Illinois town plans for slave reparations paid with sales tax from marijuana sales

[Jim Noble]

There are ex-slaves living in Evanston?

They must be really old!

[virgil]

It’s pretty much local history. I only know because my mother grew up down there, and I had visited the Crenshaw house before it closed years ago.

[napscoordinator]

My thought exactly. Kinda funny. Plus, I’d say that it also be deducted from any future funds they may get from this.

[chuckee]

I don’t think they are talking about giving tax revenues directly to blacks as I do not know how they would get around the 14th amendment. I think they are just talking about throwing the money away on phony social programs like midnight basketball.Idiots

[Rockingham]

Even to joke grimly about such propositions reminds us how repellant Leftists are. All of us are more than our worst aspects and do not deserve to be officially categorized on such a basis.

[DoughtyOne]

comedy of errors, next up

[FrdmLvr]

Reparations...once you go down that road, it never ends. Just like affirmative action. Reparations will become another entitlement. They’ll have a bridge card for it, charged up every month.

[Chgogal]

I was a Chicago residential, if you have time, read my tag line. I speak from experience.

[goldstategop]

More shakedown of whitey! We are owed.

[cloudmountain]

It must be mandatory for Dems to be mind-bogglingly stupid, as well as liars.

Simple, pithy and true.
WELL DONE.

[skimbell]

What about those who (and I'm still considering this) identify as black/slave?

[cloudmountain]

My sister lives in Evanston. Alice’s Wonderland makes more sense. For example, a group of girls in my niece’s high school class succeeded in getting out of swimming class in PE by claiming they identified as cats.

I used to teach swimming at the university level.
I would take the non-swimming folks down to the eleven-foot depth and ask them this question:
If your daughter scampered away from you and fell in would you just watch her drown and die or would you also jump in to try to save her and drown and die with her?

Girls are usually FAR more concerned about their hair and their friends.
WOMEN know (we hope) what is important to learn.

[goldstategop]

This is just more gimedat Democrat vote buying disguised as a social justice initiative.

[Grampa Dave]

Idiots/liars, who flunked history are trying to make laws and pass taxes based on idiot history with zero reality as shown below from 1789-1861:

[frank ballenger]

Worst is the wealthy offspring of relatives who captured and kidnapped Africans and sold them into slavery to slave dealers for money. Her name is Kamala Harris.
But others will get reparations as well: Oprah,Michelle,Barack, Stephen Curry ($40.2 million), LeBron James....
If your parents moved here in 1880 to 2019——sorry, you have to pay reparations to make up for slavery in 1800s.

[Kakaze]

All some people have learned is to steal

[fieldmarshaldj]

According to the Nat Geo ancestry thingie, it says I’m African from thousands of years ago, so where muh money at ?

[TianaHighrider]

I tried to save your map and the changes. But it will only save one map. Where or how can I get a copy of each map?

[TianaHighrider]

I found it! Thanks. On Wiki. But your image of changing is really cool.

[ConservaTeen]

Can I identify as Black. I mean if Squaw TalkingBull can identify as Cherokee (my Cherokee polo shirt is more Indian than her), I'm going to identify as Black to get 'FREE' money. 😀
