Providence Mayor Signs Executive Order to Pursue Reparations for Black and Native American Residents

Mayor Jorge Elorza signed an executive order on Wednesday to pursue a “truth-telling and reparations process” in the Rhode Island city.

Elorza’s efforts come on the heels of Ashville, North Carolina, approving reparations that will “make investments in areas where Black residents face disparities.”

The Providence mayor announced his similar intentions during a press conference on Wednesday.

“Today’s announcement is a commitment that we’re making to a process,” Elorza said during a press conference.

Funny how these groups claim we must let go of the old when it comes to statues and the constitution. Why don't they just let go of slavery? As far as reparations go I thought that's what welfare and food stamps were all about. Let's face it, if it wasn't for slavery all the blacks complaining wouldn't even be here to complain. Why not just give them a ticket (reparation) back to Africa?

all that were enslaved received 40 acres and a mule and the chance to go back to Africa or Liberia. Liberia was funded by the US tax payers. It to turned into a shithole because the people did not want to take care of it and keep the same people in charge, just like the US inner cities. They turn everything they touch into a shitholes. keep cheering and voting for Democrats this is what you get.

I’m certainly not in favor of paying repetitions. Just another “woke” excuse to be lazy and sponge of all of us that work for a living.

Northwest Woodsman: As I said yesterday, let them set a price on reparations and then allow us to deduct the costs we have incurred over the last, let’s say, two hundred years for all the issues negros have cost us taxpayers. Every aspect of the massive use of our criminal justice system should be included in the total amount they owe us. I suspect that they will end up having to pay us for their outrageous criminal behavior for all those years.
