Congresswoman Makes Reparations Demand on the House Floor: 'Pay Us What You Owe Us'

Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley appeared to call for reparations for the country’s black citizens during a House floor speech Thursday.

The far-left Democrat and member of the self-proclaimed “squad” spoke at length about a perceived systemic bias against black Americans.

Pressley, describing the Black Lives Matter movement as a “mandate” on all of America, said it is time for the country to “pay us what you owe us.”

“I rise today on behalf of every black family that has been robbed of a child,” Pressley said.

“On behalf of every family member that has been forced to see their loved one lynched on national television. Driving while black. Jogging while black. Sleeping while black. We have been criminalized for the very way we show up in the world. Under the harsh gaze of far too many, my black body is seen as a threat, always considered armed,” she added.

“Centuries of institutionalized oppression will not be undone overnight, for racism in America is as structural as the marble pillars of this very institution,” Pressley continued.

“With the power of the pen, we must legislate accountability, dismantle these systems and move in the direction of justice and healing.”

Referring to widespread racial and civil unrest since the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minnesota, Pressley appeared to demand reparations for black Americans.

“There is a rallying cry in communities across the nation. Black Lives Matter is a mandate from the people,” she said.

“It’s time. Pay us what you owe us. Our black skin is not a crime, it is the beautiful robe of nation builders.”

Rep. Ayanna Pressley: "Black Lives Matter is a mandate from the people. It's time -- pay us what you owe us. Our Black skin is not a crime. It is the beautiful robe of nation-builders."

Pressley has previously expressed support for efforts to defund police departments and to end qualified immunity, which protects police officers from lawsuits.

“Qualified immunity shields police from accountability, impedes true justice, and undermines the constitutional rights of every person in this country,” Pressley said in a statement earlier this month.

Pressley’s apparent call for reparations, though, might not find a great deal of support in Congress.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted this week found that only one in five respondents said they support using “taxpayer money to pay damages to descendants of enslaved people in the United States.”

The poll revealed that around 80 percent of Republicans said they were opposed to financial reparations, while roughly a third of Democrats supported reparations.

Only one in 10 white respondents supported the idea, compared to roughly half of black respondent.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has said he is in support of exploring the feasibility of offering financial reparations to both black and Native Americans, Newsweek reported.

“If, in fact, there are ways to get direct payments for reparations, I want to see it,” Biden said earlier this month during a virtual conversation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Pressley was floated as a potential Biden running mate last week by Vanity Fair.

“I’m just following the work and wherever the work takes me. I wasn’t planning to run for City Council. I wasn’t planning to run for Congress. I’m just following the work. So wherever the work takes me, that’s where I’m going,” she told the outlet.

If we cough up money for these asses, in a few years they will demand more. It will never end. I say, let's counter offer. A one time only one way ticket for every black man, woman, child and this is inclusive for everyone who is even .01 percent black who is unhappy, to any country that will take them. No return visa will be considered. Clean out the jails and send them too! If we have more funds, open up the deal to every muslin, atheist, brown or yellow skinned or white and all malcontent trouble makers. Give them 6 months to decide and prepare for departure and relinquish citizenship as an American citizen. For those who stay, make sure they realize that all special treatment will stop and they will be like every other US citizen, no better or worse! No more bitching about slavery, monuments, flags or war of aggression. Let us go deeper in debt if necessary, but let's end this crap now.

==================
SHAME ON THIS BLACK EXTORTIONIST.. Blacks are the most privileged people in America.

Who owe them anything? Majority of them lived off the hands of those who worked hard, nothing to do with the stupidities of those blacks of long ago. All of us were slaves at some point. The only reasons why other races had moved higher because they worked hard and they are smarter.

Blacks are lucky that there were brought to the West. Those brought to Muslims were killed as they grew old. Those majority left in Africa are still ignorant. Many are still in the jungles of Africa, eating each other. E.g. Edi Amin.

Proven by historian Duncan that 9 out of 10 women in Africa make several babies without real fathers. Likewise here in the US 77% of black women make several babies without fathers to guide and provide. They grow up on the streets, and join BLM's, that's how BLM multiplies. I think their problem is biologically genetic.

That was why Bill Gates goal of giving blacks pills to reduce baby explosion is to reduce the sufferings of those abandoned children. It is animal like behavior really. They make several babies, let them suffer of hunger then die.

"Racist" word is the most important factor that made those corrupt blacks very rich, thru extortion from the White people and others.

NOW HERE BLM'S DEMANDS, reparation, shame on them lock them up!

Blacks in South Africa are doing the same too. Killing the White people who worked hard and developed that land early on. The Vikings were the early settlers there who made the country great. Now the blacks are killing them and taking over their lands and properties. Most blacks are very dangerous people, E.g. BLM's why?

Those blacks and Muslims are elected in Congress supposed to work for the people in which they were elected. They are being paid by us the taxpayers, lucrative sums of money and benefits. But they work for themselves. They demand from the federal tax payers more to extort.

That's how they enrich their own. They don't serve the country. They are there to extort. AOC , Omar, Tlaib, Presley, Maxine Waters, and 95% of the blacks and Muslims in Congress are extortionist. They get very wealthy after they retire with multi-million retirement funds, all paid for by us, the taxpayers. How stupid are we, for putting them there? Are we dumb?

Rad3 that's a beautiful cat you have there. I like, respect and trust animals a whole lot more than I do Democrats, Liberals, Communist, BLM'ers and all other LOW LIFE's
