Chicago is crumbling to the ground. What do the politicians plan to do to fix the problem? Buy votes! The Chicago upper-middle-class suburb of Evanston, Illinois, approved a $10 million reparation package in 2019. The city will now hand out $25,000 to 140 black residents over the age of 18 who lived in the area between 1919-1969. “I see it as like a test run for the whole country,” stated Justin Hansford, head of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center at Howard University.
Of course, they have not properly funded the trial program. Initially, the committee agreed to use taxes from marijuana sales. When that wasn’t enough, they took funding from real estate taxes. They have less than $1.2 million after years of searching for funding and will be hunting down the public for additional taxes. Let’s do the math here — $25K for 140 people is only $3.5 million. Do they need the extra $6.5 million to fund the committee and politicians? The greed from every angle is unbelievable.
Some activists are already complaining that the generous $25,000 free handout is not enough. One woman who received her free check during the initial trial told the New York Post that it is only “a good start.” She blew the entire thing on home renovations and it certainly didn’t heal her ancestral wounds that she needed money to heal. Give an inch, and people will take a mile. Reparations are not economically feasible by any means and creating further inflationary conditions will hurt the dollar in general.
They are creating a racial divide between a small percentage of the country and everyone else. Only a small portion of Americans had ancestors that were slave owners, and even then, the law does not expect future generations to pay for the misdoings of the past. The nation is crumbling because we are divided on everything from race, religion, sexuality, and politics. We use every term to define ourselves other than “Americans.” The average person is struggling to make ends meet as living prices have become unsustainable. There will be a civil war if people are expected to give others their hard-earned money without reason. These politicians are creating an upheaval by using tax dollars to buy votes and it will not end well.

Wait! it’s not enough? Man, I didn’t see that coming.
Good, now they can pay off their college student loans.
Bwahahaha!
Cotton grows in concrete? Who knew?
Give a stupid person $5 million and he will wind up face down in a pool in Rialto.
All you can do with Stupid is stand back and admire it.
On the other side of that balance sheet are the trillions of dollars that the tax slaves of the USSA have paid into; programs across the spectrum, from welfare, WIC, Head Start, medicaid and every other federal state and local money-pit programme to help the Blacks in ‘Murka.
NO REPARATIONS WITHOUT REPATRIATION!
I would chip in a lot for repatriation.
They can’t afford 10 gallons of paint for a dilapidated 100 year old house but they’re gonna give niggers more freebies. It’ll be a good day at Golden Corral, the liquor store and the hair weave store.
Maybe Black people will repay the Whites by not stealing things during the next Black history month.
Wouldn’t that dishonor Black history, though?
…stimulus money for the Cadillac dealerships.
Except for maybe a few students at Northwestern, there are no black people in Evanston, IL.
Evanston has been predominately black for decades, the only whites there are uber-liberal. I can remember playing HS basketball against Evanston in a summer league, my team could barely get a shot off against their blacks, one of them eventually had a cup of coffee in the NBA. My HS football team was ranked #1 in the state and was gonna face Evanston, but I told friends if it got into a track race, we’d lose – I knew Evanston was black, they didn’t.
We lost.
So the solution to blacks stealing, raping and murdering everything in sight is to give them cash?
Ransom
It worked for the Romans with the Barbarians, until it didn’t.
Reparations from Whites to repay Blacks is a good idea, but it needs to be fair. The best way I can think of is to only include people (White payers or Black recipients) in the program if they were adults in 1865.
Means-testing is our friend.
The Kansas City city council is talking about reparations. Meanwhile, people in Jackson County, where KC is situated, are going nuts because property taxes are through the roof. In some instances houses were assessed at way more than double what they were. I’m wondering if that’s how they plan on getting some $$ for reparations.
Why not just give them california and build a fence around it.
Why not send them back to Africa? It’s not like they’re going to able to build their own boats and come back.
So the recipients will likely spend their reparations immediately, on consumer goods and services. This will be a boost to the national economy and some of it will come back to the goobermint in sales and income taxes. Evanston
has been a very wealthy community forever. Let them assuage their white guilt. Same for Caliland. The stupidity makes one laugh.
This is what to expect when non-whites are in charge.
In South Africa, Whites are like 7 or 8% of the population, they pay 90% of the taxes, and the niggers spend all the tax revenue on themselves.
Strange, after all the hoopla haven’t heard much from CA Democrats lately on the reparations. I’m sure everyone on that commission will get tenured positions, grants and state jobs.
Take the cash and move to California.
Rich White people buying Black people…who says history doesn’t repeat…
