evanston, il 76k residents 44 are black, that's a typical chicago suburb.

we lived in geneva, il west burbs for 3 years, my son's high school 1700 kids, 7 were black.

lilly white doesn't even begin to describe it.

while you may not need an id to vote you better have one on the 4th of july if you want to enjoy their beaches on lake michigan, evanston residents only.

Slavery was legal in Illinois until 1818. When it was made illegal to buy and sell slaves, those who were already slaves were grandfathered in and remained slaves.

And they had “Black Codes” from 1818-1865. Technically not slavery but in some cases worse. Illinois kept and maintained the most discriminatory policies leading up to and beyond the Civil War.

That’s like paying child support to a woman with no kids who you never slept with.


It's not a big deal if someone provided the money and someone else actually paid it over to the woman. And you like what the woman does for you.

Federally. It is supposed to become federal law making delta 8 and 9 illegal toward the end of 2026.

The alcohol industry paid enough Republican politicians to put this into a bill.

And I’m a Republican.

Will the city pay the offspring of these people in perpetuity? Evanston, you have a problem.

Serious question, how do they determine who is black or not black? It seems kind of arbitrary.


Yeah, I heard race is a social construct.

So basically the 44 blacks who will receive the money don't really need it.

That is the progressive/democrat mindset perfectly. It not about helping it's about looking like you are helping.
