The panel in charge of drawing up New York’s plans for slavery reparations is under fire after it emerged that members attacked black senator Tim Scott, blamed white people for climate change and slammed Israel within days of October 7.
Governor Kathy Hochul urged New Yorkers ‘not to excuse’ the state’s role in slavery as she set up the task force at the end of last year.
But she is facing calls to fire panelist Ron Daniels after he labeled Scott ‘Uncle Tim’ and branded him a front man for white supremacy.
‘Uncle Tim’ Scott, Who Picked Cotton On the Plantation, Is ‘Still On the Plantation,’ Daniels described the black Republican in a 2021 tweet.
‘Picked to Be the ‘Black Face’ To Suppress/Black Power/Black Freedom On Behalf of White Supremacy/White Power and That’s ‘The Cotton Picking Truth’ #BewareofUncleTim.’
