In historic move, North Carolina city approves reparations for Black residents.
Asheville city

Are you kidding me what next?

Which "GROUP" ACTUALLY has privilege in our country??

1) Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you’ve never had a job.

2) Privilege is wearing $300 Beats headphones while living on public assistance.

3) Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan, which you receive no bill for.

4) Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a utility or phone bill and where rising property taxes, rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table, which is largely covered by Government Food Stamps.

5) Privilege is having free health insurance for you and your family that's paid for by working taxpayers who often can't afford proper health coverage for their own families.

6) Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting just your race alone -- that are subsidized by federal tax dollars.

7) Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only your race.

8) Privilege is having a television network that supports only one race.

9) Privilege is having most of the media news networks refuse to cover incidents wherein one race (one-eighth of the population) commits 50% of the crimes.

10) Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling off from work and the consequences that accompany such.

11) Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or pre-school you don’t pay for.

12) Privilege is being able to vote in many states without showing a driver's license, voter ID card or other credentials -- just because your race claims they should be exempt from such requirements.

13) Privilege is being able to riot, loot, commit arson and tear down historic monuments without consequences -- just because you don't like folks such as Columbus, U. S. Grant or even Lincoln.

14) Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the working men and women who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! you know, those you now call “PRIVILEGED”.

Should work, until they're broke again.

They won't be making actual payments, they'll be making investments in the community to help black people, whatever that means. I wonder if they'll be conducting dna tests? What happens if someone has the DNA of a former slave, and the dna of a former slave owner? What if a person like me with pasty white skin can prove they have a smidgen of African American dna? I'd think that sort of thing might be fairly common.

Asheville is the Austin of the south. It's become a fruit, flake and nut resort town.

Great post Bigbuck!

If I have to pay for reparations, I want to own a few slaves for awhile. I have all kinds of work around here that needs done.

Well if someone is keeping tabs, I wonder when they are going to pay for all the burning and destruction, starting with Detroit and LA and work their way up.

Lol.........Finster

Reparations = welfare


Been going on forever

Asheville is the San Francisco of the South.

During a recent riot, minorities burned down a multi story building that was being constructed specifically for low income housing.

I'll take half a dozen as well

Just think, with all my free time, I can be on T-Man more!

In your family? ?

The white male is Now a minority....Hmmm. that will never be recognized.

In California whitey became minority a few yrs back but the status is based on national numbers so they get nothing

BURN IT DOWN!!

I say take that out of their payments. That should keep us covered for a couple hundred more years !

Maybe I'm wrong but from my observations

If someone picks on a black guy the black guy will not hesitate long to start throwing punches
If someone picks on a Hispanic guy the Hispanic guy will take it for awhile but finally start throwing punches
If someone picks on a White guy the White guy will take it, suppress and it endure it for years before finally exploding and launching a Blitzkrieg across a Continent

Just keep poking and poking and poking, eventually a response is coming.

tree fiddy--i gave him 2 dollars
