Eleven U.S. mayors, from Los Angeles to tiny Tullahassee, Oklahoma, have pledged to pay reparations for slavery to a small group of Black residents in their cities, saying their aim is to set an example for the federal government on how a nationwide program could work.
The mayors had no details on how much it would cost, who would pay for it or how people would be chosen. All of those details would be worked out with the help of local commissions comprised of representatives from Black-led organizations set up to advise the mayor of each city. But the mayors say they are committed to paying reparations instead of just talking about them.
“Black Americans don’t need another study that sits on a shelf,” said St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, the city’s first Black female mayor and a member of the group. “We need decisive action to address the racial wealth gap holding communities back across our country.”
If the families can prove that their slave relatives were taken advantage of by the US government, Figure out the amount of reparations they should be paid. I understand that some slave families were promised a mule and 40 acres by the government but never received what was promised. So if the family can prove that their descendants were taken advantage of like that pay them and if not no pay. This would be the most responsible way to pay reparations out without having to give a free handout to people who have no stake or proof their family members were swindled out of money. My two cents worth…….
Well your two cents isn’t worth a penny. How would you like to be responsible to pay the debt of your family members that you never knew or heard of? Same thing, different theory.
The government will have to pay since they did not honor on their original agreements with the slave families. Pay these family descendants now! They deserve it!
