New York Calls for Reparations, Erasing Criminal Records, & Wearing Masks Indoors
By M Dowling -June 8, 20234

A New York bill is part of a national push to provide reparations for African Americans. Democratic lawmakers in New York hope the Legislature will approve SB1163A in the coming days.

“There’s a real question of whether slavery would have been economically feasible without New York,” Democrat James Sanders Jr. told Politico. “New York provided the insurance for the slave industry; New York paid for many of the votes; New York bought much of the cotton.”

In other words, it’s New York’s fault. This is the greed and politics of envy that socialism brings.


Sanders and other Democrats want a commission to study reparations for blacks by a state that was not a slave state. It was one of the eleven free states.

I have a relative who died at the Andersonville Rebel prisoner of war camp.  Shouldn't my family be given reparations by blacks for his dying to free them?  I think it is only proper for them to show their appreciation for his death and repaying us for it.

New York may not have had slavery at the outset of the War of Northern Aggression, but it most certainly had had slavery prior to that. While slavery was abolished there is 1827, New York's economic situation was such that slavery had less appeal, economically, than it did in areas where labor intensive agriculture existed.
