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.

Boy, this BLM post is arrogant...
“It’s the ultimate enticement...”
Bloody ingrates ... Their ancestors had freedom handed to them on a silver platter ... paid for with the blood and treasure of other men. What have they done with it? Do they even understand what freedom is?
I think they do not.
They still think like slaves. A slave doesn’t dream of freedom, because he knows nothing of freedom. A slave dreams of being master.
The trillions theyve managed to squeeze out of federal and local govt , sitting on their asses popping out kids they have no business having is plenty . Sorry. If anything ,these ungrateful folks owe Americans a refund.
Racist POSs!!
sure thing... but first, deduct the value of freedom and then we’ll talk about how much you owe us.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
No group of people has had so many advantages handed to them in the form of quotas, set asides, and affirmative action in education, housing, and workplace laws and regulations over several generations and has done little with it.
You can have my “reparations” 168 grains at a time.
Fine, every black that that wants this gets $50,000, a ticket to Africa; and has to give up their US citizenship and passport
Heck we’ve been paying reparations for decades in the form of welfare, section 8, affirmative action, food stamps, etc.
Here’s my contribution to BLM.
I’m now flicking the sweat off my brow.
I and my ancestors never owned slaves, so please go to Africa where the tribes captured and sold slaves.
As a great-great grandson of two Union soldiers who fought against slavery at Gettysburg, Chancellorsville and Shiloh, I hereby demand reparations for the descendants of the 360,222 Union soldiers who fought and died doing the same. Wait. They have no descendants because they died. Sorry.
“ Sweep their front stoop.”
If I did that, my black neighbors would likely call in the cops to see if I was having some kind of mental health crisis. Because we like each other and care.
Looks like that huge amount of $$ given straight to BLM has disappeared. That along with trillions the government has spent on blacks over the past decades - extracted from us White Taxpayers.
Of course that is not enough. It is never enough.
How about taking care of yourselves instead of depending on us.
If as they claim Egyptians were Black then they held some of my ancestors in slavery foe 400 years and it took numerus miracles by God to gain their freedom. So they owe us a pretty large debt but we are awaiting Judgement Day when all debts will be paid.
So what our family came over some 50 years after the Civil War—Italian at that—do we owe monies? Steer me to the Kingfish and we’ll talk...
