A man in Tampa, Florida, wants the city to hand out $3 million in reparations for each Black resident.

"No Black person cares about them speed bumps or parks and recreation," the man, who is Black but was otherwise unidentified, said during Thursday's City Council meeting. "What Black people care about is our reparations. This city owes us, each and every Black person in the city of Tampa, at least $3 million in reparations."

He continued: "That's what's important. All this nonsense y'all talk about—all this nonsense, homelessness and all this other garbage y'all talk about, police violence and all this stuff—don't nobody care about that. We care about our reparations and we have to put white people on notice that we want our reparations."
