Activists in Minnesota are calling for reparations after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd.
Advocates of police reform celebrated the verdict, which they have described as a step in the right direction toward their goal of holding police officers accountable for killing civilians.
But, according to Insider, “organizers and family members of victims of police violence are careful not to label his conviction as anything more than a step in the direction toward justice.”
In fact, Black Lives Matter Minnesota is now saying that full-scale reparations is the solution needed to atone for what they say has been generational institutionalized racism.
“It’s about direct cash payments,” Trahern Crews, a spokesperson for BLM Minnesota, told Insider. “Reparations is cause for a cessation, which means stop killing them, or stop harming them.”
“That’s not stopping, so we don’t get a chance to heal,” Crews added.
Evanston, Illinois, a city north of Chicago, began the first phase of their reparations program in March.
Overall, the city plans to distribute $10 million over the next 10 years using revenue collected from taxes on recreational marijuana sales.
Time to stop this ridiculous chit right now. You want something come get it.
Reparations for what? Something that happened over 100 yrs ago. That is so asinine and why the black race overall will not ever be a blessed race and always a cursed one. God’s punishment to them is the black on black genocide going on in this country. He hates the ugly lying hearts of so many blacks.
White Christian Americans ended slavery that was brought 325 years before America was a country . Millions of White people died to end slavery and it’s only their descendants that are owed reparations
I want reparations for paying taxes to pay for the reparations
Yes it is time to fix the Black problem. They are so unhappy and continue to complain about the harsh treatment of their ancestors and their plight of slavery. It is time our government fixed this terrible wrong once and for all.
Repatriate all of the descendants of slave back to their ancestral homelands now! Back to the place they miss so much.
We know they miss Africa because they refuse to assimilate to the American ways of life.
They continue to name their children wild African names, dress as if still in a tribe, wear hair that attracts pests and smells.
They sing of killing Cops, shooting teachers and leaders. They will not follow a lawful order or obey any laws.
All of this is showing their continued displeasure of having to live in America, the country that stole their ancestors away form their beloved homeland.
Yes it is time to right this injustice and send them back home.
I know almost everyone would be willing to pony up $20 to help fund the ship to Africa plan. So lets start a “Go-Fund-me” for the return to Africa cruise!
Subsidized housing, welfare for all their keds, food stamps that are now cash and carry on a credit card loaded each month, affirmative action, along with too many to mention. So you deserve more money for WHAT? You reach into my pocket every pay day. My thoughts in brief, kiss my White backside. I go to work because I enjoy a productive day and I have a habit that I support. It’s called eating….. food…..nourishment so I can continue the circle of WORK.
Reparations for WHITES !!!!!
Only WHITES deserve Reparations !!!! They endured Affirmative Action (Reverse Discrimination ) WW1 WW2
