A liberal Massachusetts town has created a fund that will be used to pay reparations to eligible black residents to “repair past harms” it committed against them or their ancestors.
The Amherst Town Council voted 12-1 earlier this week in favor of establishing the fund, council clerk Athena O’Keeffe confirmed.
No money is in the fund yet, but town finance officials have proposed a plan to put $210,000 in the account later this year, the Daily Hampshire Gazette reported.

12 to 1? I’m surprised, there is a sane person on Amherst’s council!! 🤓
“Oddly enough, there really aren’t that many blacks in Amherst.”
Usually this kind of virtue-signaling is to ensure that trend continues.
Just damn ridiculous.
Please correct me if I am wrong here; I don’t think the massHOLES in Massachusetts were ever a slave holding state.
It’s got to be something in the air or water in that state that makes people SO STUPID!
If I was a self made, successful afro American, nothing would offend me more than this crap.
...but, I am one of those Whiteys who never took a single handout in the guise of welfare, and, truth be told, I never even recieved a week’s worth of an unemployment check.
Remember when Massachusitts was the seat...the beginning... of the Revolutionary War.
How far they have come.
Birth place of America is now the crapper of America
Yup!
Absolutely. There will be no end to it.
Worse, you’ll get stories of people who meet the criteria for “reparations” not getting anything and people who don’t meet the criteria milking it.
