A far-left group in New York is demanding reparations from the state government, citing a significant wealth disparity between Black and White residents, with Blacks' median wealth nearly 15 times less than Whites'. The organization argues that this historical debt is owed to Black New Yorkers due to the state's ties to slavery and systemic racism. The group is pushing for statewide reparations as part of their civil rights agenda.
