Senior Advisor Says White House Will Start Acting on Reparations Without Congress

by Jack Phillips

A senior adviser to President Joe Biden said the White House will act without Congress to develop proposals
for reparations, or direct payments to African Americans,
White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond told Axios on February 28: "We don't want to wait on a study.
We're going to start acting now."
"We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African Americans," Richmond said. "We have to do stuff now."
"If you start talking about free college tuition to [historically black colleges and universities] and you start talking about free community college in Title I and all of those things, I think that you are well on your way," he said, noting that a timeline for Congress's committee to study reparations wasn't known.
Legislation for reparations was first introduced by Rep. John Conyers (D. Mich.) in 1989. In recent years, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D.-Texas) has repeatedly introduced the measure.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki last month told reporters that Biden is open to creating a commission to study the proposal.
"He certainly would support a study of reparations," she said. "He understands we don't need a study right now on systemic racism so he wants to take actions within his own government in the meantime."
The idea of reparations has been flagged as problematic for a variety of reasons, including how recipients of reparations would be selected, how much would be doled out, who would foot the bill, and how much it would actually cost.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D.-SC) said in 2019 to the Post and Courier, "that pure reparations would be impossible to implement, but we can deal with the issue [of racial equality] if we just admit, first of all, that it exists and then come up with some straightforward ways to deal with it."
In the interview, Clyburn said a debate about reparations would lead to a debate about who would be eligible due to extensive family trees that have come about since the abolition of slavery more than 150 years ago. Clyburn said that some white people could make claims to reparations, saying they have family ties to former slaves.
"Is that a fair way to do it?" Clyburn asked. "I say not."

US government has paid trillions in reparations to black people over decades already by way of the many varied social welfare programs.
And a good absolute number of black people are on welfare, although percentages are about the same like 38% for black or white are welfare recipients (of those who get welfare). Of course the racists will claim that is due to systemic racism.

Over 5 years from 2008 to 2013 it was 3.7 trillion dollars, how much more since then

Enough is enough.
Just the idea they want to pay out huge sums like this is evil.

All very debatable but no debate.
This country will further collapse and fail if the democrats get everything they want, It is an inevitable outcome.
As bad as things are, there is much worse that can happen.

BLM and the like are pure Marxist communism, but class struggle is changed into race struggle
Black Lives Matter Co-founder Admits: “We Are Trained Marxists” - The New American

Of course, that Black Lives Matter is Marxist comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with Marxism and the anti-police movement, but it’s always good to hear the truth straight from one of the founders herself.

BLM’s philosophy and tactics are pure Marx. They replace the Communist Manifesto author’s class struggle with a race-based one, turning the proletariat vs. bourgeoisie dynamic into non-white versus white. But the end is the same: Create a statist government with full control over the means of production and all aspects of the people’s lives.

Marxism is Totalitarian, Godless Dictatorship

“Evidence will be produced to prove that Modern Communism was organized in the year 1773 by a group of International Money-Barons who have used it since, as their manual of action, to further their secret plans to bring about a Totalitarian Godless State. Lenin made this clear in his book Left Wing Communism. On page 53, he said: "Our theory (Communism) is not a dogma (Settled Doctrine); it is a manual of action. Many modern leaders have said and done the same things as Lucifer did during the heavenly revolution. There is no appreciable difference between Red and Black Atheism. The only difference is in the plans used by the opposing leaders to ultimately win undisputed control of the world's resources, and bring into being their ideas for a Totalitarian, Godless Dictatorship.”

Some interesting observations on US communism.
I wonder how far along we are going to fall down this hole.

Couple of interesting to read commentaries on our really awful condition as a country.

I don't think you understand. Enough is never enough. The blacks have the goose that lays the golden egg. They just need to say the word, 'slavery', or 'Confederate flag, or 'hate', or the N word. And America must wilt in guilt and sorrow. America must always pay. It is the 'white mans burden'.

How much money can you send to Africa and get it on it's feet? There is no amount. It is a bottomless pit. A black hole that you can throw money into and it does nothing.

Houses are cheap in Detroit.

Well, each of us now should get our DNA checked to see if there is enough negroid serum in our veins to qualify for reparations. Hey! In today's society where a man can just put on a dress and call himself a woman, it looks like we white folks could now profess to be African Americans and expect to be treated as such.

Enough is enough in that they have paid trillions to blacks over decades with no significant betterment.
Africa is a huge hole for sure, the continent is massively large compared to the US.

This won't go over very well. Expect plenty of lawsuits. It's clearly unconstitutional.

You still don't understand. It is not about 'betterment'. It's about being entitled. They are black. They are entitled. They were slaves once. You and your children and grandchildren owe them for the rest of their lives.

They will never show 'betterment'. Why? Because they destroy the very structure that offers them the opportunity to betterment.

It is why Africa is the 'dark continent'. And as America is controlled by the negro race, it is becoming a dark continent and will reap the same benefits.
