A Denver councilwoman has sparked fierce debate after suggesting that white-owned businesses pay additional tax, which would be given in reparations to the owners of minority-owned businesses.

This is partly true - we bettered the world in a way that makes it much more difficult for tyrants to gain control over the minds of their populations.
The tyrants - and would-be tyrants - have never forgiven us.
They will continue to confiscate until the weaklings finally stand up and stop them.
I those who won’t stand up and fight due the FEAR of being labelled as a mean tweeter or otherwise are in reality the arms and legs of these same Marxists themselves.
if anyone disputes her it’s the right wing mob:
“Critics seized on her plan, and pointed out that the plan would be illegal under federal and state law.
CdeBaca’s office said she was being ‘targeted by a white nationalist mob’.
The councilwoman said: ‘I will not be silenced by the far-right playbook.
‘A nuanced discussion about reparations is necessary, but that opportunity has been taken from us by the right-wing outrage machine.
‘This kind of discussion is not going to happen in this media landscape.’
Questioned by 9News about the plan, CdeBaca said the constitutionality of a race-based tax is ‘not a factor’ because the taxes from a business improvement district are ‘voluntary.’
A spokesman for Denver’s Department of Finance said that was untrue.”
its much like the “democratic peoples republic”
hahaha....:)
It’s going to keep getting worse. They’re having a crazy contest.
You are a damn fool to have a business in Denver nowadays. In the pic in #25, she looks like Jimmy Durante is one of her ancestors.

Ha! For some reason unknown to me, this morning I tracked down that scene and watched it online. Haven’t seen it since I watched “2001” in a theater when it was released in 1968.
Fierce debate? She should have been instantly met with withering ridicule and told to sit down and shut up.
Yes and no.
We’ve created new, more powerful tyrants.
Look at how the American government has weaponized itself against we the people
Obama seized the opportunity in his death to America agenda.
Biden is merely a third term sock puppet.
Me thinks you need to revisit the history books.
The crown by and large owned the land. IMO, The greatest advancement of private ownership was due to the magna carta and the growth of ownership didn’t really show itself for another 50 years.
