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.
Every former slave should be given reparations.
What’s that?
They are all dead? Every single one? And all their kids too?
Well that sucks.
Guess you guys should focus on getting a job.
April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783
American Revolutionary War/Period!
When did the American Revolution end?
The Treaty of Paris was signed on September 3rd, 1783, by representatives of King George III including David Hartley and Richard Oswald and the United States including Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, officially ending the conflict.

Ah, but this particular reparations bill has nothing to do with slavery. It’s supposedly meant to right previous wrongs due to city housing policies. That would be easier to prove than a slavery harm, but it’s a very slippery slope nonetheless.
Anyway, why should a marijuana user have to pay to correct some “harm” that he had literally nothing to do with?
