    Default In historic move, North Carolina city approves reparations for Black residents

    ASHEVILLE, N.C. – In an extraordinary move, the Asheville City Council has apologized for the North Carolina city's historic role in slavery, discrimination and denial of basic liberties to Black residents and voted to provide reparations to them and their descendants.

    The 7-0 vote came the night of July 14.

    "Hundreds of years of Black blood spilled that basically fills the cup we drink from today," said Councilman Keith Young, one of two African American members of the body and the measure's chief proponent.

    "It is simply not enough to remove statutes. Black people in this country are dealing with issues that are systemic in nature."

    The unanimously passed resolution does not mandate direct payments. Instead, it will make investments in areas where Black residents face disparities.

    "Liberia is a country in West Africa which was founded by free people of color from the United States. The emigration of free people of color, and later former slaves, was funded and organized by the American Colonization Society (ACS). The mortality rate of these settlers was the highest in accurately recorded human history.[1][2] Of the 4,571 emigrants who arrived in Liberia between 1820 and 1843, only 1,819 survived.[3][4]"

    So much for blaming the Democrats for Blacks failing.

    Gee, I wonder how this will pan out lol?

    All the white folks leave Asheville once they see their taxes skyrocket to the Moon.

    Half of the black population in NC moves to Asheville.

    I swear, if lefties didn’t exist you couldn’t make them up.

    "The resulting budgetary and programmatic priorities may include but not be limited to increasing minority home ownership and access to other affordable housing, increasing minority business ownership and career opportunities, strategies to grow equity and generational wealth, closing the gaps in health care, education, employment and pay, neighborhood safety and fairness within criminal justice,"
