Asheville approves reparations for its Black residents in historic vote:
Asheville, N.C., has passed an historic reparations resolution. Joel Carillet/iStock A North Carolina city has apologized for its historic role in slavery and racial discrimination, and voted to give reparations to its Black community.
The average white household in the United States has about 10 times the wealth of the average Black household, according to the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances, as a result of generations of red-lining, housing and lending discrimination, and other factors. The median annual income among Black Americans is about $42,000, compared to white Americans taking home around $71,000.
A Community Reparations Commission will be created in Asheville to make recommendations for programs and resources, and it will invite community groups and local governments to join it. “It is simply not enough to remove statutes. Black people in this country are dealing with issues that are systemic in nature,” Young added.Last month, Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson called for $14 trillion in reparations to atone for slavery, government-sponsored discrimination and “permanent emotional trauma” experienced by Black Americans.
