That’s a better idea than Midnight Basketball. It’s so crazy it might actually work.

I stand corrected. Interesting read about the “reverse underground railroad”. Thanks for a very interesting look at Illinois history.

my ancestors arrived in pre-colonial days as indentured servants from Ireland. Indentured servant-hood is a form of slavery. If I lived in Evanston would that be worth a cup of copy?

Lining the pockets of the Aldermen?

Whoa. Nice catch. It's going to take a while to sort out who actually qualifies for the money so, in the meantime, well, we'll just hold on to that money for safe keeping.

Perhaps reparations could be paid for by taxing certain products, e.g. Jet magazine.

Ironic considering Evanston was dry until the 1970’s; the first liquor stores opened in the 1980’s.

The liberals are really are getting creative with their terminology to justify redistribution of the taxpayer's wealth from those who have it to those who don't, including their own elitist selves.

First, they start with the obvious, black slavery reparations. But next it could be climate change reparations. Or maybe they'll expand to include other issues like student loan debt reparations. Or disparate housing reparations. Or income inequality reparations. Or LGBT discrimination reparations. Or gun control reparations. Or illegal alien reparations.

The possibilities are endless with the democRATS.

Nothing in life is fair with liberals and they mean to rectify that by giving taxpayer-funded reparations to everyone to appease them for votes and to assuage their own guilt.

Now that’s a paradox: using money from current drug slavery in a pretense of paying for past slavery.

Median family income is $102K and yet 18% black. Make that math work...

I worked in Evanston for a few years and occasionally ‘sidestreeted’ to avoid traffic.

Many very nice parts of Evanston and it is not the gardener or the garbageman with all that melanin.

Some well-to-do areas with many black residents.

How about a tax on criminal conduct, imposed on the basis of race and the incidence of criminality? Or a welfare recapture tax, also imposed by race?

Or a tax on having illegitimate kids, imposed on the basis of race. Or a tax to recover the cost of incarceration, also imposed by race? Just to equal the beans counted, we could add a tax on white meth-heads.

“capped at $10 million”

Just enough for a house for Jesse Jackson Jr.

Does this mean African-Americans who smoke weed will be funding their own slave reparations?

I forsee tax exemptions with a piece of genetic paper for 23andMe.
