Your choice:
1) Hannibal the Mule
2) Free one-way ticket to Wakanda

Hurry. You have ten seconds to decide.

On a related note, racist LeVar Burton, the actor who played Geordi La Forge on 'Star Trek: Next Generation', found out he would owe reparations since he's descended from a white Confederate soldier.

My ancestor was a sergeant major in the Northern Army. If they can get reparations, I can get reparations.

many black voters are keen to get checks in the mail, only a fraction think they’ll see such a day in their lifetimes.

I’m calling BS on the following passage. It was, and is, popular among grifters who want to cash the checks, and left wing politicians who wanted to kiss their butts. The public was never behind this

Mike​​​​ Gonzalez, an analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said support for reparations peaked amid the protests over the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

Now, it is waning, he added.

‘Like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Critical Race Theory, anti-racism trainings, and other features of the collective hysteria, the call for reparations has begun to fall apart under intense opposition by the American people,’ he told DailyMail.com.

My ancestors were in the Pale of Settlement. I’m sure there were no blacks there to oppress, but one of them came from White Russia. Obviously a racist. I’ll go get my cowwy bank (pigs not kosher)/s

Some local governments have already paid reparations, with checks in the five figures.

Evanston, Illinois, becomes first U.S. city to pay reparations to Black residents.

Evanston, Illinois, on Monday became the first U.S. city to make reparations available to its Black residents for past discrimination and the lingering effects of slavery.

The Chicago suburb’s City Council voted 8-1 to distribute $400,000 to eligible black households. Each qualifying household would receive $25,000 for home repairs or down payments on property.

The program is being funded through donations and revenue from a 3% tax on the sale of recreational marijuana. The city has pledged to distribute $10 million over 10 years.

Qualifying residents must either have lived in or been a direct descendant of a Black person who lived in Evanston between 1919 to 1969 and who suffered discrimination in housing because of city ordinances, policies or practices.
