Snake Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Fuck Chicago. Amid winds of change as America confronts its race issue, a reparations resolution dismissed by many as the stuff of dreams was unanimously passed by a Chicago City Council committee Friday and is scheduled to go before the full council June 17. The resolution would establish a “Chicago Citizens of African Descent Reparations Commission” to investigate how one of the most segregated cities in the nation could best make amends for the impact of slavery. Up for discussion by the Committee on Human Relations Thursday, black and Latino aldermen called the resolution timely and necessary, in the aftermath of the cellphone-recorded killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and protests that grew violent as they unfurled across the nation, triggering a collective discourse over institutional racism. With the committee vote on the resolution tabled for Friday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration introduced an alternative late Thursday. It had one key difference. Lightfoot sought to drop establishment of the 16-member commission that would be tasked with holding hearings and developing a plan to “ensure equity, equality and parity for citizens of African descent in Chicago who are mired in poverty.” The mayor’s office declined to address the reparations resolution or why the mayor sought to ditch the commission, saying in a statement that Lightfoot is all for righting past wrongs. “The economic, health and social disparities that plague African Americans are the result of decades of discrimination, segregation and systemic racism,” a spokeswoman said. “Mayor Lightfoot is committed to and supports examination of the state of equity in Chicago to begin to right the wrongs of the past in order to overcome the many obstacles to employment, education, housing, justice, due process, health care and more facing African Americans.” https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2020/6/6/21282299/chicago-reparations-african-american-resolution-city-council 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
