| Denver Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca says white-owned businesses should pay reparations |
| 2023-05-07 |
| [NYPOST] A Denver councilwoman caused a stir when she declared that white-owned businesses should pay reparations. Candi CdeBaca, a 37-year-old Democratic Socialist ...the usual fancy moniker for the usual boring Communist in American politics.... who is facing a run-off election in June, told a business forum Thursday that white-owned businesses should pay an additional race-based tax, which would be given in turn as reparations to minority-owned businesses."Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources," ...the usual Communist dogma, intended to rouse the rabble from their job-loving somnolence... CdeBaca told the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance, 9 News reported.She said business improvement districts could levy the racial tax. ’You could be collecting those extra taxes from white-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to black and brown-owned businesses," she said. Critics clapped back, saying the plan is illegal under federal and state law. ...being, as it is, openly racist. The lady — or so one assumes, though she might be neither genteel nor female, despite being fashionably and expensively dressed — neglects to mention the place in her plan for Asians, Hispanics, illegal whites, the physically and/or mentally handicapped, alphabeters of all races, and diabetics, not to mention all the other categories I cannot at the moment remember. |

| #12 Ah'm assuming that's for those alive since 1860. Pro Tip: for those forging their birth certificates and related documentation, the Microsoft Word default font did not exist in the 1860s. |

| #11 Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources I guess if the "previous occupants" had consolidated their holdings (via some superior economic system? Which one, please.) the settlers would have had to move on. |

| #10 Any one accepting 'reparations' should forfeit citizenship and must leave the country. Returning here should mean an automatic death penalty carried out immediately. Oh and they forfeit ALL assets in America, they get their slave money and that's it. |

| #9 "Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources," That's the government's job! Socialists/Communists don't like any competition! |

| #8 California reparations panel approves payments of up to $1.2 million to every Black resident Ah'm assuming that's for those alive since 1860. |

| #6 California is still wrestling with the whole reparations question and has been for quite a while now. But yesterday, the task force assigned to look into the matter took a series of votes and approved several recommendations. None of these are moving immediately into law, but they are intended to inform the legislature so that final proposals can be voted on. They agreed on some form of apology and cash reparations. They didn’t specify an amount, but an earlier version of the proposal called for payments of at least $360,000. Of course, this plan would only apply to Black residents and not any other minorities. And the total bill would add up to more than two and a half times the state’s entire annual budget, even as California faces a significant budget shortfall. (NY Post) |

| #5 CA committee approves $800 billion. The reparations train has left it's CA station and is heading to a state/city near you - maybe yours. It may be possible to stop it somewhere down the line but there will be no escape from the consequences of having approved it. |

| #4 To penalize the South for slavery, the Federal Government confiscated much of the existing produce of the Confederacy and penalized the rebels more during Reconstruction. Certainly, there was enough plunder at the time to give some cash to former slaves. Currently, our government looks to have some cash flow issues that will preclude cash payouts beyond was is currently being distributed in the form of food stamps. As for going full socialist redistribution on small business in Denver, Candy CdeBaca can achieve a similar result by allowing the army to use her city for an artillery practice. Her initiative could be the only possible plan that would restore positive population growth to rust belt cities like Cleveland. Unfortunately, all the Cleveland politicians are dumb enough to enact her stupid idea right behind her. |
