that whole 40 acres stuff was only if you were MALE... right? so they are the only ones that can apply now, yes???
I have told EVERYONE who asked me that I identify as Black!
Regards,
Well, I at least hope they tax it as income. That’s when the real uprising will happen.

If this actually gets approved (very doubtful) I predict this is what will happen. Aggressive “cash now” companies like J. G. Wentworth and thousands of less scrupulous ones will descend on the recipients like locusts. Because many of them do not understand how an annuity like this works they will be willing to take a lump sum payment at a huge discount to the future value of the payout. They would get $10,000 or less in cash which is a huge sum to them but the purchaser gets the full payment over time which is like earning 30-40% on their $10,000 outlay. Its a classic example of the “marshmallow” game.
Smart people will make a fortune exploiting the financially naïve once again. How is this just reparations?
Is that how little they think each Black slave was worth? I mean, they kill Black babies, so they clearly don’t value Black Lives very much.
Good use of time by Oregon state senators. It’s not like Portland is under siege or anything.
Seriously, it is extremely hard to prove your ancestors were slaves, and the A-A discriminator is also rough.
1/2 black - Mulatto (lighter black skin, some negroid features)
1/4 black - Quadroon (light black, can be confused with tan, and possibly curly hair.)
1/8 black - Octoroon (that is, someone with family heritage equivalent to one biracial grandparent; in other words, one African great-grandparent and seven European great-grandparents.) Can often pass as white or Hispanic.

Unconstitutional. There is Supreme Court precedent on this. You cannot give someone special rights or privileges based on race or ancestry.
apiece? are they nuts!
And I foolishly thought that all the crazy commies were in Red China, No. Korea, Cuba and academia. Sorry!!!
So that would mean you could save 123K in gov spending simply by killing someone who’s black?
This is actually peanuts compared to what they’d get if they waited a bit longer. This will come to a boil and explode in the next decade. Oregon will get off light. Watch!
Oddly I am 1% black, due to genetic testing. How much do I get?
This is insanity. I was privileged to live in the greatest nation in earths history. My 1% black blood does not give a good damn.

Isn’t asking for proof and documentation reparation suppression?
Seems to me there would have to be PROOF of ANY individuals ancestors as being slaves, and settled in a court of law....wait, this is the dimwits..the rule of law only applies to the right.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to pay $100,000,000 to any living person who could prove they were a slave prior to ratification of the 13 amendment.
For what exactly?!?
Oregon was not a slave state and in fact didn’t even exist when slavery did in the US.
Even if you buy into the premise for reparations, this makes no sense.
NOTE:
This bill is strongly supported by the luxury car manufacturers and dealers.
...and a year after enactment of the bill........
