“Show Me The Money!”
I say it yet again…….modern descendants of slaves would never have been born if it were not for slavery. Slavery is what brought their ancestors together to procreate. Out of bad comes good sometimes and people should recognize how they personally have benefited from slavery in America. They received the ultimate reward…….life.
Interesting info.
“Evanston was historically a dry city, until 1972...”
“Evanston was mainly uninhabited, consisting largely of wetlands and swampy forest...”
Which is it?
And much of the Chicago area near Lake Michigan was not farmable, including the northern part where Evanston is located. Most of the good farmland is West, South and a little bit North of the city.
On the reparations front, older cemeteries in Illinois are full of the graves of 16-to20 year-olds who died in the Union Army during the Civil War. Hopefully, the City of Evanston will impose a tax on the Northwestern endowment funds to fund the reparation payout. So far, it seems all of the latest round of wacky liberal spending is just a way to launder all of the COVID spending that the federal government approved back in 2020-2022.
We lived in Evanston in the ‘60s. Delightful place then — of course many places were. Strange to see it take such. a long slide downhill. Big sigh.
i.e., people who today are known as white supremacists.
Idiots! Illinois was never a slave state.

“there are people who are recognizing people of color”
Like all those white Christian soldiers buried in places like Arlignton and Antietem?
I’m here to speak for whitey. What about all of our descendents that came over here were free. Hell no! Some were indenture servants. I say, “Reparations for every one!” What about those poor whites that couldn’t afford slaves? (Angry mob in the background.) Why should reparation be about the color of your skin? It was the invisible white indentured servants that built America. Us poor Anglo-Americans.
If you’re on SSI, which is disability for people who don’t have enough work credits to qualify for SSDI, you are only allowed to have $2000 in assets plus a vehicle of any value.
