A commission to consider reparations to address the effects of slavery will proceed in New York under a bill passed Thursday by the state Legislature.

“We want to make sure we are looking at slavery and its legacies,” said state Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages before the floor debate, AP reports.

“This is about beginning the process of healing our communities. There still is generational trauma that people are experiencing. This is just one step forward.”

Same here. I don’t know why I should have to pay “reparations” to the lying azzhos.

I believe there were a few people held as slaves under the Dutch and pre-1776 New Yorkers. Illinois was a NON-SLAVE state per the Northwest Ordinance under which it, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan were formed and entered statehood. There was NO slavery in California after it became a US territory after the Mexican War of 1846; however, I don’t know if the Spanish rulers of California had slaves pre-1846. If so, some of them were probably the American Indian tribes instead of or in addition to blacks from Africa.
