City paying reparations to coloreds; now getting sued

[Roy C]

Always hard to rescind and take things back after the fact. But good for people for not lying down.

Evanston, a Chicago suburb, has been credited with launching the country’s first government-funded reparations program for Black Americans. It has paid out nearly $5 million to 193 of the town’s Black residents over the past two years.

But now a conservative advocacy group has filed a class-action lawsuit to kill the program, arguing that it discriminates against the suburb’s non-Black residents.


The lawsuit is part of a wave of cases spurred on the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision striking down affirmative action in college admissions. Conservative groups have since targeted diversity fellowships and waged a legal battle to force the federal Minority Business Development Agency to open up to White business owners.

Black people owned 1 million white slaves in Africa. So this decision of true is evil. It’s a hard word to use but what other word is there to use?

If it’s true, it’s very unfortunate. And it’s not the black citizens fault how do they actually figure out who’s black by the way? It’s the fault of the lazy thieves who made the decision to allow this payment to happen. So much for working for what they want to get. This is the definition of laziness and theft.

This is stupid. Whites did not suffer from the things that caused the reparations to be paid for.

This is stupid. Whites did not suffer from the things that caused the reparations to be paid for.

Their pocketbooks suffered.

If you lived in Evanston, then that money comes from your taxes.

White isn’t a “color”?

White isn’t a “color”?

So whites are people of color?

If you lived in Evanston, then that money comes from your taxes.

If you are black and live in Evanston, your tax money went to help whites and none went to you.

Their pocketbooks suffered.

Black pocketbooks suffered for decades while whites reaped the benefits.

If you are black and live in Evanston, your tax money went to help whites and none went to you.

Uh, reparations are for blacks. With money being taken from whites like you.

Smart people do not use the term “colored”.

Tell that to Sherwin-Williams. My garage will thank you, it could use some touch ups.

White is a color, but whites were not discrimnated against because of their color.

If you paint your garage white, you will understand that it's a color.

Uh, whites didn't get reparations. That's discrimination.

What's that have to do with contemporary tax payers in Evanston?

If you paint your garage white, you will understand that it's a color.

So everyone is a "person of color."

I'm not white and blacks are getting reparations because our money was taken from us by whites. I don't think you have the intelligence to understand what happened.

You're not white???? Yeah, right!

Contemporary tax payers benefitted from what happened as well as contemporary taxpayers are still practicing racism.
