Law NYC passes reparations bill

[GoldenWolf87]

The most Liberal City, New York City had just passed a reparations bill.

I am against the idea of reparations bill.or reparations in general.

Because anyone who had ancestors are descended from people who have been enslaved in the past.

This looks like a handout.

NYC passes reparations bill

"In this surrounding area, people of African descent were brought to these shores, sold, trafficked and worked to build this city that we so love," Brooklyn NAACP president L. Joy Williams said.
"I want reparations in my lifetime," 94-year-old Crown Heights resident Ammiebelle Bush Olatunji said at City Hall. "It means everything."

"New York City has a moral obligation to confront its historical role in the institution of slavery, including harms and long-lasting consequences. This is another crucial step towards addressing systemic inequities, fostering reconciliation, and creating a more just and equitable future for all New Yorkers," a City Hall spokesperson said.

Its a bill to study reparations. This is just the Dems putting on a show to get them out to vote but will never actually do anything.

I think this is next after college loan forgiveness.

Basically. It’s pretty much, “yes we are giving a bunch of shit to illegals, truuuuust us, we will eventually give you something *wink wink* still vote for us!”

One thing i rarely seen debated, guess because controversial, is that as results of these atrocities descendants had the chance to born in the USA rather than let's say Angola or Congo

This does'nt mean try to paint slavery in any positive light, at same time though it's a fact that descendants of these people enslaved probably have far better life conditions than descendants of those who were'nt enslaved

Playing a game, i give you time machine, you push button and you grand-granpa was never captured, enslaved and brought to America... you spare him LOT of ugly ugly shit, only price is you don't born in New Yourk city, but suddently you're born and raised in good old Congo

How many would REALLY push that button?

It's a paradox, but history have it's fair share of that kind of shit

Kind of clickbaity. They didn't pass actual reparations.

"New York City Council members passed legislation Thursday aimed at acknowledging, studying and addressing the impact of slavery and racial injustices in New York City."

Its no different from these ESG/DEI programs they say and claim these programs are about "Diversity & inclusion "

When its the opposite.

I want reperations from the US as my dad's family were UEL and fled to Canada from the US.

I want it paid in gift cards to US fast food chains we do not have here: InnOut Panda express, olive garden and so on

 

[Captain Tenneal]

It would just be spent on commodities

 

[filthybliss]

You clickbaited with the title....

 

[NoSmilez]

It seems like a lot of nothing? It's just acknowledging the first market of slavery existed in that area? Whatever I don't really care if they want to study it.

lets be real if they did "something", you'd be the first whining about how the world is ending and out to get you.

Good. New York was a hotbed for slavery and they only pretend now to be on the right side of history. Bankrupt that shithole.

This declaration will back the city into a weird position. That study is definitely going to say reparations are needed. I think 25 percent of the city's population is foreign born. It is going to be weird convincing them that they are responsible for paying the taxes for reparations. There are a lot of transplants too.

They can acknowledge some NY financial institutions had a hand in slavery. I think it's probably slightly more favorable loans for businesses/homes in black communities. It will probably be extended to anyone willing to open a business in those areas. Maybe free tuition for decedents of slaves for local universities. I think some people will not understand that reparations might not be a direct deposit in their bank account and will do some looting. I think this is just a restore black communities/neighborhoods initiative with a lot of extra steps and more hands being greased.

whenever there is a suggestive study, there usually is an outcome for further funding, and it's not for nothing.

Is New York REALLY the most liberal city?

Not Eugene Oregon, or Berkely California?
