Chicago is now working on paying its black residents reparations, establishing a “reparations task force.” What do you think of this?
From The Hill. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order Monday to create a task force focused on reparations for the city’s Black residents.
Join the conversation on The Community.
As part of the executive order, the task force will conduct a study and examination of policies that impacted Black Chicago residents from the slavery era to present day, the mayor’s office said in a statement shared with The Hill. The task force will then issue a series of recommendations and remedies, the office added.
“Today’s Executive Order is not just a public declaration; it is a pledge to shape the future of our city by confronting the legacy of inequity that has plagued Chicago for far too long,” Johnson said Monday. …
Discussions surrounding reparations for Black Americans have been ongoing for years …
Johnson’s executive order came after he designated $500,000 in the city’s fiscal 2024 budget toward the issue, his office noted.

Every nation has been in slavery. Is this going to go around and around to each one. This is more than stupid. It is insane. What is becoming of this world. I pray that salvation will come to the minds that are introducing this and they will begin to see the Light.
Father God, you created each one and you decided that each one would be better in your eyes to love and support each other. Let us become more like God’s perfect creation.
In Jesus’s name Amen
This makes about as much sense as giving a vehicle to a toddler!
I pray that GOD intervene in this situation and give wisdom to the blind.
SO THEY WANT TO PAY REPARATIONS “ TO PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T EXPERIENCE SLAVERY, CHARGING PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T ENSLAVE ANYONE.” LIBERAL TREASON, COWARDICE, STUPIDITY AND JUST PLAIN CORRUPTION. DEAR GOD LET THIS INSANITY EXPLODE IN THEIR FACES. CONVERT THEM ALL TO CHRISTIANITY OR JUDAHISM.
I ASK IN JESUS’NAME
AMEN
Huh, I didn’t know Chicago had slaves!
We can all repent of our past mistakes and in the process not sell the farm with overdone self-pity. I have seen articles here on IFA celebrating the whole concept of you know repenting for our ancestors ..and while that is biblical.. as I understand it- if you run with it- and take it to the extreme.. it becomes self-pity -egregious self-pity, self-aggrandizement.. which some of the other commenters here have touched on ..and this is still- until the globalists ruin it -the home of the brave, and the land of the free- and everyone has an equal opportunity.
it’s just getting harder and harder to reach it, so let us not wallow our selves in self pity. I know nobody’s helping me out of my mess.
Lord I pray for a Resurgence of emotional healing and as the Revival gains ground..and your Harvest comes in..let us return to a sane state of thinking.. and let us return to the process of maturing through taking account of ourselves-, and not expecting handouts. We all need a hand up along the way,usually at some point- but let it not become a lifestyle.
In jesus name, Amen
Hmmmmm ridiculous on so many levels.
Sounds much like our city handing out bucks to the homeless so they don’t have to deal with the reality of 50, 000 homeless Special Needs individuals who wander
Our Father who art in heaven
🤦
THE FIRST SLAVES IN THIS COUNTRY WERE WHITE, THEY WERE IRISH, SCOTTISH AND ENGLISH. BLACK PEOPLE WEREN’T ENSALVED IN THIS COUNTRY TILL THE MUSLIMS KIDNAPPED THEM AND SOLD THEM TO PORTUGESE, SPANISH, BRITICH MERCHANTS WHO HAD NO CONSCIENCE OR MORALS SAVE FOR FRANCIS WHO WROTE THAT SONG. YPUKNOW THE ONE. SING IT IN YOUR HEAD, IN CASE SOMEONE IS LISTENING. GOD SPEED, WE’RE GOING INTO PERILOUS TIMES. SO DEAR GOD PLEASE INFORM THE UNINFORMED AND RESTORE THEIR SANITY. I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN
Dear Jesus expose the root cause of brokenness and the desire of a few to see division within our nation. You are the Healer and Deliverer of individuals and nations. We thank You Lord for Your Presence in our land.
I think it’s a good idea. Let’s get all of the former slaves and the former slave owners together and have the owners pay reparations to the slaves. Seriously, Chicago is broke and forced by Biden to shell out millions to support the illegal aliens that have invaded the city. Where are they going to get the money to redistribute wealth like thi
If this law, plan or otherwise go into affect, we need to consider the same thing for native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. They all have suffered. They all have had a good and bad times settling here in the United States.
If the Black people in Chicago are entitled to reparations then all races are, as all have been involved in slavery at some point in time. Reparations only encourages a victim mentality. I believe it is time for this manipulation to stop entirely along with BLM, Wok-ism and CRT. What is needed is for the fathers to rise up and raise their children, stay in their homes and for the wives to reject their dependency on welfare. The 1619 Project has spread big lies and made this worse.
Lord, we pray that all the people groups in America reject the fatalism and divisiveness of CRT, BLM and reparations which is trying to convince Americans that we are irredeemably racist. We ask this spirit be thwarted for good along with the Lefts obsession with the past. We ask That You will reveal the Truth, that this is the remaining of a laudable movement of a Marxist counterfeit. We decree a reverse of the effects and a stop to its destruction to our country and citizens. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
I personally have never lived in or around a black community, but I do believe that in this great country we live in the blacks and and the gays already have the same rights to everything we whites have. When one group of people think they deserve more than start demanding it, then division starts and a house divided will not stand. These are Jesus’s own words. So we need to pray against division. Farther I come to you today and pray against all division. Help us Lord to come together as one nation. Amen
I don’t guess I get it…and maybe my math isn’t that good but the amount they designated would allow less than a dollar per black resident. Is this another cheap political stunt??
Father I know there is assuredly some believers in Chicago’s government. I stand with them and pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal truth and the justice of Jesus Christ. May there be a glorious revival spread throughout the churches of Chicago.
God Bless them in Jesus name!! Hallelujah
