If you’ve been holding your breath waiting on reparations, it may be time to head to Oregon. Activists in Portland are throwing a Reparations Happy Hour where black attendees get $10 in cash as reparations, funded mainly by white donors.
The ongoing event, which just kicked off its inaugural gathering this week, is the brainchild of social justice organizer Cameron Whitten, who started the initiative through his new group Brown Hope.
“It’s exactly what it sounds like,” Whitten says. “What I want to do is end the cycle of exploitation. For black, brown, indigenous people you face so many barriers, whether it’s tokenization or straight-up poverty.”
Whitten has no qualms about cashing in on white guilt and says plenty of white people have already donated and signed up to be monthly donors.

This is like the homeless person seeking cash-——if someone is dumb enough to give them money I really don’t care.
.
If that meant sending disgruntled people back to Africa I could probably raise a million dollars in a week.
Times 500!
I’m identifying as black at the moment. They need to mail me my $10. I’ll buy my own 40 of malt liquor with it.
That sounds very condescending and patronizing. Some would call it gauche. As a black person, I would be ashamed to be seen attending such a function with my hand outstretched for a lousy $10 bill. Because heaven knows, I could not earn that on my own without some white liberal setting the stage for me!
That’s RACIST.
Is this satire?
“What I want to do is end the cycle of exploitation.”
Dude...you are volunteering to be exploited.
Stupid stunt to bring indigenous people onto a bar. I’d say the exploitation continues, unabated. Thanks, libtards.
Not much different from welfare, except that apparently only Blacks get benefits.
That account was settled by 1865. The blood of 750,000 Americans and the destruction of half the country are reparations enough, I think.
Wow, reminds me of affirmative action bake sales where the prices depended on your race. Of course that was a conservative effort to fight absurdity by being absurd.
Bus in the homeless. Just for giggles...you can probably find them camping out at local Starbucks.
Think how racist this is. Correct skin color equals money.
Hard to believe any of the black attendees were slaves. Must be really old.
A white liberal and his money are soon parted.
And oh, yeah, I would probably qualify for the $10... I'd give it to the nearest white lady.
How long before the blacks reverse on this and call it white patronization.
You know this is what is going to happen.
They don’t realize it, but this is going to look extremely patronizing to anyone with an objective point of view.
When the supply of money far exceeds the demand, the above applies.
