get away from you either.
We are watching the rise of the Nazi system all over again.
Itd be fascinating if it werent so devastating.
“What would that look like?”
Three countries. Overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly black, mixed race for those who want to live together. Each country would be free to set up immigration policies to maintain their racial mix.
How many reasons would a sane person have to have to move out of that shithole?
artificially created crisis not being let go to waste
I’m thinking you don’t understand the fundamentals of the host/parasite relationship.
That's called a target rich environment.
I’m thinking we went over this before. :)
The host better shake off the parasite.
