Indeed..... How are we going to extract what they owe for all the damages they have inflicted upon our cities??
They’ve burned through every dollar handed to them.
Tired and don’t care about the whining and oh-woe-is-me mentality.

If I were a Black person living in Africa, I would get over to New York as soon as possible. A Black could pick up a nice reparations check, get a flight back to Africa, and live for the rest of their life high on the hog.
What is the difference from robbing a bank and theft of good money from the taxpayer? If it is a taking that is not of the will of the people, it is theft. Perhaps reparations is a set-up by the politicians to scoop out big chunks of money for their back pockets.

Yup. All the sugar cane, tobacco and cotton we had to pick for ol’ massa in upstate New York. My back still aches from it ever since I started identifying as black 180 years ago last week. Pay up, cracker! Don’t you pull that “fuggadaboudit” jive.

That's nothing.
Before it became New York it was called New Amsterdam!
Why is that important?
Well ..
The Royal African Company
Chartered by Charles II in 1672 and headed by his brother the Duke of York for more than two decades, the Royal African Company held a monopoly on trade with Africa which included gold, silver and slaves.
From 1680-86, the company transported an average of 5,000 slaves per year, most of which were shipped to colonies in the Caribbean and Virginia.
Thousands of slaves arrived in the New World with the company’s initials branded on their chests.
Why did I think it important to post this very short history of a company that probably few have ever heard of?
New York!
Since the Virtue Signalers are demanding that everything that is offensive to blacks be torn down or renamed .. why not start with New York?
After all, New York was named after the great Trader of African Slaves, the head of The Royal African Company ... King James II, also known as the Duke of York.
(Heck .. The family that owns the New York Times were slaveholders!)
