As city and state programs pop up to compensate Black Americans for past harms, two experts are calling the idea of local reparations “an oxymoron.” Rather than refer to programs like Evanston’s as reparations, the authors say they should be called “racial equity initiatives.”
I fully support some form of reparations but only if they are paid by the Dutch, British, French, Portuguese, and Spanish governments, furthermore all the decedents of Jewish, Arab and African slave brokering and ship financiering families should be tracked down and made to pay or face jail time. The country I wouldn’t demand pay is the United States of America who first inherited the problem then sacrificed 700,000+ of it’s own people to end it.

Richard Rothstein’s book, The Color of Law, painstakingly details this collusion. The book was not written to make the case for reparations, but provides 100% the legal basis for reparations. White Americans and immigrants from all over the world… Read more »

Reparations is just the latest fraud that Democrats use to keep Black votes — even though every city run by Democrats has left Black families worse off every year.
And the race hustlers, poverty pimps, grievance grifters, and social justice charlatans are already testing out their new arguments to keep the reparations racket going — even after the Supreme Court — and overwhelming popular opinion — have declared that it’s time to stop fighting racism with racism:
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
