The White House is “going to start acting now” to address reparations to African Americans, a White House senior adviser said in a new interview, as Congress debates forming a commission to study how the policy could be implemented.
Speaking to “Axios on HBO” in an interview set to air Monday, White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond discussed efforts targeted to helping minority communities.
While the administration may back the study, Richmond added that they were not waiting on Congress.
“We don’t want to wait on a study. We’re going to start acting now,” he told the outlet.
“We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans,” Richmond told the outlet. “[W]e have to do stuff now.”
“If you start talking about free college tuition to [historically black colleges and universities] and you start talking about free community college in Title I and all of those things, I think that you are well on your way,” he continued, noting that a timeline for Congress’ commission was not known.
In legislation first introduced by the late Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) in 1989, and reintroduced repeatedly in years since by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Democratic lawmakers have called for Congress to form a commission to study the issue.
That legislation saw an uptick in interest last summer following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man whose killing by a white police officer sparked nationwide outrage.
Reparations had been debated for decades prior to this past summer, without any results.

Reparations won't solve the problem
AND you thought Obama set back relations decades....if this passes...
Johnson took care of that in 65......................
It still is the OBastard regime. Third term.
We have had about $8 trillion in reparations in the form of the Great Society programs that destroyed the black family.
Some of my family members died in the civil war fighting for the north.
Where does my family, their decedents, get in line for that free money. If it were not for people like them the blacks would not have been freed at that time.
The difference is the freed slaves got 40 acres and a mule, those who fought to free them got nothing.
Just what the hell do you call decades and tens of trillions of dollars of welfare, food stamps, and mollycoddling? The taxpayer is owed reparations.
Slavery ended in 1865. Segregation ended in 1965.
There’s nothing left to “reperate”
The enemy of Amerika will get their Cloward-Piven one way or the other.
I am all for the Democrat party paying reparations to their former slaves.
It still is the OBastard regime. Third term.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brought to you by BOTH parties, same as the original Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Yep - the Democrats are determined to finish off the country - thereby completing O’s obvious mission
“AND you thought Obama set back relations decades....if this passes...”
They control the government, it will pass, and it will lock up the black vote for another 100 years.
Someone once said, “Go ahead and pay ‘reparations’. We’ll have it ALL back in 6 months.”....................
“If you start talking about free college tuition to [historically black colleges and universities] and you start talking about free community college in Title I and all of those things,”
“We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans,” Richmond told the outlet. “[W]e have to do stuff now.”
No one is keeping blacks down except Democrats who are convinced blacks need their help and are incapable of success without it. I think I would find that insulting, but that’s just me...
BUT will lose the white and Asian vote.
This is how Biden flipped GA.
California phone banks told voters in GA if they backed Biden, they would get Reparations.
This was originally Obama-Hillary’s plan until Hillary lost.
The GOP-e will roll over on this.
90% chance this is going to happen.
The beginning of the end of the USA.
Well, now is the time for mass secession.

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
Rest assured if this is paid their children for the next thousand generations will demand their “reparations”.
Reparations were paid in blood from 1861-1865. Over 700,000 dead, tens of thousands of arms, legs, eyes gone. Families and lively hoods destroyed.
