Anyone asking for "reparations" should be given a plane ticket to whatever country their ancestors came from, enough money to purchase 40 acres, and a mule in that country.
with every one of their descendants, nobody stays behind.

Colorado councilwoman who advocated for reparations blown out in reelection contest



A councilwoman in a Colorado district lost her reelection bid by a wide voter margin, only a month after a video of her advocating for reparations was shared on social media.

The vote tally for the election in District 9 showed incumbent candidate Candi CdeBaca lose to challenger Darrell Watson on Tuesday night, with Watson getting 60.71% of the votes while CdeBaca trailed far behind at 39.29%. CdeBaca's 21.42% margin loss marked one of the biggest blowout losses in the last 10 years, according to KDVR.

In May, CdeBaca was seen in a video in which she argued that white-owned businesses ought to be taxed more as a means of reparations which could then be distributed to minority-owned business owners.

"Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labors, and stolen resources," CdeBaca said at the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance.

Following her Tuesday night defeat, CdeBaca stated that while the election results were not what she had hoped for, the intent of the election was to bring "more progressive candidates to the table." The councilwoman also stated the election was not about her, but rather about "building power for community."

California Reparations Task Force Wants Black Residents Free To Skip Out On Child Support








Additionally, the report determined that the state’s 10% interest applied to back child support debt makes it more difficult for black fathers to further their educations while trying to keep ahead of payments. For those reasons, the task force has called for the interest on such child support payments to be waived and for back child support debt to be erased if the debtor is black.

“The Task Force recommends that the Legislature enact legislation to terminate all interest accrued on back child support, requiring only the payment of the principal owed. At a minimum, the proposal recommends that the Legislature eliminate the prospective accrual of interest on child support debt for low-income parents,” the report read.

Additionally, the report called for a total ban on police enforcing public urination laws.







Arguing that the enforcement of public urination laws — as well as other “public nuisance” offenses — amounted to “criminalizing poverty,” the task force found that having police as the first point of contact raised the risk of a confrontation that could turn violent.
