It was former 3rd Ward alderwoman Dorothy Tillman of Chicago who stated in her motion for reparations for slaves, “ Keep your 40 acres and a mule, We want a Lexus”

Dorothy ‘The Hat’ Tillman was endorsed by Barak Obama in the 2007 Chicago runoff election which she lost.

Spot on! Or as one wag put it - Reparations: Extortion paid by white people who were never slave owners to blacks who were never slaves.

Thanks KeyLargo. Ironically, Emanuel pleaded for everyone to be realistic.

Yeah I remember her all too well. She was such a loon she should have been in Congress.
