This is crazy. California and now New York. These were Union states.
"New York is poised to become the second state in the US to explore issuing financial reparations to the descendants of black slaves, after the legislature overwhelmingly passed a measure establishing an exploratory commission last week.
Governor Kathy Hochul’s public silence – as the bill remains unsigned nearly a week after landing on her desk – has brought national attention to the issue, with supporters of reparations arguing the measure does not go far enough to holding the nation accountable for its past sins. Opponents are also questioning the affordability – and moral legitimacy – of such programs.
“Blacks are not only not equal to whites, they are indeed going backwards,” State Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-South Ozone Park), the bill’s author, told local outlet Queens Chronicle, after it passed both chambers of the New York legislature with significant majorities. “The nation needs to resolve this matter by making the descendants whole,” he said."
Political correctness is oppression disguised as good manners.
