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.

I think all descendants of people enslaved in the United States should
be exempt from Federal Income Taxes for the remainder of their lives.
Obviously it will also cause all protected class laws on the books to be repealed.
Elimination of all of the federal infrastructure associated with civil rights will
probably more than offset the cost.
Hell - half of them pay no taxes anyway.
Well if they still consider themselves ex-slaves or Africans they need to repatriate themselves to Africa. They can then apply for immigration and later citizenship -if they want to become Americans.
Oh, yeah. We could certainly track this to the nth degree.
I say just do it, but in conjunction with action against the worthless white trash we see rioting in the streets under facial coverings.
It was was actually Muslims who started the entire slave trade, and owned black slaves 600 years before any European did. God forbid BLM demand $$$ from the oil-rich Gulf Arabs.
This White persons response, even if I wasn’t first generation? FOAD ya friggin leech!
GFY. Hard.
Reparations = Civil War
Freed the pepele who your people sold.
Once again, Buy Large Mansions wants me to give them money. It was a scam then. What’s different now?
13% of the population and 50% of the crime. They owe us reparations.
HOW ABOUT AN ACCOUNTING OF FREE MEDICAL/SECTION 8 HOUSING/EBT BENEFITS/ ETC.
THEY LIVE HIGH ON THE HOG COMPARED TO MANY OF US.
BRED INTO THEM & CONTINUED FROM BIRTH.
They’ve been getting reparations since LBJ introduced the great society.
Irish first!
We preceded black slaves by 15 years. In fact you could buy 10 Irish slaves for the price of 1 black slave.
I’ve got bills to pay, so let’s get this done.
Yawn.
Peak Black has come and gone.
We just don’t care.
Go pound sand.
I like the way you think. Real negotiations based on Truth
BLM is trying to take a page from the #MeToo movement.
“This is our time”
Reparations were paid in human blood sacrifice, 1861-1865.
700 thousand dead, tens of thousands gave arms, legs, eyes to the cause.
Besides, if paid today, they will be dead broke in six months and crying for more, More, MORE!
As Kipling said..”And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.”
The democrats “Free Stuff Army”
Upset because taxpayers want to keep some of the money we earn.
