• The city of Evanston, IL started a reparations program for blacks - $25K each.
• Judicial Watch and 5 plaintiffs sued on the basis of violation of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
• Evanston offered a host of reasons as to why this suit should be dismissed, but Federal court just ruled suit should go forward.

If I remember correctly, fewer of 2% of Americans held slaves, and the civil war fought to end slavery ended more than 150 years ago. BTW, Chicago is now looking at reparations.

This is just another attempt to ensure blacks are kept on the Dem plantation, and needs to be fought tooth and nail.

Judge John F. Kness was appointed by President Donald Trump. GOOD TRUMP!

Christians were slaves for hundreds of years in Egypt before Moses led them out.
If it's good for one slave it's good for another right?

Ok so if being factually correct I should say the Hebrew people or more correctly the Israelites…..ancestors of the Jewish people.
Fact remains they were slaves. If we are going to pay reparations to one then should be all folks that have been slaves.

The biggest problem with an argument for reparations is showing lasting harm due to slavery. The reality is every descendant of slaves in America is better off because their ancestors were slaves, or else they'd still be in ****hole Africa and not here as citizens with a much better life.

The Hebrews were a Canaanite tribe from what is now Jordon. Several branches of what were the Canaanites (ancestors of the Hebrews), were slaves in Egypt. This is well documented on the Luxor Temple Pylons.

The perpetual victimization of blacks that the dem plantation pursues is one of the worst things to happen to blacks. Their entire lives they are told by Dems and the media that they can't use phones, aren't smart enough to get an ID, can't use the internet, can't drive or walk in public or they'll get killed, that they'll literally never amount to anything in the US simply because of the color of their skin. They hear this their entire lives. (And couldn't be further from the truth). It's gross. There are good Dems. I know them. But Dems as a group are a gross and evil bunch.

Wasn't Moses alive about 1300 years before Christ? Or am I misremembering. I don't think there were any Christians in Moses' time. Or are you being funny?

I would argue that since slavery, the biggest obstacle to the success of blacks has been the creation of the welfare state, codified by President Johnson's War on Poverty (1964).

Destroyed black families, fostered their dependence on welfare, and destroyed black institutions.

The Dems continue to landmine the paths leading to success of blacks.

It's funny how the Dems' attempts to help black people achieve prosperity backfires every time. Every single time.
