Fulton County, Georgia, is the latest to move forward with a $210,000 taxpayer-funded study to evaluate if reparations for residents who are descendants of slaves are practical.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted four to two in favor of the measure to fund the study led by the Atlanta University Center and county leadership, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman, who voted in favor of the measure, said this study will bring on five researchers who will explore if reparations are warranted.

“The study specifically excludes initiatives after 1980 because that data would reveal that the taxpayers of Fulton County have invested billions of dollars in supporting its most marginalized populations,” Thorne told Fox News. “With that view in mind, many would question the need to provide handouts to people who have never been enslaved, paid for by people who never enslaved anyone.”

Everyone, no matter their skin color, has had slave ancestors from some point in history. Where’s my reparations?
Thought electing (100+ D votes in many precincts) a black POTUS twice repaid everything.
For people still lie enough to even consider the question the vote will be “yes”
“The fact that blacks in the US also owned slaves has been totally ignored.“
If I’m not mistaken the first slave owner WAS black.
Only Repatriate those paid as dissatisfied with there fate in life to resume the good life in their homes country.
No deposit (free!)no return trips
Your right! I forgot that.

We think in the same circles.
God Bless you. My FRiend.
Many things going on that are planned to destroy, they want this great reset, in order for this to take place the old system needs to be destoryed
...and when it all comes tumbling down, after all that money has been wasted, they’ll take no responsibility whatsoever, and there will be no consequences.
Come, Lord Jesus.
Thank you
The stupidity is off-the-charts these days
Hold on to your hats, FRiends
God bless you sport
Anthony Johnson was NOT the 1st slave owner in North America, but the actual history is even more interesting.
Anthony Johnson was bought to the Virginia Colony as a slave in 1621. By 1655, he had obtained his freedom, and by then he was a fairly successful planter and rancher.
His claim to a slave named John Casor was the first in the English colonies of North America to be validated by a Virginia court in 1655.
Johnson was defending his “right” to own Casor against a wealthy white planter who claimed that Casor actually belonged to him
