Reparations Scammers Hiding True Motives

On Thursday, May 15, a collection of black Congresswomen reintroduced a resolution demanding that taxpayers pay black Americans “reparations” for slavery. The leader of the racial wealth transfer resolution, Rep. Summer Lee, defended the idea of government-enforced race communism by saying: “We’re here to say that there’s no more waiting, no more watering down, no more putting justice on layaway. Black folks are owed more than thoughts and prayers. We’re owed repair, we’re owed restitution, and we’re owed justice.” Lee’s ridiculous move came after Ayanna Pressley introduced similar legislation in February, also demanding reparations.
Of course, the whole thing is absurd. Government transfer programs that take capital at gunpoint from high-agency, productive members of society and hand it to bloodlines that haven’t done honest work in a century already exist, and are abused to the point of constituting reparations.
Just look into how many companies named things like “Dodge Hellcat LLC” got Paycheck Protection Program loans that were forgiven.

Or look up all the government-mandated and taxpayer-funded DEI positions, black business grants, and so on that exist.
So, to be clear, numerous white to black transfer programs already exist. Those programs just have names other than “reparations.”
