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

[Pearls Before Swine]

Makes sense. Didn’t George Washington have slaves to pick his hemp?

This is complete and utter B S. How about reparations for my people, we were here before the Black skins or the white eyes arrived. How about some handouts for us.
To be honest we don’t want your handouts, every time you’ve given you’ve taken far more. If the tribes do not deserve reparations then no one deserves reparations

[CodeToad]

Seems payments based on skin color violates federal law.

If it doesn’t, then I can pay my white employees more than I pay blacks as long as I call it “Slavery Reparations” for the debt society owes whites from farmers using slaves instead of paying whites.

"what officials believe will improve help the city’s black community."

Wow... The irony of it all..
I mean, maybe they're try create that old elusive thing called the "perpetual engine."

But, then again, maybe it's just that the local drug dealer is on the town council.. :)

[Texas Eagle]

Brilliant!!! Dammit, if i’d’ve suggested that, y’all’d be sayin’, “Where’s the /s tag, dude?”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Illinoise.

The bastion of civic responsibility.

[samtheman]

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

[Texas Eagle]

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

[plain talk]

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

[IndispensableDestiny]

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

[familyop]

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

[Clemenza]

As goes Evanston, so goes Oak Park.

[butlerweave]

Congratulations you’re Black you get Free Money . Degrading and Insulting

[Chode]

90% of them have white blood in them, they should all get DNA tested and only be eligible for the amount of black in them

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Illinois government runs the same businesses as The Mob. Gambling and drugs.

[Larry Lucido]

“capped at $10 million”

Just enough for a house for Jesse Jackson Jr.

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

[Jim Noble]

There are ex-slaves living in Evanston?

They must be really old!

[napscoordinator]

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