Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is promoting reparations in a bid to curb health and wealth disparities of black New Yorkers — but the effort is being met with accusations that it’s “sowing racial divisiveness,” The Post has learned.

The proposal for federal reparations is spelled out in a bombshell report from the city’s Department of Health and the Federal Reserve Bank entitled “Analyzing the Racial Wealth Gap and Implications for Health Equity.”

“The goal of a [federal] reparations program would be to seek acknowledgment, redress, and closure for America’s complicity in federal, state, and local policies … that have deprived black Americans of equitable access to wealth and wealth-building opportunities,” the report said.

The city’s Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan and his team offered three key recommendations including: a fresh approach to public health policy, how to improve data collections on wealth and health outcomes and getting the community more involved with health care decisions.

But moderate and conservative politicians opposed to reparations accused Adams’ health minions of turning into ideologues and social justice activists instead of doing their jobs.

“Add reparations and sowing racial divisiveness to the list of greatest policy hits by Commissioner Vasan’s and his health department, right alongside the crack pipe vending machine, heroin ‘empowerment’ signs on subways, firing unvaccinated city workers, supporting government drug dens; and banning unvaccinated kids from sports,” fumed Council Republican Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island).

The New York legislature approved a commission to address economic, political and educational disparities by black people in June and follows the lead of California, which became the first state to form a reparations task force in 2020.

New York Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, the first black person to hold the position, called the legislation “historic.”

Adams has previously expressed support for the commission which is awaiting Hochul’s signature.

“We have consistently brought together experts to discuss a variety of ideas to promote equity in our city and we will continue to do so,” said the Health Department’s spokesman.

“We have an obligation to help New Yorkers lead longer, healthier lives.”

As with most progress in this system, we have to first inspect its ongoing involvement in pro enslavement systems. Not only did the historical ties to the Trans-Atlantic-slave trade leave on going structural residual connections that linger in our society today, it continues to exist in the 13th amendment's clause: slavery illegal unless a crime was found on you. That "unless" aspect made it essentially persist as is under the guise of hyper-criminalization at a system level. This has had adverse, negative effect on everyone including the environment. These are facts that can be proven. Not just social justice counter points. Besides, we are literally (regardless of what we say about it) immersed in politics and social justice through our lived social experiences. Claiming "the social justice advocates are the issue for pointing out what exists" is not helpful and adds to the lack of communal education required to understand these things. We need problack proindigenx reperations and restituion.

Hi, everyone!

Today's #FanartFebruary artist is Disparity AKA cookiecoasters.

Their art style is anime-like and really vibrant and fun. In fact, they introduced me to the world of collecting fanart about Bo through the delightful Bo^2 piece they made for me in 2021!

I recently interviewed Disparity about their art and their Instagram projects, which you can read about on my website here.

It's always great to see fans working together to make something special, and you can see more of Disparity's incredible art collaborations on their social media accounts.

I hope you enjoy the interview, and keep it here for more fanart fun this month! ✌🏼

Aaj inki aankhon mai alag sa dard dekha,

Phir wapas aake apna ghar dekha,

Wo ek hi kapde ko sil sil baar baar chalate hai,

Aur ek hum hai jo har mauke pe kuch naya le aate hai.

Cerebrating

When you ain’t got enough cents to make a dollar You may lack the sense to not spazz out and holler

The USA Corporation ain’t never been short of monetary denomination Ask a Ukrainian, but not a Haitian

Anti-blackness is like plastic, it’s in all the water we drink Therapy is a tool, but systemic disparity it cannot shrink

An antidepressant for despair But it’s human dignity that our oppressive systems impair

When I sit with myself, and parse the mainstream noise I realize that the chaos is the music that the deep state employs

Democracy, like capitalism, is a PR scam The weight of injustice is a tumor rested upon our global diaphragm

These systems extract consent like we mine oil from the earth Societal disease is a contagion we all contract from birth

I hold intimate grudges against the notion that "College life is for fun", it is fun as long as you have money. Why is the concept of fun in college life, so exhorbitant and materialized? And why has, almost, everyone made peace with that exhorbitantly materialized idea of fun? A College or an University comprises of students from all walks of life, rich,poor, middle class, upper middle class, lower middle class, etc. Thus, when you endorse the idea of expensive fun, you are isolating the students who cannot afford it from having or enjoying "your idea of fun". Now, many of us will pitch the idea that fun is very subjective a concept, you can have it the way you want,bla bla bla, to which I concede but it should also be considered that here we are discussing about individuals from an age group of 17-23 years, these are emotionally, psychologically and hormonally vulnerable people. They are not mature enough to understand this fact and even if they are, then too they cannot because there exists an emotion called as "feeling left out". When most of the students around them are engaged in something, pursuing something, almost every other person is trying to indulge in that "exhorbitantly materialized idea of fun", then,conciously or unconciously, you are going to feel left out, you cannot avoid it. Everything about this is just so yuckk

Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25. This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

There’s an upbeat song playing through Wren’s speakers right now, an EXCITED smile on his face as an idea forms in his head. Without a second thought, the blond looks over at his companion, standing on his feet and offering his hand out for them. ❝ Come on!! Dance with me!! It’ll be a lot of fun, I promise!!  ❞

Somehow I feel validated.

Been using Android (specifically Samsung) since smartphone come into market.

Somehow in the country where I live in (somewhere in SEA), using iPhone is the gold standard and status of wealth.

Recently went to a wedding with a group of friends, and got our pictures taken from one of my friend's iPhone.

Out of 5, two of us used Android and the rest iPhone able to airdrop.

And I requested my bestfriend if she could send me the pictures separately, which she doesn't mind.

But I got this unsolicited remarks from one of my friend saying, "It's okay, maybe someday you'll be able to use iPhone." Implying that I can't afford it.

And my bestfriend defended me by saying that the current phone I'm using was much pricier than her current iPhone. I'm using Samsung S22 Ultra.

Don't know why we got this kind of mindset and be it Android or iOS, it is just a matter of preference and not your wealth status. I know a lot of rich people who used Android. Even the Managing Partner in my firm who makes a lot of money is using Android.

Meet Red Sky, my party for a heroes mini campaign set in the past of my current campaign! We're quite the strange bunch, but we would do anything for each other.

I play Noose (Nuisance) the mute cattaur soulknife rogue who speaks telepathically with a very heavy Russian accent. The others are Tori, the very large anglerfish triton oath of the sea paladin, Dovah, the dragonsoul necromancer, Cassian, three carnivorous gnomes in an enchanted trenchcoat, and Nym, our starfolk school of tragedy bard!
