President Biden is taking Black voters for granted and losing their support by remaining silent on reparations for Black Americans, according to pro-reparations activists.
Director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at the Independent Women's Forum Patrice Onwuka joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss her take on the demand and broader concerns surrounding reparations.and losing their support by remaining silent on – and not backing – reparations for Black Americans as a way to make amends for slavery and racism, according to pro-reparations activists who spoke to Fox News Digital.
Longtime Los Angeles resident, Walter Foster, 80, holds up a sign as the Reparations Task Force meets at the California Science Center in Los Angeles, Sept. 22, 2022. In March, Jean-Pierre similarly failed to answer a question about whether Biden supports slavery reparations at a national level. "The Biden administration can issue an executive order today setting up a federal reparations commission," she said."Black voters continue to identify unkept promises from Biden and are less enthusiastic about his leadership because of what he has not delivered on, including reparations. The majority of Black Americans support reparations. Leaders have to be held accountable for unkept promises; they can't coerce support and then not deliver. It's that simple.
"Executive orders are presidential directives and thus, typically too weak and limited to handle redress for slavery and its accumulated disadvantage," said Carnell."I view calls for an executive order as just another dodge by reparations activists who refuse to push Congress to pass a reparations bill for Biden to sign."
In Georgia, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted last week in favor of $210,000 in funding toward a reparations study to discern if reparations are necessary for some Fulton County residents who are descended from slaves.
