So this morning I see that Governor Hochul announced that she secured reparations for victims of the Holocaust and their descendants.
Now I don't know if "secured" means they got private organizations to put up money or something like that. In such a case the state of NY would be merely facilitating the funds (which I have issues with as well). It could also mean that taxpayer money was "secured". Which would be faar worse.
Either way, why is the state of NY "securing" compensation for Jews in America for an act committed by a sovereign state, Germany, some near 80 years ago?
Of course some black folk on X were annoyed because black folks in NY got a "commission" to study compensation for slavery and Jim Crow. The partner argument being that these were things done by the US to US citizens (now if not then) which would be far more relevant than the actions of Germans.
To them I say, you get exactly what you voted for.
Hochul beat Republican Lee Zeldin by way of 90% black votes.
While Zeldin’s law and order campaign made inroads with once blue-leaning Asian, Jewish and Latino voters, black voters were Hochul’s firewall in southeast Queens, central Brooklyn, Harlem and parts of the Bronx, the analysis done by The Post found
Hochul garnered a staggering 90% or more votes in many of the city’s predominantly Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean districts — the same working and middle class voters who propelled Mayor Eric Adams last year.
So, by this reading, just about every other demographic split their vote, Hence making them parties worth courting, except blacks who then are largely responsible for putting this woman in office, who then gets compensation money for...
Checks notes...
Jews.
Y'all deserve that smack in the face and knife in the back.

“Oh, absolutely. Oh, definitely the black community elected Kathy Hochul governor,” said state Assemblywoman Inez Dickens. In Dickens’ 70th Assembly District, residents delivered 27,968 votes for Hochul, and just 2,287 for Zeldin.
According to Dickens, Zeldin is too closely associated with former President Donald Trump for black voters — and isn’t seen as a moderate in the mold of former three-term GOP Gov. George Pataki. Trump endorsed Zeldin just weeks before the Nov. 8 election.
“If Zeldin was a Pataki Republican, he would have done better,” the Harlem political veteran said. “He was considered a Trumper by black voters. That was a very, very big part of it.”"
Orange man bad. And anyone who is in same party. Where's my reparations money?
Meanwhile, speed cameras supposedly intended to protect school children and only to be active during school hours, pop up like weeds after a rainstorm all over Queens and Brooklyn taxing black folks for driving on streets they lived on for decades.
You know they don't have those things in Nassau and Suffolk county. You know they don't have those in Westchester or other northern counties.
They are taxing YOUR black behind to drive in YOUR neighborhood on some "think of the children" nonsense.
That's what you voted for. Enjoy the taxing. Enjoy watching others "get theirs" and watch the "migrants" get theirs....out of your pocket.
