A Democratic city council member in Denver has just proposed a measure that could be considered among the most racist in the modern era.

“Candi CdeBaca advocated this week for taxing white-owned businesses and giving that money to black and brown-owned businesses as a form of reparations,” the Daily Wire reported.

In 2019, CdeBaca openly expressed her communist views, stating her belief in “community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources” and was “excited to usher it in by any means necessary.”

The outlet reported further that CdeBaca, during the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance Forum on Thursday, that “capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen resources.

“And a check today could not undo the cumulative impact of generations of that stolen wealth in all of those categories,” she added. “And so I think it has to come in the form of land, labor, and resources in an ongoing fashion. And there are structures that we have that could be flipped to begin to do that with reparations.”

CdeBaca criticized an economic development plan for the Five Points neighborhood, alleging that it would be harmful to local businesses by increasing taxes.

“Instead of a bid collecting extra taxation from the black and brown businesses that are struggling, you could be collecting those extra taxes from white-led businesses all over the city and redistributing them to black and brown-owned businesses, who are not part of the bid, or who are simply just black or brown owned,” she said.

“And that’s one way to give back in the business form fashion. I think when we talk about resources being returned, this is where consumer-owned or municipally-owned resources are important,” she said.

CdeBaca has also called for handing out checks “in an ongoing fashion” to persons of color as a form of reparations.

“And we need to go far beyond welfare wages and go to prosperous wages because we don’t want to just survive anymore and reparation’s goal should not be survival, it should be repairing the harm, which is this entire economy,” she claimed.
