Reparations..A Local Solution?

This city is paying reparations of $25,000 to Black residents—they say that's not enough

TOO FUNNY.

• Reparations from the city will only lead to discrimination lawsuits for those who live outside the city.
• Reparations are for housing practices only. Ca-ching. Ca-ching. Ca-ching.
• Blacks will be paying for their own reparations every time they toke up!
• It still ain't enough!
• Evanston will fork out big and end up with a bigger problem than before they started!

Moral of the story: you never appease someone by giving in to their demands. Ask any parent.

Or...your cynical and flawed world view won't happen. People will grow closer as a community..violence will go down. Time will tell.
My point, however..was and is, that local people acting as a community, making decisions as a community..and tell the Fed to fuck off...is a good thing.
The fact that it's pretty much symbolic changes nothing. The fact that I disagree with reparations, at least on the national level changes nothing.

Nothing cynical about the truth.

People will grow closer as a community..violence will go down.

Talk about a flawed view with head in the clouds.

More like the local government.

The fact that it's pretty much symbolic changes nothing.

Just makes it all the more foolish.

That's what he meant by 'not enough'. It's not all about the money, ya know.

Exactly.

Which equates to nothing but non-stop whining from the colored about how they need more.

They should get nothing...
