On Tuesday night, a North Carolina county passed a resolution supporting reparations for black residents.
Buncombe County’s resolution states, “Slavery represented an irreconcilable contradiction in our nation’s founding: a young democracy committed to the ideals of liberty and justice and yet actively perpetuating the degradation of Black people. This contradiction – what some have called our nation’s original sin – has yet to be fully addressed and systemic racism continues to this day,” WYFF reported. Another resolution was passed to declare racism a public health crisis.
