Always a handful of “gimme” and a mouthful of “not enough.”
Slavery ended in 1864. Jim Crow ended i 1964.
There’s nothing left to reperate.
Reparations is the racial resentment motherlode, which is the Left’s sustenance.
Catch: Must prove you were a slave in the 18th or 19th Centuries, after passage of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and before certification of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution on December 18, 1865.
Good luck.
No matter how much is paid, it will never be enough. So the best solution is to do nothing for them.
I wouldn’t approve a slavery reparations bill without an exclusionary clause saying that ONCE you accept “slavery reparations” you can never accept another slavery reparation from ANYONE ELSE at any other time, without proving a distinct and separate, contemporary personal incident of slavery. Only one bite at the reparations apple!
Did I hear you say that there must be catch?
But there is a catch...
Right.
Like - after getting the money, they have to move out of Illinois, and never come back?
Evanston is named after John Evans, the minister of Indian Affairs at the time of the Sand Creek Massacre and one of the founders of Northwestern University. It’s only a matter of time before Evanston is on the hook for reparations for that little episode; those Northwestern students had better start increasing their legal weed consumption, as those reparation payments are only going to multiply - liberal guilt has no limits, especially when somebody else is picking up the tab.

What if I am half black? Or 1/8th black. Should we dig up the guides from those folks back in the 30’s who established your “quality of life” based on “how Jewish” people were?
Oddly enough all the prices in City of Evanston, IL shot skyward overnight ... strange ... what could have caused that?
I predict a spike in illegal drug sales.
Did Illinois or Evanston, Ill. ever allow slavery?
Moving the goalposts as the argument about slavery falls apart when examined in detail.
You can't make this Mitt up...
The Headline should read “Far Left Crime Ridden City of Evanston” The City is a complete hell hole - worse than Gary, In Two people were gunned down in the middle of day last week - yes, the usual Amish suspects involved.
> Black leaders warn it’s not enough.
Then cancel it. Is it even constitutional? What if someone identifies as black but has biological parents of European descent?
They should get nothing.
ROTFLMAO. If you aren’t in the illegal drugs business yet, you better get busy. The big bucks are about to start flowing.
