One of President Biden picks for the Federal Reserve Board has called for black Americans to receive reparations for decades of slavery and economic discrimination. Details emerged in the week when Republican are expected to grill Lisa Cook, an economics professor at Michigan State University, about whether her public views would prevent her being a nonpartisan Fed official. Biden announced Cook's nomination on Jan. 14 and, if confirmed, she would be the first black woman on the seven-person board.(Snip)'Everybody benefited from slavery. Everybody,' Cook said in a September 2020 EconTalk podcast, in which she described her research into inequality. That includes universities that bought and sold slaves,

Does “everybody” include the slaves themselves?

Reparations for slavery should be paid for by those who owned slaves. Many who came here after slavery and those who did not own slaves should not have to pay for reparations. Actually most slave owners were either black or dems. Very few, if any, slave owners were repubs. So get the money from the original slave owners both black and dems. My family came here LONG after slavery was over so not a cent from my family. Go get the money from those responsible for it.

If we’re going to get historical retribution, we need to liquidate the dimokkkrap party and put the proceeds in trust for the victims of slavery and the racism the dims created.

Government willy-nilly spending has already caused a10% inflation tax. Now we need to tax more because a meritless pic for the fed doesn't understand basic economics and thinks 2 plus 2 is 5.

The nominee seems a political activist rather than a money manage. I think I would want a money manager for the Federal Reserve.

Even if we all agreed that reparations was the way to go do they realize what would happen? The ordinary Black citizen wouldn't see one single dime. Ten percent of the money would first go to 'community activists' and the rest to the democrat party bank accounts.
The definition of reparations is to take money from me, a person who has never owned a slave and give it to you, a person who has never been a slave, so that you will vote for democrats.

We usually click-check street thugs. But if you haven't, don't bother.

Biden can’t remember his nominees for various positions because he doesn’t know them, and he doesn’t choose them. If anyone believes he vets these people and looks at their CV, they’re dumber than he is. These are Obama’s picks thru Ron Klain. They all share the same anti US ideology.

I sincerely doubt there are any people currently in the United States who were slaves unless they came from another country. When will this insanity end?

One more dangerous nominee. Until now, the role of the Fed has been to foster full employment and low inflation. Diversity, Equity, and global warming are now the cudgels to beat banks and businesses into compliance or feel the wrath of the New Fed.

On my mother's side my heritage goes back to 1619. Later they fought in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and WWII. I still have a journal that my great-grandfather kept during the Civil War and he sure didn't keep slaves while foraging for food in the Shenandoah Valley. There were no rations in those days. It was each man for himself. He helped free those ungrateful slugs while only have a handful of coffee for food some days.

The twin mandate of the Federal Reserve is to grow the economy and keep inflation under control. By proposing these 3 radical leftists, Biden is ignoring the primary responsibility of the Fed.
Of course Biden did not pick any of these. The socialists running the white house did the picking.

One should read the Pigford vs. Glickman case to see how this can get totally out of hand in the blink of the eye.

There he goes again. Biden always finds the least merited, most biased activist for every position he can fill. He is apparently trying to turn America into a house of cards with his continually inept & irresponsible choices.

What reparations, they've been receiving reparations for years. Job quotas, diversity programs, subsidized housing, food stamps, welfare, their own colleges, their own cable stations, the NBA, the NFL, rap music and a ton of other stuff all on the taxpayers dime... .

"Everybody"? I could name you an immigrant who came to the US from Ireland, lived in the Northeast, volunteered for the Union Army, went into battle after battle after battle and was shot dead. To set your ancestors free, you jerk. That White Savior Robin di Angelo is telling the Black community they have no debt of gratitude. That's her way of being a White Savior, just wipe out an unpayable debt to people the Black community don't like anyway. But it is a lie. There is a debt. You do not have to pay it because Jesus will. But "everybody" benefited? You are so kidding yourself. People paid in blood and death for you, torture in Andersonville, lives with mutilated limbs. You owe. This slander, this never ending slander, is Robin Di Angelo's lying gift to you, wiping out a debt you can not pay. There is truth.

Confirm her right now, or you're raciss. But where is the blame going to the African tribesmen who captured fellow Africans, made them into slaves, and sold them to the slave traders? Not to mention the black and Native Americans who held slaves?
