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.

Who decides? I seem to recall that only about 5% are directly related to slaves today. Considering colonies were pretty far down the scale for slaves brought here.... IIRC less than a half million. Just sayin’.
Look for EVERY minority group in America coming up with some BS reason why they should have reparations as well.
Where the hell does it end?
When do the payments stop? How many generations out will be paid for this?
When it comes to imposing & expanding tyranny, communists never quit... Never slow down... Never back down...
A columnist whose name slips my memory said reparations should amount to the difference between the average income of American blacks and the average income of African blacks, which is what American blacks would have earned if their ancestors had remained there. On that basis African Americans owe the U.S. billions of dollars.
Reparations should start and end with the racist, slavery loving, segregationist, KKK backing, black baby exterminating, black family destroying, black neighborhood destroying, black jobs destroying DEMOCRAT PARTY.
I might actually be for this if they put in there that if one has ever received welfare, they are NOT entitled to reparations.
Plus, the Democrat Party has to empty their coffers to put into the reparations kitty.
Can you imagine the black on black crime wave that we’ll see once we start handing out checks. It will be a disaster that once again is all our fault.
Yes, this is a win/win for them. When normal people resist this insanity, it bolsters their claim of white supremacy behind every bush and tree.
A democrat plan for a set up on the next election we can’t give you a job so here’s some money.
Ministry of Bribes nods.
Bkmk
We have had about $8 trillion in reparations in the form of the Great Society programs that destroyed the black family.

Hey, you stole my line!
Seriously, that truth is what I have always said about reparations. I think it might be more like 30 trillion from some estimates.
They’ve already been paid, and all it did was create a broken, dysfunctional, violent, and immoral sub culture. Now they want us to give more? For what, so they can hate us more and be even more destructive?
If these useless clowns continue to pour gas on this fire, there will be racism like no-one has ever imagined.
These guys can’t even get $2K checks out and they want to work on reparations.
And from Alinsky’s rile for radicals”
3. Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
After $1.9 T......naaaaah
Will Obama’s white half pay reparations to his black half?
Embrace the SUCK!
Richmond, Pretendesident wasn’t agreeing to your reparations plan, he was nodding his head to the Lawrence Welk they were playing into his earpiece.
