VIDEO: Chicago Activists Want Property Taxes Nixed for Black Residents as Part of Reparations
Breitbart ^ | 03/10/2024 | AMY FURR

Black residents of Chicago should receive reparations in the form of no property taxes, a local activist group says.

The group wants city leaders and Cook County to stop imposing the taxes on those residents who are allegedly being displaced from their homes, Fox 32 reported Monday.

Reconstruction Era Reparation Act Now (ReRaN) Founder Howard Ray said, “People lost their homes because of property taxes. Because everybody’s been overcharged.”

“So what we want to do especially for the Black community because we’re very fragile, we want to keep them and preserve them here and by doing that, we can hold onto our culture in Chicago,” he added.

Black Chicago residents Taxed out of their homes? What did they expect? Where were officials going to put the ‘newcomers’?

That’s been going on for years. Homes in the ever diminishing “White enclaves” that remain in Chicago are worth 2 to 3 times of those in the “Black enclaves” of Chicago. Therefore, the taxes are 2 to 3 times higher.....As the Democrats say in Chicago, where it’s been one-party rule since 1931 “shut up and pay your taxes....” Nuff said.

They’d better hope there aren’t a great number of fellow unbalanced and dangerously angry people like me who are triggered by “reparations” and believe it crosses the line.

Holding it in.

Entitlement seems to have turned a huge populace of borderline blacks, especially female blacks, into raving, dangerous, homicidal maniacs.

YES. Do it. No taxes or tax supplied services to black residents.

“So what we want to do especially for the Black community because we’re very fragile...

White people are 40 times more likely to be murdered by a black person than vice-versa.

The "white community' is a lot more "fragile' than the "black community."

That’s like saying 600,000 dead in the Civil War just wasn’t enough. If the blacks can’t get their lives together in 150 they’re too dumb to manage money.

For some things, you CAN fault a guy for trying.

Are you expecting others to slave for you? Hypocrite.

The rancid state of Ill n annoyed doesn’t know how to cut taxes or trim budgets. Tax and spend is their addiction. If they eliminate prop taxes for black residents ( can’t blame them for complaining although they vote for it) but the city and state will tax the other residents in greater % to make it ‘balance’. Recipe for doomed failure or I should say even more of it.

Leftist black women in political office are emotional raged bullies and tyrants. More so than their other lighter shades of sister lunatics on the left. Women weren’t designed anyway for leadership over men if one agrees with Biblical perspectives.

Margret Thatcher seemed to do all right.

And it seems like the only GOP House reps with any cajónes right now...are women.
