The office for New York City Mayor Eric Adams says it supports the 'spirit' of a legislation that could trigger black New Yorkers to be paid reparations for slavery.

Sideya Sherman, commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Equity, said the controversial bill should be tweaked to avoid overlapping with two comparable state bills.

The bill, which was created by Councilwoman Farah Louis to launch a task force to study the effects of racial discrimination on the city could potentially lead to payments being issued, The Post reports.

😂 New York deserves what the vote for. 😂

[I want the USA back]

No New Yorker was ever a slave of a White in this country. I know they mean “descendants of slaves” but that doesn’t matter.

[HYPOCRACY]

They’re already allowed to kill whitey.

Sinatra is rolling in his grave. Reparations for wut??? New York New York a hellafah town

[gibsonguy]

Money from people who never owned slaves to people who never were slaves in a state that never had slaves. what’s the problem?

[Wdempsey]

Designed to increase racial tension, which is exactly what Democrats want

[Max_850]

You would be hard pressed to find one Black person in a Million that would not be for Reparations.

[americas.best.days...]

Maybe if they get a big check, they’ll settle down and be wonderful citizens?!?!? 😂😂😂😂

AND... everything else they DIDN’T vote for

[gibsonguy]

Yep.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This is a bone thrown to black New Yorkers.
They're pissed over the illegal alien invasion, so Adams is giving them something to chew on until the illegals can get situated.

“Designed to increase racial tension, which is exactly what Democrats want”

Exactly.

[Salman]

The more they get what they say they want, the worse the subsequent behavior.

A correlation I've noticed over the past 50 years or so.

Just sayin'

And it’s all part of the plot to turn America into a communist country.

[No name given]

My thoughts exactly.

[ViLaLuz]

What about all the human trafficking and child sex slavery going on RIGHT NOW in the Sanctuary City?

[rktman]

My kin folk from the Hudson Valley joined in the troubles to free them! Waiting on a check from the N double A CP. Crickets!

[no-to-illegals]

Why not 10 trillion $ each or 20 trillion $ each ?
