St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter recently committed to supporting a slavery reparations program in the city of St. Paul.

Carter is part of a coalition launched last week of 11 mayors across the U.S. The Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity (MORE) coalition, led by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, was formed with the mission of starting pilot reparations programs that would be led by local committees of black leaders.

The mayors in MORE held a virtual press conference last week to announce the group’s inception and mission.

Reparations should come with revocation of US citizenship, leaving the country, and never returning.

Fine, as long as they spend their personal money.

Ha!

Minnesota was admitted as a free state in 1858 and wouldn’t have black people likely gone there to escape slavery or rebuild their lives after the Civil War? Or am I trying to bring in too many facts and logic with this one idea?

Who, purely coincidentally, will also be the primary recipients of the money.

If they do it locally, I’m fine with this. Vote for these maggots, and get that liberal division politics jammed down your throat, while they empty your wallet.

Another “win” for the good people of Minnesota.

Do they think Minnesota was one of the Cotton States? Lots of plantations up there in the land of a thousand lakes?

Newark and Paterson in NJ already have pilot programs for “universal basic income”; it was very clear when the 2020 election could be stolen without repercussions that the elites know they can force ANYTHING on us.

I hope FReepers never again attack idle video-game playing young guys who understand that work today is just to provide material comfort for idle populations - NOT THE WORKERS THEMSELVES. This will push MGTOW to whole new levels...

You’d probably have to leave the county or state (as holes in the St. Paul budget would be plugged with cash infusions from those coffers); that is why the left wants to nationalize these policies. They can’t have some regions going broke as they go woke (see the NYC metro area) while others attract the wealth and talent; they need to create an environment where there is no place to escape from it.

What about the descendants of black slave owners?

The first legal slave owner in the United States was black, after all.

Shouldn’t they be required to pay reparations?

Long story short: As an economic expert witness in over 100 legal cases, you may want to rethink this reparations idea. Given that the largest supplier of slaves during the early 1800's was Guinea, "economic equality" today would require blacks to pay non-blacks $600 billion per year for each of the past 157 years. You sure you want to push that agenda?

I was under the impression that most POCs in that area were recently from Africa...Somalia to be exact.

Do we pay reparations to those who are a certain color and never exposed to American slavery?

Reparations is a word that means robbing one group and giving their money to another group.

That is exactly what happens to people who walk through certain neighborhoods.

It is urban culture enforced by Big Government.

MGTOW, until fatherhood is addressed, is surrender.
