As San Francisco's current reparations push has garnered the spotlight, a nationwide coalition of Democratic mayors has been working on pushing reparations for its Black residents as a template for the federal government.

All right, so the reparations movement is a scam, Current Time 0:21 / Duration 3:44 FOX News Horace Cooper: Reparations is all about buying votes 0 View on Watch Launched in 2021, Mayors Organized for Reparations and Equity (MORE) formed with eleven mayors and has since maneuvered in hopes of showing how the federal government could implement a national program.

"The idea of reparations for Black Americans has been locked in a conversation that has hardly moved beyond theory since the end of the Civil War," the group states on its website. "The members of Mayors Organized for Reparations & Equity (MORE) are committed to moving that needle with action and advocacy that points toward justice and healing the wounds of history."

"Our coalition stands on the belief that cities can — and should — act as laboratories for bold ideas that can be transformative for racial and economic justice on a larger scale, and demonstrate for the country how to pursue and improve initiatives that take a reparatory approach to confronting and dismantling structural and institutional racism."

If anything blacks should be paying back white Americans for bringing them to a real country instead of ending up in Africa with a bone in their nose running away from lions

I like the idea about building walls around Democrat-run urban areas. Only other suggestion is to build them very high then, FILL THE AREA CONTAINED WITHIN WITH WATER!!!!

Try that reparations bs in Miami. The Hispanic government and Hispanic civic leaders will laugh you out of town. Only stupid whites fall for this guilt-tripping.

My people got here 1904 or so. So don’t charge me for any crappy reparations. As Cassius Clay said — “I’m so glad that grand daddy got on that boat”. Blacks never had it so good, or better, than in America.

Some shenanigans with fists flying and hair pulling>>

Cassius Clay, who later changed his name to Muhammad Ali, said this quote in reference to his grandfather who was a slave and was brought to America on a slave ship. The quote is often used to show how far African Americans have come since slavery times1.

The founders were lazy and should have picked their own cotton.
