If Democrat lawmakers in New York have their way, the black ancestors of slaves will receive a sweet taxpayer-funded payoff.
This comes on the heels of a California task force recommending $569 billion in reparations be allocated to every black person in that state who qualifies as the ancestor of a slave. That adds up to a Golden State payoff of $223,200 each.
This is just another way for America’s shameless, leftist race hustlers to get their greedy hands on money earned by completely innocent, hard-working taxpayers.
Naturally, flush off their victories in the midterms, New York Democrats are looking to do the same and more… More looting of the treasury to spread racial division, and steal from the poor to give to rich race hustlers:

“In 1741, Manhattan had the second-largest slave population of any city in the Thirteen Colonies after Charleston, South Carolina.”
“With the increase of slaves in New York, poor whites had to compete economically. Some slaveholders were artisans who taught their slaves their trade. They could subcontract their work and underbid other white artisans. This created racial and economic tension between the slaves and competing white craftsmen. The governor of New York in 1737 told the legislature, ‘the artificers complain and with too much reason of the pernicious custom of breeding slaves to trades whereby the honest industrious tradesmen are reduced to poverty for want of employ, and many of them forced to leave us to seek their living in other countries.’ Some whites went out of business because of this.”

“As the number of fires increased, so did the suspicion that the fires were not accidents but planned arson. When on April 6, a round of four fires broke out, and a black man was spotted running away, a white man yelled out, “A negro, a negro.” The man’s cry was taken up quickly by a crowd and soon turned to, “The negroes are rising!” They captured the running slave, Cuffee. He was jailed. Within a few days, 100 slaves were jailed.”
“From May 11 to August 29, 1741, seventeen blacks and four whites were convicted and hanged, 13 blacks were burned at stake, and 70 blacks were banished from New York. Seven whites were also deported.”
“On December 13, 1711, the New York City Common Council established the city’s first slave market near Wall Street for the sale and rental of enslaved Africans and Native Americans.”
“By the early 1700s, about 20 percent of the population were enslaved black people. The colonial government in New York restricted this group through several measures: requiring slaves to carry a pass if traveling more than a mile (1.6 km) from home; discouraging marriage among them; prohibiting gatherings in groups of more than three persons; and requiring them to sit in separate galleries at church services.”
“A group of more than twenty black slaves, the majority of whom were believed to be Coromantee or Akan, gathered on the night of April 6, 1712, and set fire to a building on Maiden Lane near Broadway. While the white colonists tried to put out the fire, the enslaved blacks, armed with guns, hatchets, and swords, attacked the whites and then ran off. 8 whites were killed and 7 wounded. All of the runaway slaves were captured almost immediately and returned to their owners.”
“Colonial forces arrested seventy blacks and jailed them. Six are reported to have committed suicide. Twenty-seven were put on trial, 21 of whom were convicted and sentenced to death, including one woman with child. Twenty were burned to death and one was executed on a breaking wheel.”

Groveling for votes. Gotta keep those black dems on the plantation.
More racism.
A huge chunk of black New Yorkers are immigrants. This isn't going to go over too well once they find out their tax money is going to pay for this.
Isn’t “40 acres and a mule” a bit outdated? Maybe we can do a new “2 gold chains and a hoopty” plan?
If they just took money from Democrats, I’d be okay with it.
I’m still waiting for a damned thank you for my great grandfather freeing the slave. He was an Irishman recruited right off the boat.
Shouldn’t that be re-reparations?
As they have gotten many many government assists..for as long as that racist pervert Brandon has been in office.
What about the children? Will the next generation qualify for a similar payment because their parents (if they can be found) blew the money?
This is racial Jizya. It can never end once it is established.
And look for 23andMe, or some government equivalent thereof, to racially categorize everyone to a level undreamed of in Nazi Germany.
All to whip up the black vote.
If men can claim to be women, then I can claim to be black.
Thank you. I made a wrong assumption. It’s a preposterous idea however.
So, how about we just stop paying taxes, ALL OF US!!! The leftists/democrats have to be punched in the face.
