Reparations for what? Recreational marijuana is like playing Russian roulette with all chambers loaded. Congratulations.

They will have money to buy more pot. It will be a never ending supply of money and pot.

Prefer to think of that idea similar to having a closed loop from butthole to throat. Blacks paying reparations to blacks? TTF!

I read this and at first I thought it was horseshit
but if its a black community, and they are allowing marijuana into the community, taxing the money and then giving it back to the residents, I'm OK with that.
If they want to call it reparations, fine, its wrong and it won't hold up in court if its challenged. Had they called it anything else, I doubt anyone would have cared.
I actually believe this is what the black community should have done long ago - Casinos, legalized prostitution - basically profit from all the stuff that middle and upper class white communities don't want - and re-invest that money back into the community to improve the lives of its citizens.
If they can build a school, a hospital, a park - and not have to have federal dollars to do it, then I'm all for it.

Somehow I envision the bear in ill health begging for marshmallows at the zoo. How about eastbound cruises instead...one way.

You are correct that there is nothing wrong with this on paper, and that blacks supporting blacks is the way it should be. It is of course not reparations but that is likely just clever marketing. What they will not do is build schools and hospitals or any other basic infrastructure. Most of the money will be stolen and spent on jewelry and flashy cars. People of sub-Saharan African descent are not capable of governing themselves into prosperity. The woman in the photo appears to have a sizable dose of non-black genetics but probably not enough to counter her socialization.

The old "40 acres and a mule" idea might work- - - - -let 'em grow their own pot, sell it, and give their customers the profits so they can buy more dope. Didn't Russia do that with potatoes and vodka? Jerry

Unconstitutional and racist is the way I see it....
(QUOTE) (A committee of residents is currently examining ways to spend the money and how to best support the black community through housing, education and economic incentives. The fund will be capped at $10 million, according to city of Evanston staff reports. City estimates project the marijuana tax could generate $500,000 to $750,000 per year.)

We've BEEN paying reparations for decades.

Food Stamps
Free Housing
Free Obama Phone
Plus they get to keep all the money from drug sales and fencing stolen property Tax Free!
You tell me exactly who is working for whom?
Who are the true slaves now?

12 million slaves were shipped in the Atlantic slave trade. 3.4% came to what became the United States. Yet WE are the evil country. What about the other 96.6%? Crickets…

Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Crickets… And we were the first to declare them free and offer constitutional rights to them. Yet the U.S. is the most evil nation on earth. If you don't believe me just ask a liberal enjoying the freedom here. They'll tell you how bad it is.

So, we have a .gov entity collecting taxes and disbursing said monies to folks based solely on race?
Has the US not passed laws prohibiting such things?
It is about time that affirmative action be tossed out for the racist propaganda it has always been.

Crickets… I think you have a decimal in the wrong place. I think it was closer to 4%. And who sold those slaves to the transatlantic traders?
