On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN This Morning,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to a question on an uptick in most violent crime categories in the city in 2023 by stating that homicides and shootings have fallen and money “for restoration and reparations” will help address the “cycle of violence” in the city.

Hurry up and get those Chicongoans to ante up their cotton pickin’ “reparations”. Billions is the new millions. Million dollar NBA and MFL contracts are chump change and worthless.

U.S. blacks are the gold standard of arrogance and stupidity in one package.

I would not say so.... those who think that throwing “reparation” money at those born in America with dark skin, who have never been slaves nor lived in a country that legalized slavery during their lifetime will do anything to fix the social maladjustments primarily seen in America’s bigger inner cities are showing a stupidity of the highest degree. Expecting tax payers to foot the bill to pay “reparations” to others would only further divide already divided populations. Now, anyone who was actually enslaved should certainly be compensated by those who were directly involved in their enslavement would make sense - - however, paying for the sins of your forebearers should not stand!!

People who never owned slaves giving money to people who never were slaves in a state that never had slaves will solve Chicago’s violence problem. That’s heavy 3-D chess.

How much $$ in reparations will Oprah, Michael Jordon, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, and all the other Black multimillionaires receive as a result of their Blackness and downtrodden status?

"Reparations" is theft under color of government authority.

Officials who make such proposals must be driven out of office.

"By any means necessary"(tm), as the leftists are so fond of saying.

Their lack of culture and corrupt, racist leadership is why.

Dave Chapelle did a skit on reparations and it was hilarious and spot on. It showed how the money would be spent. One guy bought an 18 wheeler of menthol cigarettes with his money.

“Reparations money will help”

No, it won’t. Not one bit.

It hasn’t helped at all, so far. If anything it has hurt the blacks.

Where’s the money coming for these giveaways?

If there are any reparations due it should be for the victims
of black crime!

Any payment plan that promises to moderate African American behavior is doomed to failure. See the last 50 years for that.

The more they get what they say they want, the worse the behavior gets.

Paying so-called reparations invites another round of rioting for another round of payment.

My first thought was the mob sending Guido out to collect protection money. But, either way as they’re all savages.

Akin to negotiating with terrorists.

More like simply "caving" to terrorists.
