“descendants of black slaves.”

How in the world would that be determined?

By producing ID, of course, at least according to Oregon Senate Bill 619 (https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2021R1/Measures/Overview/SB619) which says:

A BILL FOR AN ACT Relating to reparations for slavery. Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon: SECTION 1.

1. The Department of Revenue shall establish a program to pay reparations to Black Oregonians who can demonstrate heritage in slavery and who submit an application to the department no later than December 31, 2022.
2. A person is eligible for reparations under this section if the person demonstrates that the person:
   1. Is descended from an American slave;
   2. Has identified as African-American on legal documents for at least 10 years before the date of the application;
   3. Is at least 18 years of age, an emancipated minor or a ward, as defined in ORS 419A.004, whose parents are deceased or for whom parental rights have been terminated and have not been reinstated; and
   4. Has resided in Oregon for at least two years before the date of the application.
3. The department shall pay to each eligible applicant the amount of $123,000 in the form of an annuity payable annually for the life of the applicant.
4. Reparations paid under this section and the right of a person to an annuity under this section are exempt from garnishment and all state, county and municipal taxation, except as provided under ORS chapter 118, are not subject to execution, garnishment, attachment or any other process or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law and are unassignable.
5. The department may adopt rules to implement this section

So goes Oregon, so goes the country?

You presented important and useful information for this argument.

So after Americans said “Gosh if only we could turn into California” now they’ll say they want to live like they do in Portland, Oregon. /s

Old Jim Rohn joke was America is the great place others want to be. “You don’t hear people say if only I could sneak across the border at night and get into Poland.” After reparations and inflation and the coming war, Poland or even Ukraine sound a little bit better.

Hold on a second here: how is this not racist? I mean c'mon man, blacks can't even have a proper legal ID to show before voting! /sarcasm
