Isn't this a little like.........

Plugging your power bar into itself and hoping for free energy!!!!!!

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!

Finally!!

A perpetual motion machine. Slaves on dope.

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.

This whole thread has me jonesin for some grape soda.

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.

One look at that Astounder in Chief tells you everything you need to know.

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?

That’s like ingins owning a brewery. Wtf.

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.

Welfare

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…

Ya have ta take a piss test to get a job 95 times outta 100 to pay taxes in this nation and EARN a living.

Dont have ta to be on welfare as a way of life and vote for Liberal Socialist Democrat politicians .


Whats wrong with this picture.


Thanks LBJ.......
Your great society programs end game is fugging working......

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.

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?

CMCSS teachers do not have to take a piss test

The guys that mop floors, fix the air conditioners and do the mowing have to fill the cup.

from the article:

"Officials say the program will help the city’s black population stay in Evanston while also providing training for jobs and other benefits."

The answer is right in front of their face, and they can't see it!

You can’t help those people.

PREZACTLY!

You are right, I fixed it. Thanks,

Not to mention the cost of the three hots and a cot we spend keeping a sizeable portion of them from hurting themselves and others.

It is both. Curious to see how it plays out.

Question is How are the Casinos working out for the Indians. Hasbeen

I would think a more desirable objective would have been to encourage the city's black population to leave Evanston.

New wave of carpetbaggers. Pure and simple. It’s a horrible idea to legalize the stuff anyway, more so in a suffering community.

But follow the big money, the pot store owner is one happy f’cker. He/she won’t give a SCHIT about the tax and will happily pay it.

King Cannabis

Fugging teachers union schitt....

So they can become a problem somewhere else? Like when our Hurricane Katrina refugees went to Texas? A bunch of them became residents of Texas jails. I bet they still cuss us.

HAHAHAHAH, case closed.

My thoughts exactly..they can't leave the ganja alone!

Yes, it's called LBJ's war on poverty.

kwg

LBJ was another commie!

Yep. Somebody needs to dig that POS up and kick his ass.

You'll get a lot of doo-doo on your boots if you do that.

LBJ's legacy is that he never finished any of the wars he started, nor did he choose his fights wisely.

Billions and billions of dollars have been spent trying to help the Negro get over the affect of being enslaved.......and has it worked?.........No, it has not.

Why not?.......Has it ever occurred to anyone that the Negro just might not have the ability to compete with the White race on an even playing field. Or, for that matter, even on a playing field that's been tilted in the Negroes favor.

Old Abe Lincoln was only right about one thing.......the freed slaves should have all been returned to Africa.

Or maybe that billions and billions have been spent to enslave blacks even more? Pandering carpetbaggers didn’t just go away.

Has it ever occurred to you that slaves were essentially “turned out” like cattle after the war? How about the 200 year “head start” that the “white race” had in a country built with essentially free labor? So build subsidized housing...have a look at who OWNS it, not who’s living there.

Of course then there’s the years of “no colored’s” in certain bus seats, restaurants, etc, etc. I reckon that shouldn’t make a difference either.


You really are a dumb phuqqin racist idiot. I hope you don’t have children.

I am Gen X, I grew up in an era where Michael Jordan was the greatest athlete, Eddie Murphy was the biggest star and Michael Jackson was hailed as the King of Pop. Jessie Jackson made a legitmate run for the presidency.

The civil rights act was 2 years before I was born. Every black American I grew up with had the same opportunities as me, and in many cases, moreso - my white ass didn't have a shot to get into an Ivy League school under the premise of diversity. I was going to be looked over for a cushy government job and there were no scholarships for just being born a poor white male

I'm now in my 50's. I say to any black American 60 or younger - you grew up in an era where you could voluntarily join the military and be treated as an equal (the marines hate everyone equally), could have your post military education or vocational paid for, could have attended any college in America you were academically qualified for (and some you weren't because of the color of your skin), and given preferential treatment for state and federal jobs.

It doesn't matter that your parent(s) were poor, it doesn't matter that your grandparents suffered under Jim Crow laws, or that a white cop pulled you over for a busted taillight last week - the America you grew up in offered you the same opportunity for success as it did any other American. Equal Opportunity does not mean Equal Outcome. If you worked hard, developed your talent and conformed to the norms of society, you got ahead - the same rules apply across the spectrum

So I whole heartedly say take that reparations mentality and shove it up your ass. Look around your community, look at your elected officials who represent you - what have they done to prepare their consituents for progress in this century? What have you done to break the cycle of race victmization. If not, then look around outside your community, there is no shortage of white people who have wasted that same opportunity.

Here's the real truth, if you are one of those people that squandered your opportunities in life, handing you a check for $50K won't make a damn bit of difference in your life. A wealthy white guy will have that $50K in his bank account within 2 years and you'll still be looking out your window at some [bleep] neighborhood talking about how something that happened 20 years before you were born is the reason you don't have a future.

Life is hard, its gets a lot harder if all you do is sit around waiting for someone to give you something you think you are owed instead of living a life being dedicated to responsibility.

If that attitude makes me a racist, then so be it, I welcome the label. There has to be a expiration limit on blacks using a tired excuse of racism as to why they won't integrate into society. I don't know when it ended, but I know it didn't go a day past Obama elected president.

Wait a minute....I've heard Africa was the cradle of civilization. That means they had a head start, no? They were slave owners before Columbus found a new world, right? Who's on first?

This chitt is really confusing, but I agree with KWFA even if he is a youngster. Well mostly anyway. Mike Jordon was good, Eddie Murphy was funny, those other two were azzholes.

Very good post.

Wow.............I guess the truth hurts you, doesn't it? The billions and billions spent were supposed to help the Negro, and make it easier for him to "compete" with Whites. When it was obvious that it wasn't working, and never would, such things as Affirmative Action and quotas became the name of the game, not to mention colleges lowering the admission standard for the Negro.

None of that has worked........and it's not because it wasn't enough, it's because the Black race either has no desire to become the equal of the White race, or because they simply do not have the ability to do so. I believe it is a little of the first, and a lot of the latter.......and that's not racist, that's just being a realist. They have been given every opportunity available, and then some. People like you want to always bring up the past, and tell us how the poor ole Negro was treated.....and no one denies that was once the case, but it's not been for a very long time, and the biggest percentage of Blacks alive today have been treated like royalty, not like a slave. The prisons are not full of young Black men because they want to be there. It's not young White kids killing each other in the inner cities, it's young Black kids. Just look at the crime statistics and see what race of people commits the most violent crimes. It's not because the White man forces them to do so.....it's because it's just what they do. The old NBN saying is 100% spot on.

The “negro” isn’t treated bad “today”, it’s just “NBN”, right?? You’re too phuqqin stupid to realize what you’re even saying....

I'm curious, what was he too stupid to realize that he was saying?

They even had a car manufactured dedicated to their special needs!- - - - -Pontiac!

You’re obviously of the same intelligence.

The racist and degrading attitudes towards black people on this forum is shameful.

You know we have members here that are black, right?

OK. Maybe you could tell me and I could mend my ways.

Sure there were some good intentions behind the "War on Poverty", but as with most government programs, it did more harm than good. In retaliative terms the American Black Family was doing pretty well before Screwed things up in his efforts to buy their votes for the next 100 years.

Perhaps the most damaging effect welfare was the destruction of the Black nuclear family. For many of the early poverty programs, there was no way to collect the benefits if a husband and wife remained married. Social Workers would come around, and if there was evidence of a man living in the house, the benefits were yanked. So our government effectively paid black to break up their families.

After destroying the family, the bureaucrats also destroyed the incentive to work had and improve their position in life. If they made too much money, they lost all their benefits. The bureaucrats taught blacks how to make their living by living off the government. Now it's common for children to follow in the footsteps of their parents, especially as it related to trade, and these parents taught there kids the only way they know how to make a living....off the government....

That's Racist.!!!

+1. I was born in 85 though.....

Part of the high school vocational courses I taught for 30+ years was how to write a resume', fill out a job application, and participate in a mock job interview. Some of my students showed no interest at all- - - - -"Ain't nobody in my family gots no job- - - - -we gets a check!" Some of them couldn't name anyone younger than "Gramma" of "Auntie" who had ever had a job!
Jerry

Government investing in the community isn’t going to help anyone. The problem is that to many Blacks take the easy route. They choose not to earn an eduction because it’s hard work. They choose to live off welfare because it’s easier. They choose choose to break the law because it’s easier.
