That's a joke. If anybody gets anything it should be the Japanese families that were in the internment camps during WWII

Did Oregon even have large amounts of slavery?

And maybe this will make a bunch of people move there...

Good ole FDR. He interned the Aleuts too. Biggest offender of liberty ever in the USA.

This may be a dumb question, but how does one prove they are a descendent from an American slave?

I would love to track each person that gets the money.

I bet 90% easily lose every penny and do not do one thing to make themselves wealthier by having it

Strangely enough, the Black population in Oregon will jump from 150 to 2.75 million in the week after this is approved.

Progressives have no clue how people function. They've just decided this will fix everything without anything to back it up.

Sounds like a total of 123K not each year


Since there's only 5 black people in all of Oregon, this actually wont cost the state government too much.

If this passes, will we see a great migration to Oregon by those that are eligible for this free liberal white guilt money?

So it's much more like if you did something racist or shitty a few years ago and felt bad about it - you'd go apologize.


I see what you’re saying now, I agree. I misunderstood your earlier post somehow.


No worries at all

If reparations do become popular nationwide, my proposal would be that the government pay reparations to all the people who were fricked out of jobs by NAFTA. The town I grew up in has been completely destroyed by the textile and timber industries vanishing. Of course that won't ever happen, but anything that even vaguely resembles the government doing good for its citizens rather than its largest corporate donors is a win in my book.

Cool. Now, knock off any government assistance already accepted and tally it up. I'm betting some just call it even.
