A Chicago suburb has become the first in the nation to approve reparations to black residents whose families suffered lasting damage from decades of discriminatory practices.
Evanston established its reparations program - the first of its kind in the US - in 2019, committing $10 million over a decade using funding from the city's three per cent tax on recreational marijuana sales.
...
Black residents are eligible for the housing program if they, or their ancestors, lived in the city between 1919 and 1969 or if they can show they suffered housing discrimination due to the city's policies.
...
The burgeoning national movement has gained traction amid a reckoning on racial inequity following the police killing of George Floyd and other black Americans last year
...
Other cities, including Chicago; Providence, Rhode Island; Burlington, Vermont; Asheville, North Carolina; and Amherst, Massachusetts, have launched initiatives, though none has yet identified specific funding.
...
Private institutions have also announced campaigns. The Jesuit order of Catholic priests last week pledged $100 million to benefit the descendants of the enslaved people it once owned.

It’s no longer about Reparations for Slavery, but for Jim Crow and other post-slavery discrimination.
The goalposts always get moved with The Left.
We’ll see how many people are eligible and how small that slice of the pie becomes.
I’d be interesting to see how many applicants try to fraudulently slip in. I doubt we’ll see that number.
And two weeks later it’ll be gone for a good many of the recipients. Sad, but true.
I thought reparations were for the descendants of slaves ???
Well...aren’t you silly...
They’re saying black lives are only worth $25,000. That’s racist.
Some guy looked at me funny on April 23, 1972. I want reparations!
This is just the start. The whole goal is to destroy the West and crush any whites who believe in our founding and Constitution. They will attempt to beat what they perceive as the ‘whiteness’ out of us.
The headline writer needs to learn the difference between “ancestors” and “descendants”.
Imagine how different USA would have been if slaves were never imported.
Yep and they're never satisfied with a damn' thing either.
The abject stupidity of this here in the demokratic people's republik of Hellinois (DPRH) keeps getting worse and worse.
Just when you think they cannot possibly get any dumber or more insane, they accept that as a challenge to do even more insane and stupid things.
Oh, and let’s not forget the Irish.
It sounds self funding to me.
Should have picked our own cotton

Baizuo.
Lots of potential Northwestern Students.
Lots to pay out. Marijuana taxes won’t cover it
Prove your ancestors were discriminated against.... the burden of proof must be a very low bar, indeed. Only in the Peoples Republic of Illinois.
