Democrat state senators in Oregon have introduced legislation to pay black Oregonians $123,000 in reparations.
The bill would have the Department of Revenue establish a reparations payment program to residents “who can demonstrate heritage in slavery” and have identified as “African-American” for at least ten years.
The Daily Wire reports that “according to a copy of the state Senate bill, the government will pay six figures to any person who can demonstrate that they are a descendant of American slaves and have “identified as African-American” on legal documents.”
In order to qualify for the reparations, a person must live state for at least two years before the application deadline of Dec. 31, 2022.

so they are the only ones that can apply now, yes???
Unconstitutional. There is Supreme Court precedent on this. You cannot give someone special rights or privileges based on race or ancestry.
apiece? are they nuts!
Elizabeth Warren reads your post and nods in silent approval. “Nez Perce? Oh, my goodness. That really takes me back to my childhood years!”
Yes they’re nuts.
we had our DNA done and looks like the old man has a smidge, and i do mean smidge, African in him.
Governor Northam will be all over this!!!
And I foolishly thought that all the crazy commies were in Red China, No. Korea, Cuba and academia. Sorry!!!
So that would mean you could save 123K in gov spending simply by killing someone who’s black?
Might not be a smidge. Confessions of some of the DNA analysts included a funny factor of including a 1-2 % negro in the result just to screw with people. Might want another test.
why would they do that? so everybody is black now??
This is actually peanuts compared to what they’d get if they waited a bit longer. This will come to a boil and explode in the next decade. Oregon will get off light. Watch!
If they were smart, they’d put it all towards their mortgage.
Good luck with that.
Oddly I am 1% black, due to genetic testing. How much do I get?
This is insanity. I was privileged to live in the greatest nation in earths history. My 1% black blood does not give a good damn.

Isn’t asking for proof and documentation reparation suppression?
Reparate this:
U.S. Civil War spending (2019 dollars): $68.17 billion
U.S. Civil War union deaths: 360,222
Seems to me there would have to be PROOF of ANY individuals ancestors as being slaves, and settled in a court of law....wait, this is the dimwits..the rule of law only applies to the right.
But few will.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to pay $100,000,000 to any living person who could prove they were a slave prior to ratification of the 13 amendment.
