The office for New York City Mayor Eric Adams says it supports the 'spirit' of a legislation that could trigger black New Yorkers to be paid reparations for slavery.
Sideya Sherman, commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Equity, said the controversial bill should be tweaked to avoid overlapping with two comparable state bills.
The bill, which was created by Councilwoman Farah Louis to launch a task force to study the effects of racial discrimination on the city could potentially lead to payments being issued, The Post reports.

He supported New York as a sanctuary city, too.
But then came the bill and he’s howling like a cat got his tail caught in a wringer.
So what happens when he gets the reparation bill?
As if.......

Adams can’t even provide “ a better life” for 100,000 Venezuelans. How in the hell is he going to be able to give 5 million bucks each to over 2 million black New Yawk City residents and then give them a salary of $250,000 per year for doing nothing as those kooks in Caliphony are recommending?
Nothing but cheap rile the blacks leftist demagoguery. NY, a Free state pretty much since the beginning of the republic. If they think they have a claim take to to the British Crown, not the American Taxpayer.
No problem.
The North wants everyone to believe they were slave free.
Not so!🥴
A lot of the North had slaves.
Also blacks owned black and WHITE SLAVES .. something else hidden from most of us.🥱
Ask any one of his colleges coming up the ranks, he is a devout racist at heart and used it to climb the ladder so this is no surprise and he fools no one except the white liberal skunks who support him
Slavery was finally outlawed in New York State in 1828.
It’s time to start taxing the NYC illegals on all the imputed income they are receiving: $3000 up front, $2100 monthly per child, phone, housing, transportation, etc to raise money for these reparations. Show them the free country they “escaped” to.

Bull; Thank you for this information! If anyone can prove they were a slave in the state of NY in 1828 I say give them their 40 acres and a mule! Else, the period to file a claim expired.
The law passed in the New York legislature in 1799 called for a gradual emancipation of slaves. The 1830 census recorded 75 slaves in the State. The 1840 census recorded zero slaves in New York State.
Black New Yorkers deserve reparations for slavery.
Better check with who sold them in the first place their own in Africa.
Not many countries that weren’t enslaved at some point blacks don’t own that gig.
... l just assumed NY was never a slave area since they were a northern state.

There were BLACK slave owners in the Union States, as well as the white owners.
The Emancipation Proclamation only eliminated slavery in the Confederate States. That was done to shut down the financially profitable cotton and tobacco plantations of the South.
Did anyone mention her history? Her parents are immigrants from Haiti. Thus she has absolutely no historical ties to American slavery.
