A lot of Africans here were slave owners. It’s pretty retarded to pay their descendants “reparations” unless you’ve been doing a lot of drugs.

I imagine this will attract a lot in newly minted black New Yorkers….

"I still have a feeling that most white and Asian and Latinx Americans will strongly resent being forced to pay reparations."

But will they or can they do anything about it.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I agree. All these aholes want are black VOTES!

[TexasFreeper2009]

all reparations should be paid by the Democratic party, the party of slavery.

[caww]

This is bullcrap - there’s not a single black slave living today for this to be even considered. Such nonsense happening these days is enough for one to just tune it all out.

[God luvs America]

Better yet, reparations for the victims of Affirmative Action

[Chode]

right after they pay the Indig...

Think of it this way, for all the crimes the black community have committed, no one would sue them because they don’t have deep pockets. You can’t get blood from a turnip so to speak. With reparations they can be normalized in this litigious society by becoming a civil suit defendant.

Is this the total amount or just the start?

Where will the NY state government get the money? Are they awash in cash since the Feds have dumped oodles of $ into the economy? They must be.

How about reparations for families who lost loved ones freeing the slaves?

My great-uncle Tom Tierney. Gimme my money mofos.

” I’m gonna jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton
Pick a bale a day.”

If that doesn’t prove I’m black, nothing will. Where’s my check?

Actually, my ancestors, an illiterate brother and sister from Wales, came to the Caribbean island of Nevis as indentured servants, clearing jungles so cotton could be planted. They were there five years, finally released, penniless, on shore of the Carolinas. THEN, blacks came in, planted cotton, and are getting reparations?

Where the heck are MY reparations?

I identify as a black norwegian new yorker, were do I sign up?

[Candor7]

Watch all those lefty white libs take to Black Face!

[Izzatso]

Those NY lawmakers should just sit back and wait for Trump to implement his Platinum Plan.

[fella]

Everybody that wants some free money just has to self identify as Black.

[Bikkuri]

You beat me to it. I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I think the article is wrong, it is actually $569 BILLION.

It is actually $569 BILLION, not million as the article says,
