“New York fully abolished slavery by 1827, and much of New York City profited heavily off of the slave industry.”

Nyc should be paying much of this then based on the first article you posted. Nyc should double their taxes immediately because this could be a 500 billion dollar payment like California.

Or They need to increase their tax revenue by 27 times to pay for this in a year.

I am sure all these grifters who are staffing the commission are going to get paid.

Descendants of slave owners countrywide should be identified and pay for the astronomical amount of reparations.

It is unfair for descendants of white slaves/workers to pay for something that they didn’t benefit from.

She should sign a bill to form a commission to find her brain.

NY suffered 39,000 casualties in the Civil War, the most of any state. I think reparations have been paid.

Just another tactic to create division, and promote tribalism.

I really don't think that hochul believes in any of this bullsh!t that she is spewing. Its all about getting votes. Are these reparations going to be only for blacks. I'm sure there had to be some white slaves. Is there going to be any proof required. Just be fair and give reparations to everybody across the board.

More hopes for low brow folk.
Will they go after the folks who imported those slaves here first?

There is clearly nothing this skank of a governor won't do in order to secure future votes. She is nothing more than another blight on NYS. Pay for migrants, pay for reparations. Soon there won't be anyone left in NYS to pay all this charity-then what, Kathy? You know you're bad when you make Cuomo look good.

That's like one of the worst things you can call someone IMO

What borough do you live in?
