The article doesn’t mention $2M EACH as the headline reads. But what’s to be expected of anyone living in Ashville?

They don’t think if it was $2M each, that the blacks wouldn’t be heading for their city from other parts of the country?

STUPID LIBERALS!!!

“The commission is expected to make its immediate recommendations on October 1, 2022, with short-term recommendations to follow in March 2023, medium-term recommendations in August 2023, and long-term recommendations in February 2024. The commission’s work is anticipated to close out in April 2024.”

The Community Reparations Commission will next meet from 6 to 8 p.m. Aug. 15 at Harrah’s Cherokee Center - Asheville, located at 87 Haywood St. in downtown Asheville."

Local blacks? What about the Cherokees?

Does that name mean he is indeed part white, which only shows on his sides?

They should get a minimum of 10 million dollars each along with million dollar increases each year. Keeping in mind the Bill the Democrats just passed, may as well destory the Country. The quicker the Country is finished being destroyed. The quicker the rebuilding by the surivivors can begin. Hopefully those who destroyed the Country will be fed to the buzzards and wolves by then.

“”When you look in business, education and look in every other field, we (blacks) have to fight for every inch of what we get””

Looks like they could have done with a bit of education first! Check out Hollywood, you dunce - Pro baseball, Pro football, Pro basketball - they’re all hurting, aren’t they?

Yep. It is one thing to tax everyone, with the same rules for everyone, where the benefits of those tax dollars are realized equally - and another to just take from some racial group and directly give to another. That is just theft through government based on race.

one possible solution to the dilemma of “worthiness” would be to institute a “Black Queen for a Day” youtube program, where black contestants grovel for “reparations” by competing for “worthiness” based on telling the most heart-wrenching tales of woe ... the advantage to such a solution is that all the money would go directly to the “contestants” and could engender tremendous political popularity ...

Lefty official says: “This is going to make our whole community stronger. This is something that will help us heal.”

Racism is racism. It has never “healed” anything.

I don’t get it. Yes, the title is misleading. No need to do that.

As a great grandson of a Union Civil War veteran (181st Ohio), I think my share of any slavery reparations has already been paid.

Look who just got control of $2 million to disburse as it suits him, to build his friends and political power - in perpetuity.

Reparations my hiney. That is power and the exercise of power - funded on your dime.

How much is the local Democratic Party kicking in for Reparations? More than any other organization in the United States, the Democratic Party was responsible for the government policies that held blacks down, terrorized and marginalized blacks. Any talk of Reparations should start and end with what should the Democrats have to pay.

What does that come out to be? A buck fifty seven per descendant of each slave?
