City Council in Evanston, Ill., voted 8-1 to approve a plan to make reparations available to Black residents

Paid for by a weed tax? Taxing black people to pay other black people for work done by dead black people.

Brilliant.

Anything the government does, its a plan to steal money from us. Makes it alot easier to think about it that way.

the government always uses these "luxury taxes" on particular items to pay for their pork.

seemed like any new tax that passed here for a while was ALWAYS on the back of cigarette smokers, which never seemed fair to me.

especially due to the fact they spend so much money trying to get people to STOP smoking, yet rely so heavily on its incredibly high taxation.

Kamala Harris is not black.

Barack Obama is not black.

They both have white roots.

They had on the news this morning, the one person who did not like the reparations they were proposing.. not because she does not believe in reparations, but she said that it ought to be cash not money for homes that will go to the bank. THEY WANT CASH!

she is an idiot in any case.

Let those 8 foot the bill

Assholes

No kidding.

More free shit for the free shit army.

Evanston used to be a truly nice suburb that turned into a real shit hole by its Dem/left wing extremist/communist leadership and council.

If they are given th money to give to contractor
they will get the work done and REFUSE to PAY.
This is SUCH BULL SHIT
That money should be spent
to send them back to their mother country.

Two words...

Fourteenth Amendment.

Of course, they don't have the foresight to see that once this money starts rolling out, robberies, burglaries, assaults, home invasions, and murder will skyrocket.

Grab your popcorn boys and girls, the show's about to start..

"Mah ancestral mem'ries are coming!!" - to be read in a stereotypical black Southerner's voice for maximum effect.

For those who do not know what our Fourteenth Amendment is:

Louisiana, as we have seen, was its own bizarre world of color, class, caste and slavery. By 1830, in Louisiana, several black people there owned a large number of slaves, including the following: In Pointe Coupee Parish alone, Sophie Delhonde owned 38 slaves; Lefroix Decuire owned 59 slaves; Antoine Decuire owned 70 slaves; Leandre Severin owned 60 slaves; and Victor Duperon owned 10. In St. John the Baptist Parish, Victoire Deslondes owned 52 slaves; in Plaquemine Brule, Martin Donatto owned 75 slaves; in Bayou Teche, Jean B. Muillion owned 52 slaves; Martin Lenormand in St. Martin Parish owned 44 slaves; Verret Polen in West Baton Rouge Parish owned 69 slaves; Francis Jerod in Washita Parish owned 33 slaves; and Cecee McCarty in the Upper Suburbs of New Orleans owned 32 slaves. Incredibly, the 13 members of the Metoyer family in Natchitoches Parish — including Nicolas Augustin Metoyer, pictured — collectively owned 215 slaves.

How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own?

So what do the actual numbers of black slave owners and their slaves tell us? In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people. In his essay, " 'The Known World' of Free Black Slaveholders," Thomas J. Pressly, using Woodson's statistics, calculated that 54 (or about 1 percent) of these black slave owners in 1830 owned between 20 and 84 slaves; 172 (about 4 percent) owned between 10 to 19 slaves; and 3,550 (about 94 percent) each owned between 1 and 9 slaves. Crucially, 42 percent owned just one slave.

Pressly also shows that the percentage of free black slave owners as the total number of free black heads of families was quite high in several states, namely 43 percent in South Carolina, 40 percent in Louisiana, 26 percent in Mississippi, 25 percent in Alabama and 20 percent in Georgia.

"Everybody in our town shall pay for the white guilt we feel!"

Sounds about right. Too bad we can not go around literally branding a "L" onto such white guilt ridden white people's foreheads for good measure.

They'll need a constitutional convention to make this legal.

As it stands now, the 14th forbids reparations.

Confirmation #1,745,632 that blacks are a bioweapon used to bankrupt, balkanize, degenerate and destroy the West.

This will certainly improve race relations.

Excellent.
Getting a P.O.box in Evanston as we speak as I think that is now enough to claim residence if the past election proves anything.
Also,as you can tell my by new screen name addition, I am now eligible fo free shit.

Specifically, it violates Sections 1 and 4:

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

...

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
