Housing is $$$$ and $25K is great but doesn't go too far when you're looking at a minimum of $350K for a decent house.


Then you subtract the cost of custom rims for your '82 Impala and a few bottles Dom for your Reparations Celebration and it sure as hell ain't enough.

Just curious but did their alleged slave ancestors force them not to go to school to create a better life for themselves and their families? You know, 200+ years later?

People wanting more money from the government isn’t a failure to the Marxist left.


Bingo. If you havent caught on yet... The government isnt trying to solve any problems, they're trying to get more people more dependent on government.

And then once they got it, then they would say it's not enough and demand more. Haven't you ever watched the movies that involve a ransom or blackmail? It never ends with first payout.

This is the first phase of a $10 million reparations plan put in place by the Chicago suburb to be paid for with a 3 percent tax on marijuana sales. The initial grants will come from a $400,000 pool.





OK nevermind I support reparations. Lets tax the shite out of rims and use the money for reparations

$25,000 would send nearly anyone in the world back to where their great-great-great grandparents came from.

Take the money. Go home. Please. OR, stay here and be an American.

Responsibility is racist. Plenty of people out there who are irresponsible no matter the color of their skin.

How much will the local politicians be pocketing? Sounds like another slush fund.
