State Approves Resolution That Requires Residents To Compensate Blacks For Slavery According to recent reports, a group of commissioners from Dallas just passed a Juneteenth resolution that commemorated the day slaves in Texas earned their freedom. The resolution reportedly also claims that black people should be receiving reparations for slavery. Breitbart recently reported that Commissioner John Wiley Price authored the resolution. It included a long list of injustices endured by blacks, from slavery to Jim Crow to predatory lending practices. Then, in its final paragraph, it declared that the suffering of African-Americans should be satisfied with monetary and substantial reparations. Reports indicate that Price wrote the resolution after he read an article outlining why American should pay reparations to black people. The resolution passed. An hour later, the commissioners complained that they had not seen the language in the bill. What do you think? Are black Americans owed reparations for events that occurred more than a century ago?
