Democrat House Member to Introduce Bill for "Reparations Now"

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., plans to introduce a sweeping "Reparations Now Resolution" this week, calling for trillions in federal spending to support Black Americans. The move intensifies the Democrats' push for reparative justice, even as critics question the economic and social impact.
Key Details:
Seeks trillions of dollars in reparations, citing slavery, Jim Crow, and systemic racism as justification.
Follows Rep. Ayanna Pressley's February legislation proposing a federal reparations commission.
Blue states like California have also floated reparations programs amid broader DEI-focused efforts.
Diving Deeper:
Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., is preparing to introduce the "Reparations Now Resolution" on Thursday, escalating House Democrats' efforts to secure massive federal payouts for descendants of Black Americans. Lee announced her plan during a Capitol Hill event this week, declaring reparations a "moral and legal obligation" that America must confront.
"This is a moment in time where societies are shaped [and] new societies are built. We should be the ones who are shaping it," Lee said, emphasizing the urgency behind her legislation. In remarks directed at the Trump administration's rollback of DEI initiatives, Lee warned that conservatives aim to shape the nation's future and urged progressives to "fight like hell" to advance their vision instead.
...
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., introduced a related bill earlier this year to establish a federal commission tasked with studying the lasting effects of slavery and crafting specific reparations proposals. At the time, Pressley claimed the country was experiencing "anti-Blackness on steroids," vowing to continue the pursuit of what she described as racial justice.

People are tired of this, and the Democrats just keep doubling down on it. They still haven't been delivered enough of a rebuke. They won't stop this until Republicans win supermajorities in both chambers.

How is everyone?

62 -------
From April: Trump's order (regarding The Smithsonian) noted, among other things, that the show “promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating ‘Race is a human invention.’”

In interviews, several scholars questioned why the executive order appeared to take issue with that view, which is now broadly held. Samuel J. Redman, a history professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst who has written about scientific racism, said that “the executive order is troubling and out of step with the current consensus."
------------

If that is the case.... if "scientific consensus" holds that race is merely a "social construct" not a biological one - which is what the libs claim out of one side of their forked mouths - then who the *hell* is supposed to get these "reparations"???

Will anyone ask? I know damn well Trump will. Will ANY fag Republican dare challenge this on these grounds?

Remember back when maybe 2006-08 when you had articles talking about how we were trying to train the Iraqis to not see elections as a chance to then, when in power, punish their enemies. To use the pluralistic victory as a chance to improve things for ALL Iraqis and how hard the Iraqis found the concept.

You think that will "solve" racism finally and, once and for all, finally appease the Left? Or will they wake up the next day and say it wasn't enough and what's more that if you think a little money could ever solve 400 years of racism, then you're a racist and you are minimizing the real problem.

Just like Climate Change, it's a fake issue with no solution. It's blackmail and blackmail is famous for never stopping, and in fact only getting worse. The "solution" is your unending oppression, except it's not intended to be a solution, it is just the state you must exist in - without reprieve or relief - forever.

167 The vast majority of modern-day descendants of slave-owners from pre-1865 America now identify as BLACK.

No joke.

Approximately 2% of modern-day "white" Americans are descended from Antebellum slave-owners. Most "white" Americans are deascended from immigrants who arrived here after 1865: Irish, Polacks, Italians, Jews, Swedes, Krauts, Russians, etc. etc. This accounts for up to 70% of 21st century "white" Americans. The rest are descended from older US pre-1865 famileis that were dirt poor and never owned slaves, or weren't from slaves states.

Meanwhile, to be blunt, any child born from a relationship between a slave-owner and a black female slave was automatically classified as "black" in that era. Most lighter-skinned 21st-centiry blacks are descended from such unions. Thus they are the (illegitimate) decendants of slave-owners.

Reparations? Light-skinned blacks must pay dark-skinned blacks.
