Personal note. I was in effect "driven out" of NYC (where I was born) in the 1980s. I've done very well for myself since then, but I couldn't make it there.

I refuse to be a victim, even when times are rough.

Trying to get his head around it.

Easy answer: All whites are guilty. No change possible if “systemic” white racism is locked in.

Wonder if they told the mayor how they actually got the slaves to sell to the Europeans. We won’t discuss the Muslims and the slave trade.

Displacement is a false term for people moving out of New York.

Harlem, for most of its history was a WHITE enclave! And like ALL neighborhoods in the five boroughs of NYC, one group of people have been "displaced" by "others", since the European settlers managed to get there.

Adams is a damned moron, who is ignorant of any and ALL factual history!

You have no foothold, you only have what the government is willing to give you for your votes. As soon a a big developer and dem donor wants what you think is you foothold they just take it.

Happened in DC. West of the Anacostia, pushed them out and into PG County, Md. East of the Anacostia to the Md line is next.

Adams should know that it was the Democrats that were in power at the time that land was confiscated. There isn’t one mention of it in the article. Democrat Horatio Seymour was NY State Governor from January 1st, 1853 to December 31, 1854. He had a second term as Governor from January 1, 1863 to December 31, 1864. Democrat Jacob Westervelt was Mayor of New York City from 1853 to 1855. He was followed by Democrat Fernando Wood who served one term from 1855 to 1858, and a second term from 1860 to 1862. The 76th New York State Legislature (January 4 to July 21, 1853), specifically the Assembly, was controlled by the Democrats (87-41). The Senate was split evenly 16-16. In the 77th State Legislature (January 3 to April 17, 1854), the Whigs controlled both chambers. I wasn’t able to determine the political make-up of the New York City Common Council for 1863, but if history tells us anything, it was most likely controlled by Democrats, but of course I can’t confirm this.

From the article…
“Darity and Mullen estimate that restitution in the form of direct cash payments would cost the American government $10 trillion to $12 trillion, or about $800,000 for each eligible Black household. The payments could eradicate long-standing racial disparities in wealth, health, income, education, incarceration rates, and overall quality of life, experts have argued.”

When I was in Ghana last year, [I] saw how families were displaced, torn apart and brought over to America through slavery in the hulls of the ships, living in dungeons, spending months and months living in their human waste, having their babies taken from them, and saw them dispersed and displaced,” he said.

This strange statement needs to be "unpacked."

He was in Ghana, and the Ghanaians invited him to attend an exhibition decrying the terrible injustice perpetrated by African tribesmen on captured members of other, conquered African tribes, who sold them into slavery to Whites?!

Is that what he is saying?! That the Ghanaians acknowledge the crimes against humanity which they committed?!

I doubt it!

Regards,
