To cover the payment of reparations to local blacks for what was termed injustices from the past, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners on July 17 voted unanimously to approve $2 million in its fiscal 2023 budget — and to add $500,000 to future reparations budgets, with an annual increase of 2 percent.
The county reparations budget approval followed the City of Ashville’s commitment — also on a unanimous vote — to an initial reparations investment of $2.1 million in its 2022 budget — and included an additional allocation of $500,000 for 2023.
“We are at the intersection of yesterday, today and tomorrow,” Commissioner Al Whitesides said, according to a county press release. “This is going to make our whole community stronger. This is something that will help us heal.”

My post was Tonge in cheek....

Crazy Al WHITEsides says we’re at “the intersection of yesterday, today and tomorrow.” Whitey does sound very bright.
Never fear
Liberal and neocon mindset today from national review etc is that scots Irish
Those pioneers were essentially responsible for slavery in the USA
Books on it just came out
Utter bullshit but it serves the purpose
Relegate white southerners to the white South African woodshed of blame
Daily planet who knows ?
"Wit'cha broke ass!"
The left doesn’t pay any attention to the constitution - nor the rule of law. They do what they want, expect a lashback, wait until that cools down and just keeps going. They do not see themselves as accountable to anyone.....and if you try they’ll fry your butt.
White genes are more valuable reparations than $$
Al WHITEsides is Black? He should have recused himself from this scam. Oh well. The idiots elected him. Elections for Dummies do have consequences. Go get ‘em Ashville. LOL!
Many ARE in politics.
“Is this really reparations?”
I don’t care how much they give, IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH AND THERE WILL BE NO BOTTOM TO THIS MONEY PIT.
A LOT! My mother is in a wonderful assisted living facility in a part of Asheville. When I get off the exit there are people begging with signs Everywhere! I do keep food packets in my car for when I see much older people. I also pack dog food when I see someone with a dog. That kind of stuff breaks my ❤️.
But then you have these young people begging. Get a job. Asheville has become a huge mess.

Affirmative action since th2 60’s ...
What about the Indians?
The ultimate way to further deteriorate ethnic relations.
The money will be gone in a matter of months and those who received it will be no better off.
If someone has no financial discipline, no amount of the money in the world will last.
Thanks ‘lbj’. Only 150+/- years to go. Remind me, which party is racis’ again?
