NYC Council expected to back task force to study reparations for black residents

New York’s City Council is set to vote Thursday to authorize a controversial a task force to study reparations for black residents — a move that could lead to a call for billions in tax payer spending, as it has in other cities.

The city legislation would charge a nine-member task force with examining the “impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City” and determining what, if any, monetary or nonmonetary reparations are necessary.

Minority Leader Joseph Borelli (R) told The Post he would leave the city before he paid reparations.

“I’ll move before I’ll pay,” Borelli said.

“If they can introduce me to one New Yorker who owned a slave I’d be happy to consider it. But until then, I am not paying a dime as a reparation for a harm I did not cause, nor condone, nor once participated in.”

ROTFL! I think over they years they’ve received more than their share of “reparations”. You want money? Get off welfare and get a job.

I want reparations for my relatives enslaved by the Ottoman empire.

Fair enough.

“controversial a task force to study reparations for black residents.”

Why just residents?

New York imported slaves to be auctioned at the city's slave market . . . those victims ended-up throughout the 13 slave states. Their descendants are just as worthy as those now trapped in NYC.

And too, it must be asked if purchasers of NYC slaves were themselves defrauded by the sellers and entitled to some compensation.

Seriously, they will inflate the currency to pay for it, just like the Weimar Republic did to pay WWI reparations.

It's not really about helping blacks, it's about getting blacks to cooperate with destroying the working class (including blacks).

My ancestors came from Germany after slavery and before Nazism. If I were a descendant of a union soldier, I would have something to say to these negroes about “reparations”.

If you’re black and believe this will get you some cash money, get ready to have the rug pulled out from underneath your feet. See California for the example. Stop falling for the political BS!
