‘Reparations’ for Black Residents

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 3/23/2021 2:31:47 AM

The liberal Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois, officially approved the first spending for “reparations” for black residents on Monday evening. It is the nation’s first reparations program, following an 8-1 vote by local aldermen in November 2019.As Breitbart News noted at the time, the City of Evanston planned to fund the reparations with a new 3% marijuana tax: Local leaders eye marijuana dispensaries as an attractive source of revenue to reverse what they call the ongoing impact of institutional racist and persisting effects of slavery, according to the Chicago Tribune. “The fund will be capped at $10 million,

They'll end up paying out taxpayer money to every grifter with a half-baked sob story who will cry 'RACISM' if you don't believe it! And it won't matter that they say they're capping the fund at $10 million. This is a really BAD move!

Interesting concept. Give them marijuana money proceeds to buy more marijuana. Self fulfilling proficiency. In other words, keep them stoned all the time.

A minority living in Evanston has already escaped the inescapable. The argument for some need in there of all places is ridiculous. The only people who "need" this are priivalaged rich white kids who need to boost their egos by taking other peoples money and handing it to a designated victim. You want to do something real? Help the kids in the Austin district or Englewood get into charter or private schools.

It would be cheaper and easier if you gave them all big screen televisions and free access to espn sports channels. It's what Obama would do with his work day. How can they prove they have slave ancestry, just have dark skin? I guess just being white makes one an ancestor to a slave owner. This is a dumb move the left is going to run through that 1.9 trillion fast this must be some of it.

"Legal" Marijuana costs the consumer twice what the black market charges. In order to keep the Feds out of the loop, in order to purchase "Medical" marijuana, one must pay a physician for a prescription, then the State for a Registration Card, then the dispensary for the product. The prescription and registration card need to be renewed bi-annually, so the price of the product is quite expensive.

Not quite, Joel. LBJ preempted Evanston by a little over 50 years. The so-called Great Society was euphemistic for reparations. And that $10M cap won't last more than a year... It'll be ten times that less than 10 years from now.

Researchers in Mexico have sniffed out a new COVID-19 mask designed for people to wear only over their schnozes while they eat, according to a report Wednesday.The nose masks — worn under a full mask with similar behind-the-ears straps — were unveiled in a demonstration video where a man and woman sit down for lunch, according to Reuters.In the video, the pair takes off their normal masks to reveal their nose-only gear before chowing down at an outdoor table.Some observers cheered the idea on Twitter, saying it would “reduce transmission” while others poked fun of its goofy look.

The program is the latest experiment with a “guaranteed income,” an idea that giving poor people a set amount of money each month helps ease the stresses of poverty that often lead to poor health while hindering their ability to find full-time work. The idea isn’t new, but it’s having a revival across the U.S. after some mayors launched small, temporary programs across the country in
