The Left’s systemic guilt over how badly they continue to treat people of color has driven them to the only obvious solution. Make you pay for it. And that makes sense. Using people to advance their agenda is inherent in the ideology, and buying people off gets things done.
The Left is also good at lying about their intentions and mistreating the people they claim to champion. And much like Islamofascists, nothing is offensive if done in the name of the supreme agenda. There can be no sin or crime if the cause is (in their mind) just.
It explains the Liberal destruction of the black family, kneecapping their education opportunities and trapping them on crime-ridden Democrat-infested urban plantations. The same can be said of women the Left has been warring with for years while claiming to champion their rights.
So, yeah – there is much over which to feign guilt.
California has concocted a relief package (reparations) to assuage its liberal guilt. It looks more like a lottery win for millions who were never slaves, paid for by people who never owned one – whose relatives never owned a slave. Paid to people, many of whose distant relatives were never slaves.
It is the latest Democrat virtue signal, and Boston has one too. The city hired 35-year-old George Washington Williams as their Reparations Task Force project coordinator, but George has been something of a problem child.
According to a police report, city employees say that throughout May, they have had difficulties “with him trespassing in the building after hours, and at times becoming aggressive and threatening other staff members inside of City Hall.”
Williams, who has been arrested for multiple drug offenses in the past, according to Massachusetts-based outlet TB Daily News, was allegedly found non-verbal in an off-limits room while sage burned Thursday evening. How did he get there? Well, he allegedly chased off a custodian to gain access to the room.
Here’s another report on Williams’ hijinks and arrest.
Director of Municipal Protective Services, Steven Tankle, told Boston officers that his team had been having issues with Williams for three weeks, “with him trespassing in the building after hours, and at times becoming aggressive and threatening other staff members inside of City Hall,” the report stated.
Williams had allegedly been found on multiple occasions sleeping in office rooms that didn’t belong to him after bypassing metal detectors and security. The police report indicated that Williams “often became verbally aggressive and refused to leave.”
Municipal officers also reportedly grew concerned about Williams’ behavior of “burning sage inside of the building in small spaces” due to the fire hazard it posed.
This doesn’t say much about their vetting process, or maybe George is the perfect candidate and was taking his reparations in advance even though The Daily Wire reminds us that slavery has been illegal in Massachusetts since 1787.
Nonetheless, the task force will also be engaging “the community throughout the process to include input from lived experience” and then provide recommendations “for reparative justice solutions for Black residents.”
It’s been 236 years since anyone in the city or state had any legal connection to the African slave trade. But here we are, looking at reparations in the cradle of liberty, and I have a question. Is anyone on the reparations task force going to interview George Williams? He’s a black man who got arrested and did a bit of time, even if just overnight. And now the city of Boston has fired him.
I think he could offer some insight into that lived experience stuff.
