Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, whose city is suffering from homelessness, economic disruption, and drought, launched a nationwide commission on slavery reparations on Friday, Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity (MORE).
Garcetti appeared with several urban mayors via streaming video as the federal government observed Juneteenth for the first time as a public holiday (since June 19 is on Saturday this year).

Pandering this way isn’t going to make his city any sounder, saner, or safer.
In fact, quite the opposite is likely.
It will only encourage more shakedowns.
Garcetti? Hmmm Sounds like a white supremacist (Mexican and Irish) Let’s start with his assets.

I would suggest MAPS instead - Mayors Are Pandering Shamelessly.
Geez Louise. Reparations for slavery is being pushed by these imbeciles.
The conditions of so many big cities are so bad, in so many ways. But these mayors deem that it is important to spend their time and effort, and eventually money, on reparations for slavery, to the exclusion of dealing with the problems of their cities.
okay then........
This bozo might want to worry a bit more about the lack of safety in his city, the mass filthy homeless encampments in Venice, the failure of his schools and a myriad of other practical problems.
Anybody who owned slaves should be made to pay reparations...where do we find one?
Good points. Why is reparations for slavery deemed to be so important, when his city has so many other problems?
And can we ask, who pays and how does reparations for slavery get paid? Does LA even have a balanced budget? Is he going to budget for slave reparations and cut other spending? What’s the plan here?
Someone should explain there was never slavery in L.A. when it was part of the U.S. When California was part of Spain and then Mexico, there was slavery (up until 1829). So reparations in California should only be paid for by the descendants of Mexican Latinx. Maybe there can be a separate tax assessment on them.
I'm second generation American. How do I file my reparation exemption?
So, unless this twit wakes up to the reality of things, I would like my Garcetti to start mailing me my checks as soon as possible.
...blacks owe non-blacks in the US approximately $600 billion dollars per year for the 157 years they have been freed...
There...fixed.
I think every one of those mayors needs to be locked up for being involved in the slave trade back in the seventeen and “Juneteen” hundreds.
So yes, those currently here are earning significantly more than if they remained there (and survived!)
Where's my check?
He’s actually Jewish.
‘Mayors Organized’ ... are the groups Obama formed as activist mayors when he was Pres. and we wrote of here on FR.
Isn’t it nice the mayors in near bankrupt cities have so much money to give away??
Some citizens sell out their nations for money, others do it for votes.
You can bet your favorite prayer rug that reparations are coming, nationwide. They can’t wait!
There is no possible recovery from such an action. You can bet your favorite BLM flag that there will be no end date for reparations.
