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 Feb. 28: “We don’t want to wait on a study. We’re going to start acting now.” . . .
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. . . .
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-S.C.) 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 inequality] 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.”

You got to be kidding. My family never own a slave. If something like this was to be done it should had been done over 100 years ago. No one today is suffering because of slavery. In fact, Africa sold their own people. Maybe they need to go back to Africa and get their so call reparations.

Reparations are due to the SLAVES THEMSELVES!! This generation does not have slaves (except in sex trafficking). Only someone directly affected by slavery should be paid reparations. Our forefathers gave reparations to slaves with the Congressional laws to end slavery. Yes we STILL have issues handed down through generations. Evil has always been around. Deal with the evil when it is seen. Throwing cash at slave descendants is like a little salve on a wound that heals nothing. Those who lived through slavery would tell you, there is no way to make that wrong, right with money. It is only in justice for the few today who have been mistreated racially, because our population has a small number of very judgmental people, who need help understanding freedom in America is for everyone.
Immigrants praise the freedom of America and we have a few American Citizens that just do not have eyes to see that freedom and the blessing that they get to enjoy. It’s like eating a great meal with zero appreciation for the cook or the Creator of all the ingredients.
So long as Democrats control major inner cities,many minorities will be stymied by policies implemented to do just that.Millions of dollars are spent each year on inner city “initiatives” that lead to politicians in charge to getting wealthy and poor still in that same revolving door of poverty. Interesting how Dr.King’s dream is in total reversal now and man is judged solely on the basis of the color of their skin. May the Lord send His warring Angel Army to fight the mounting hypocrisy and vitriol that will come against all as this ensues.May we, as a nation under God,turn back to the Lord and look to His Word to resolve and unite this country in truth and peace that only Jesus can offer.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for giving President Biden and his staff wisdom on this matter and let your justice and righteousness prevail in Jesus name. Amen!
