“By creating new processes to fully examine the present-day impacts of injustices inflicted on Black New Yorkers and communities, we are advancing necessary efforts to consider potential remedies that can lead to healing and reconciliation.

Not seeing where it claims no cash will be given. But I'm sure you can link the paragraph I must have missed.




But this part did tickle me.

Introduction 833-A, sponsored by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, would require the New York City Department of Transportation to facilitate the installation and maintenance of an informational sign near the intersection of Wall and Pearl Streets in Manhattan to mark the site of New York’s first slave market.

“As so many places across the country are choosing to ignore and suppress our history rather than teach it, it’s vital that New York City grapple with and learn from the parts of our past we too often try not to think about,” said Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.

#tard idiots have been tearing down any and everything that even remotely resembled slavery for years now, and all of the sudden, someone thinks preserving the history is now important. so very clownish.

They own a lot of government/military contract work ran by rich white people too! Largest loophole nobody talks about.

"Irish need not apply."

The north never had slaves. This is stupid on so many levels.

what? you are absolutely wrong. they had slaves in all 13 colonies brought over by the british. both white indentured and blacked owned slaves. granted the white indentured were just a step above the owned, they weren't treated any better., and often times wound up being a slave for life for breaking one of the contract or as some were prisoners who were released to servitude rules set.

then when the U.S. became a nation they still were some black slaves in the north until emancipation. it's also true that free there were more free blacks in north and some in the south and they owned slaves.

Get ready for people to develop "arrogance complexes" and "revenge binges" !! 🔁🐱

This Bill could create some dynamite Halloween Costumes! 😀

Yes, negative symbols of a dark time in history were torn down. Glorifying traitors and people who fought to uphold slavery as an institution.
And symbols of proper history are being put up, to tell the story in a positive manner to actually represent a large population within the US.

Wasn't talking about land. Was talking about corporate.

Does that include everyone? Because literally every one who has ancestors, are decended from people who have at one time been enslaved, even if by own people.

So, who does that nullify the bill or grant this to all?

At the height of the slave trade, White slavery was the largest number. Also, how do you figure out who is a descendant of American slavery, I bet it is a much smaller number than what people might think.

idiots who think removing history is a good idea will find out in the future when kids have no idea about any of this. Slavery will be forgotten, the cash will have been spent on gold teef and 40's of OE. But cheer it on, seems like it's popular these days.

Reparations don't need to be a cash pay out to a group of people or individuals. They're putting Reparations into programs and studies that will properly represent black history.

Where are the details in the legislation?

Soo interesting to see how democrats do anything for votes, the party of slavery and the kkk has been cashing out on the black community struggles and what nots.

The democrats are the reason we have soo much racism in the US, they keep it alive and well because it can be exploited on the emotions of those that still want to perpetuate a condition that happen way before we were all born, all for votes, deceptions and lies.

But the end is near, as democrats keep invading the nation with illegals, very soon their strategy will switch to the "injustice of illegals crossing the border".

America is not the only country that had slavery, slavery has been around since the beginning of human trafficking in ancient times.

While other countries still use slavery in many ways, only the US makes it a big deal, why? because democrats like it like that.

Which is funny since slavers in the US were all democrats.

Not really, slaves had value, and Asians and the Irish had zero value, so they were used mostly in very dangerous jobs with high injury and death rates. Also, a person could just shoot an Asian or Irishman and have zero repercussions, they were lower than slaves...

Corporate representation is bad?

a reply to: marg6043

Ok? And?

It's a big part of American history and a lot of people feel it's important, who cares who or had slaves elsewhere.

Again... the hyperbole. Why are you so sensationalist?

No one is removing history. They're removing eye sores.

Is this the thread where it’s worth noting the Irish were at one point worth less than African Americans?
