What people don't get is that reparations are not just about slavery. Even after I post this information, there will be idiots posting about slavery and all the usual ignorant comments.

Palm Springs officials approve $5.9M to pay Black and Latino families displaced from neighborhood​

A Southern California city will pay $5.9 million to compensate Black and Latino families who were displaced from a neighborhood in the 1960s and decades later led a fight for restitution.

The Palm Springs City Council approved the deal in a unanimous vote Thursday. The council also approved $10 million for a first-time homebuyer assistance program, $10 million for a community land trust and the creation of a monument commemorating the history of the neighborhood known as Section 14.

Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein earlier this week said the city is “taking bold and important action that will create lasting benefits for our entire community while providing programs that prioritize support for the former residents of Section 14.”

It has not been determined how much each family or individual would receive in direct compensation, attorney Areva Martin said earlier this week. Martin represents over 300 former residents and hundreds of descendants. Money for housing assistance would go toward low-income Palm Springs residents, with priority given to former Section 14 residents and descendants.

Section 14 was a square-mile neighborhood on a Native American reservation that many Black and Mexican American families once called home. Families recalled houses being burned and torn down in the area before residents were told to vacate their homes.

You didn't read your own posted article . The families filed a 2 BILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT and settled for a few million. That is called a lawsuit settlement. I'm always here to help you understand the real world, big fella.

Just a garden variety class action lawsuit settlement. IM2 thinks any lawsuit settlement involving Black people is "Reparations".

Palm Springs is on RENTED land and most of those leases are coming due shortly.
