This post deserves to be negged and I don't say that lightly. There's always some 'Well, actually' a$$hole who runs in to tell black people why we don't deserve shyt this time (ie, every time).
Freedman's Savings Bank
The Freedman's Savings Bank on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
The Freedman's Saving and Trust Company, known as the Freedman's Savings Bank, was a private savings bank chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 3, 1865, to collect deposits from the newly emancipated communities. The bank opened 37 branches across 17 states and Washington DC within 7 years and collected funds from over 67,000 depositors.[1] At the height of its success, the Freedman's Savings Bank held assets worth more than $3.7 million in 1872 dollars, which translates to approximately $80 million in 2021.[2][3]
However, the rapid development of the bank was largely driven by false claims and was coupled with mismanagement and fraud.[4] The bank failed in 1874, weighed down by speculative loans issued by the bank's white officials throughout its existence.[2][5]: 138 Historians believe that the bank's failure not only destroyed the savings of many African Americans, but also their trust in financial institutions.[5]: 211 [6][7]

When the urban planner Robert Moses began building projects in New York during the 1920s, he bulldozed Black homes to make way for parks, and built highways through the middle of minority neighborhoods. According to one biography, Moses even made sure bridges on the parkways connecting New York City to beaches in Long Island were low enough to keep city buses — which would likely be carrying poor minorities — from passing underneath.
But Moses was no outlier. The highways and public spaces that shape our cities were often intentionally built at the expense of Black Americans.
The article regurgitates the typical “black and brown” narrative despite the fact that in the 1920’s the Hispanic population was less than 1%
Black families were forcibly removed from their homes by racist city planner Robert Moses right there in New York. Where’s the reparations for that?
New York would intentionally not pickup the garbage in black neighborhoods in order to allow pests like roaches and mice to flourish and create the narrative that black people were unclean and also to lower the property values. I could go on and on. New York despite being considered a state in the northern part of the United States has one of the most racist histories of any state in America.

Yes speculation across the entire financial system led to many banks failing the same exact way in the same time period......
This is different than actual plundering of assets by a nation that lost the war it started...
my point isnt that slaves arent owed anything...
my point is that the jewish assets still existed and had a papertrail
it's much harder to do this for us...this situation shouldnt be used as a direct comparison
But they got a committee for African Americans reparations but passed this shyt overnight
this. fukk this country.
Silly posters. What Kathy is really saying is “run the play”. Securing that money probably secures her a similar amount of money from donors in her campaign chest. It’s fukked up but it’s true. Jews in NY have money and donate because of shyt like this. They already have the black vote in the bag so whatever they do or don’t to is irrelevant to them. If this country or state wanted to do something they woulda did it already.

You do know that reparations just doesn't pertain to slavery right? It also refers to government enforced mistreatment during reconstruction, black codes, and Jim Crow as well....... So yeah, some of what you posted may very well apply

Just to provide context I posted the article and link below. I think a good point is being made about them receiving reparations and that the Holocaust was not the fault of the United States. Unfortunately I do not believe black people will ever see reparations because white people simply won't support it.

Germany marks 70 years of compensating Holocaust survivors

Totaling $80 billion.
Where did the money come from? Is it public funds? How was it approved for distribution without a fight/debate/referendum.
Take notes. Don't get distracted. They say it is secured and recovered money or assets. How can you prove that? I don't know but they don't make it sound like this came from the state budget. If it did it should be easy to track.
I think the thread jumped the gun. If this is money that has been recovered from loot.
