A Black Lives Matter (BLM) nonprofit affiliate told “white folks” the time has come Thursday to make good on monetary reparations and enhance its dwindling finances.
The Daily Caller first reported Black Lives Matter Grassroots issued a series of demands for assistance to “our people” and to hold white Americans “accountable” in a press release marking Juneteenth.
Juneteenth events have been scaled back this year due to funding shortfalls as companies and municipalities across the country reconsider their support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as AP reported.
The press release defied that dwindling interest and was headlined “JUNETEENTH IS OUR BLACK JUBILEE.” It stated:
White folks…
It’s time to pay reparations. Commit yourselves to real reparations policies that hold accountable the government, white-supremacist capitalism, and white people – who continue to benefit from our generations of stolen labor. Slide your Black friend some benjamins.
Make a check out to Black liberation organizations, like BLM Grassroots. Don’t have money? Wash your neighbor’s car. Watch her kids. Give him a ride. Sweep their front stoop. Do not ask to come to the cookout.
The Daily Caller report notes a May poll from Pew Research Center showed most American adults thought an “increased focus on race” driven by the BLM movement brought no meaningful benefits for black people in the time since George Floyd’s death in 2020.

Although you do not know me and have never met me, you want to hold me responsible for your problems.
Good to know and learn that skin color has such meaning. Just like the segregationist Democrats taught for generations.
Racism Matters, that's what the message really says. It's a Democrat thing....
They’re pressing this the way they pressed the Green New Deal. Next time the Dems get the power they will stir it into ginormous omnibus packages.
NO, send them all to Syria for repopulation instead
I didn’t own any slaves, and you didn’t pick any cotton, so blow it out your greedy, fat ass. Hell, my family didn’t even arrive here until 4-6 decades after slavery ended, and suffered discrimination themselves.
Oh, and let’s not forget that the newly-freed former slaves were given 40 acres and a mule, and that welfare benefits of one type e or another have flowed disproportionately to Blacks over the last 90 or so years. Enough with the victimhood, you have (collectively) been paid for many generations. Time to get off your lazy ass and go to work like everyone else.
In short, GFY!
Jane is smiling because she hadn’t seen a Detroit-style carjacking in real time before.
Amen. My great grandparents came to Chicago from Italy. Proud people never took welfare and proud to be in the USA. They had Polish, Italian, and Irish hoods. Cross over into a hood and you were not say Irish you would get your butt kicked lol.
The black a$$es got their reparations in spades.
600,000 - 700,000 mostly white men dead in the Civil War from
either combat or diseases.
Welfare, EBT cards, Section 8 housing, Affirmative Action / racial set asides / DEI, preference in college admissions,
“crazy checks” sent when their kids act up, free medical care, etc. etc.
Time for them to lose the attitude and get a damn job.
GFY BLM
They already got their 40 acres and a mule. If they lost It not our problem.
No way. It is time for BLM to fork back over all the money they squandered on BLM mansions. That money did not help black people at all.
White guilt shakedowns just ain’t what they used to be.
Gettin’ harder and harder to pull of these shakedowns.
Reparations wouldn’t change anything. They’d still squander any money they get.
Response…..it’s time you get a job
Reparations means the end of this country. The payments would never end. All babies born would get the money. Children of rich privileged celebrities would get the money. The amount would never be enough, and every year it would be increased.
And they would STILL hate us and blame us for their self-induced failures!
Good point. And I’m old enough to remember when welfare and food stamps and the like were promoted as reparations. I guess we’re supposed to forget that. Which backs up your point that they’ll never end.
What are you talking about?
I don’t want to hold you responsible for anything.
My ancestors paid this bill from 1861 through 1865.
These people can kiss my mulch pile.
