What about the black Bostonian gunned down by the Crown's soldiers in the Boston Massacre of 1770?
Shouldn't Boston be asking money from the UK.

“The left will rob us to death.”
That has always been their intent.

supporting and financing slavery even after Massachusetts abolished the practice in 1780 They abolished slavery in MA before the Revolution was won (1783). The Constitution was ratified in 1787.
"Boston" didn't do anything at all. Some people -- long dead -- may have had money invested in enterprises in the cotton states. Whoopty-doo.

They should also convene a commission to have the Egyptians pay reparations to the jews

Not enough people from Massachusetts died to free the slaves during the Civil War
And not enough welfare and affirmative action has been paid

I was under the impression that Massachusetts fought for the Union.

How many Bostonians fought in the Union Army during the Civil War fighting, in part, to end slavery? Maybe their ancestors should get reperations.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I wonder if the study will investigate labor unions which did not admit POC into their membership or apprentice programs.
Will the commission study the policies of some craft union that only permitted male relatives of existing members (all white) to become members.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Perhaps, one of the most segregated places in the country.
Here, take your reparation Mr Black Guy, just don’t hang out on Comm Ave, Landsdowne St or in Beacon Hill.
Stay in Dorchester where you belong.

How long ago did the last slave die?
Slaves were negroes - they weren’t African Americans. Why is the word negro so offensive to them?

How about reparations for descendants of Union soldiers who were wounded or killed while fighting in order to free the slaves?

So, a black family, whose grandparents immigrated to the US, from Nigeria in the 1970s, will get a check, paid for by Irish, whose ancestors were enslaved by Cromwell and sent to the Carribean, to work the sugar fields, before coming to Boston.
All, based on skin color.
Got it./sarc
