So is this for slavery or housing discrimination?

Those qualifying had to be at least 18 and living in the city between 1919 and 1969...
So, in other words, they have to be at least 54. Sounds to me like this is a way to help elderly black residents who have nothing other than Social Security to keep them going.

I guess all the dead and maimed union soldiers are not reparations enough for their sorry black asses.

If I were the descendant of a union soldier, I would be pissed off.

Absolutely unconstitutional. It will NEVER survive a court challenge.

“So, in other words, they have to be at least 54.”
Thanks. I was wondering what a “qualified” black person was.
I figured it meant the one drop rule, or at least he or she had to be approved by the man.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Is there anyone out there taking these racist payouts to court? You can’t find any government action that is more racist than this.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Evanston, IL is the start of the “North Shore” (high end) group of suburbs along Lake Michigan immediately north of Chicago. Residential real estate taxes are high in that town, especially since Northwestern University is property tax-exempt (their estimated share would be about $6m a year if they were to pay). An ultra-liberal town with a long history of bleeding heart activities. No surprise on this initiative; as it gets worse, those with money will start to evaporate and the rest, you already know. Illinois, the place where common sense and sanity has long left and the unions, parasites of all kinds and ages, flourish. Another part of Illinois where people are quietly leaving the state.

What could possibly go wrong?
Hope those 140 recipients don’t have their names and addresses published.
They likely to get unreparated.

6 months to a year from now-grinning politician speaking to MSM:
"We really don't know why the reparations money didn't make it to the people it was intended for. We are looking into it."

If I were the descendant of a union soldier, I would be pissed off. I am a descendant of a Union soldier. And funny thing, he was from Alabama.
And yes, the reparations BS pisses me off.

Dimm math at work here. The youngest that anyone who lived between these years can be is 53 or 54 years old. Was the "at least 18" necessary? Perhaps they're justifying it on segregation. A slippery slope. I thought it was supposedly about slavery.

Maybe it’s time to start selling drugs now, I bet the cartels are happy about this. I even have a New Name for this program:
The Drug Cartel Support Act
which is where all of the money will go to...
