Leaders in Asheville, North Carolina, have taken a historic step to repair centuries of racial prejudice by unanimously voting to provide reparations.
The Asheville City Council voted 7-0 on a resolution Tuesday night that formally apologized to its Black residents for the city's role in slavery, discriminatory housing practices, and other racist policies throughout its history.
The measure also calls for a plan to provide reparations to its Black residents in the form of investments in their community such as "increasing minority home ownership," "increasing minority business ownership and career opportunities," and "strategies to grow equity and generational wealth," according to the resolution.
Councilman Keith Young, who spearheaded the resolution, told ABC News in a statement that the council was looking "to embed systemic solutions. "This process begins and is perpetual, repeating this process over and over again," Young, who is Black, said in the statement. "There is no completion box to check off."

Giving away Other people’s money. Marxist scum at it again.
Gee.. I wonder where the MONEY to pay reparations will come from? /s
That's soooo Alinski ...
Black supremacy and white dhimmitude have no expiration date.
*** JUST MORE PANDERING ***
How many republicans on the council?
Asheville is so queer.
“The council’s resolution also calls on the state and federal governments to come up with their own reparation policies.”
Isn’t that special, no white guilt here so no thanks, shove it
Hmmmm. I got an invoice I need to deliver to someone for my kin folk fighting on the side of the Union out of the Hudson River Valley in New York during the conflict. Anyone got an address?
Uh...isn’t that what we have been doing or offering all along?
We’re fighting to give every American — all over the country, every single American — a future of dignity and purpose and of pride.
President Donald J. Trump
RECORD-BREAKING RESULTS: Under President Donald J. Trump, economic opportunity is soaring and unemployment is dropping for African Americans.
This year, African-American unemployment fell to a record low of 5.9 percent.
Total African-American employment has increased by 976,000 since President Trump’s election and stands at a record high.
The poverty rate for African Americans reached its lowest level on record in 2017.
INVESTING IN DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES: President Donald J. Trump’s Opportunity Zone Incentives are promoting investment in left-behind, economically distressed communities.
President Trump’s historic tax cut legislation included new Opportunity Zone Incentives to promote investment in economically distressed communities across the country.
Opportunity Zones offer tax incentives for businesses to invest in economically distressed communities, making them a powerful vehicle for economic growth and job creation.
Nearly 35 million Americans live in communities designated as Opportunity Zones.
8,761 communities in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and five United States territories have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
Through these tax incentives, we will jumpstart our American communities, create momentum for economic recovery, and attract investment to diverse areas across our Nation.
PROMOTING MINORITY-OWNED BUSINESS: Through job training, tax reform, and deregulation, President Donald J. Trump and his Administration are creating a better environment for minority-owned business.
President Trump is empowering minority business owners by eliminating a historic amount of unnecessary and burdensome regulations that too often hinder their growth.
Through the Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency, President Trump is delivering numerous new opportunities for minority business enterprises.
President Trump’s tax cuts included provisions that benefit minority-owned small businesses, a segment that contributes more than $1 trillion in annual economic output.
The President signed a memorandum dedicating at least $200 million a year to promote STEM education and especially benefitting women and minorities.
DELIVERING FOR HBCUs: President Donald J. Trump has made supporting our Nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) a key priority for his Administration.
In February 2017, President Trump signed an Executive Order on the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The Executive Order moved the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities to the White House from the Department of Education.
This was the earliest Executive Order on HBCUs signed by any President.
Earlier this year, President Trump signed legislation that increased Federal funding to HBCU programs by more than 14 percent.
The President signed legislation that forgave more than $300 million in Hurricane Katrina related debt that threatened New Orleans, Louisiana, area HBCUs.
I guess the NYers will be moving North now. The Democrats are going to be gypsies living in sprinter vans.
That's code for: No matter what you do, it is not enough.
Wouldn’t it be better to just tear down the Biltmore Estate and turn the land over to the former locally dwelling Indians?

It’s coming, but I’ve been saying that for a while.
Did Asheville even exist in 1860?
I wonder what will happen when whites finally have enough?
Flee the big cities as quickly as you can.
No intelligent life resides in government there.
This nonsense is going to “repair” anything.
If the City Council really cared, they would build stocks in the city square and place themselves in the stocks so black tourists could visit as a tourist attraction and beat and whip them over and over again....
If they really cared...
