My understanding is that Keyes is against reparations, but was for tax cuts for those who could PROVE they were descendant of slaves. If I'm wrong, could you provide me a quote and a source?

BTW welcome to FR, your welcoming present is the assignment of backing up your assertions, not just repeating democratic jargon that was thrown around Illinois by the Obama camp.

Perhaps YOU should do some "homework" and read down the thread; he already did that.

Thank you for the welcome.

I don't see how the rest of your post relates to mine. Documentation of slave ancestors isn't the point. I assume that.

The more affluent and successful a descendant of slaves, the greater the reward in the form of tax cuts. That doesn't make sense to me.

I considered his statements weasel-worded...not reparations, just money they would not otherwise have.

And, as I stated in another post, the money comes out of my pocket unless there are budget cuts that equaled the cost of the program.
