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.

For what exactly?!?
Oregon was not a slave state and in fact didn’t even exist when slavery did in the US.
Even if you buy into the premise for reparations, this makes no sense.
My mistake. It was founded 5 years before the end of slavery. But again was a free state so what are they paying reparations for?!?
Excellent point. Thanks!
NOTE:
This bill is strongly supported by the luxury car manufacturers and dealers.
...and a year after enactment of the bill........
