Rhode Island is the north not the south.
I think those who should get reparations have died how about getting work hell and all so im 4th generation so guess what none of my ancestor dream new album anyway near when the Civil Wars happen nor owned when there where slaves
We need to eliminate the communists from our government immediately. Their responsible for the moral decadence, of our great nation. Communists and Bolsheviks, were on to you.
This guy is a pandering clown
Keep the name don't change it pay the descendants they royalty they still here
Elorza can get fucked, his city is turning into a 3rd world country
Worst mayor providence ever had! Another DeBlasio
Forcing people who never owned slaves to turn over their money to people who never were slaves. Seriously?
an idiot! where is the money coming from? another hand out. time to sell my property! Mayor you're delusional, dumb and pandering to bullshit! Running for higher office soon?
This is a Federal issue, not local or state.
I'm humbled
History repeats itself. If it was only your grandfather’s sin then racist acts would be void.
Let's get those checks rolling to my black ados and black fba asap facts ðŸÂ¦ðŸÂ¦ðŸÂ¦🤑🤑🤑
Too vague. He only represents Spanish speaking people. Now he wants the black vote. Basic Democrat okie doke.
This opens up a can of worms. Atrocities have been committed against people since the beginning of time. Politicians cannot choose who gets reparations and who doesn't for sins of the past that have nothing to do with us. Everyone has hurt everyone including Africans enslavling Europeans.
Ask the Africans for reparations!
If they do pass it, I'm opening a chain of liquor stores in every black neighborhood in America, all the reparations money will buy a lot of booze, tobacco and junk food!
Write the check 1 million per person for starters
This is pathetic and it makes me sick. Slavery was abolished more than a century and a half ago because of our brave Union soldiers. More than 2,000,000 men (black and white) enlisted in the Union Army. They fought, they suffered, and they gave their lives to end slavery in this country. What an insult and slap in the face this is to them.
Bullshit.
Halleluyah!

I'm a black man and can say with certainty that BLM / Antifa don't care about anyone let alone blacks!ÂÂÂ

Emmett Sullivan is a complete fool! A dipshit out of order!
Obama is a Liar!ÂÂÂ
Media is EVERYONE'S Enemy!
Watch my video's if you can. Thx!
Most likely just a ploy to get black support. It's probably going to end up being something that's labeled "reparations" but is not really reparations. Sort of like how Asheville did a week or two ago.
Lets give people money based on the color of the skin. If you’re a certain race, you get nothing. But if you’re a certain race, you get something… Regardless that none of us have been slaves…
Time to move
Asking people who never had slaves to pay people who were never slaves, is evil. Black people already per capita get the most gov assistance.
Thank you👌
White people are going to be taxed…….for being white……..bwuhaaahaahaha
I can see $$$$$ in his eyes and pockets.
Who elected these idiots???????
Soooooooooo what about the native Americans????????
Disney/ABC/ESPN in conjunction with the NBA calling for reparations/social justice while profiting from actual slave labor in China RIGHT NOW. That's so rich.
There is no way any American should pay anything for “past wrongs†we had nothing to do with . This is wrong . I won’t pay a tax increase or a new tax to pay people who never have been slaves .
It's annoying that our politicians don't represent the people anymore.
