Senior Biden adviser claims admin must ‘start acting now’ on reparations, no time for Congress to study issue
March 1, 2021 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

A White House senior advisor named Cedric Richmond is claiming that the Biden administration is “going to start acting now” on reparations for black Americans, declaring that there isn’t time for a commission to study the proposal.

The issue of forming a commission to study reparations is being debated in Congress. Richmond told Axios in an interview for HBO that Democrats shouldn’t wait for Congress on the explosive topic. That interview will air on Monday.

“We don’t want to wait on a study. We’re going to start acting now,” he declared to Axios. “We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans. We have to do stuff now.”

I just had to see if Mr. Richmond might have some personal gain to be had or conflict of interest in pushing this policy. It appears so.

Getting rid of as much money as they can, before anybody gets any stimulus money, that's LONG OVERDUE.
At least Trump was defeated, so none of this matters, right?

Don't tell anyone, but in the course of researching family history, I discovered a few months ago that there actually is a slave owner or two in my family tree.

I suppose this means they'll be forcing me to pay reparations. Being the great-great-great-great-grandchild is a slave owner makes me as guilty as he, right?

Reparations in Covid bill:

Democrats COVID Bill Gives $1.9 Billion to Black Farmers for “Racial Justice”

As The Gateway Pundit reported back in 2010 Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging racial discrimination in its allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1983 and 1997. The lawsuit ended with a settlement in which the U.S. government agreed to pay African American farmers $50,000 each if they had attempted to get USDA help but failed. As of 2010, almost $1 billion was paid or credited to the farmers under the settlement’s consent decree.

More than 92,000 blacks signed up for reparations from the Obama USDA after the Pigford case was extended in 2010.

That turned out to be five times the number of blacks who were actually farming during the time period in question and would possibly qualify for the reparations. So-called “farmers” from inner-city Chicago even signed up for the farming handout. ...

Trending Politics reported:

    With the bill now headed for the Senate, much of the contents will be ignored by the media or cloaked in the guise of ‘racial justice’.

    One of these is the use of $1 billion in taxpayer money for the advancement of ‘racial justice’ in farming, a scam that is championed by failed presidential candidate Cory “Spartacus” Booker. ...

Coca Cola wants white people to be less white. Not sure how to do that without perpetuating some racial stereotype.

I am in favor of reparations provided that the Democrat Party pays them.  They alone reneged on Special Field Order 15.  They alone are liable.
