Amidst winds of change as America confronts its race issue, a reparations resolution dismissed by many as the stuff of dreams, was unanimously passed by a City Council committee Friday and is scheduled to go before the full council June 17. The resolution would establish a “Chicago Citizens of African Descent Reparations Commission” to investigate how one of the most segregated cities in the nation could best make amends for the impact of slavery. Up for discussion by the Committee on Human Relations Thursday, black and Latino aldermen called the resolution timely and necessary, in the aftermath of the cellphone-recorded

I'm not sure there is much of a race issue but I'm pretty sure 0 thinks there is.

Illinois and Chicago are bankrupt. I don't know where they will get the money but you can be sure of one thing, it will never be enough no matter how much the blacks are given. If you distributed $1,000 each then next year the demand would be for $2,000.

Every sane person needs to bail from Chi-town - you just know taxes and fees will go up on all taxpayers within reach.

This will guarantee an all Black City of Chicago.
Segregation now, segregation forever.
Gov. George Wallace was right - he just had the race that would cause segregation wrong.

Gov George Wallace was right when he predicted segregation now, segregation forever. He just didn't realize which race would cause the segregation.
Chicago will become all Black if this passes.

There isn't enough money in the whole world to satisfy them.

COOL!
Chicago can give reparations to all Black Chicago residents with proven slave ancestors. Then Chicago's Black population can double, triple, quadruple, whatever, with Black newcomers who deserve the cash. Remaining taxpaying residents of Chicago would flee yet another massive tax increase and the newcomers could vote for a bond issue to make up the shortfall before city finances totally collapse.
If you give it away. they will come for it.
Just a thought. Does Moochelle still have a residence in Chicago? She would qualify as a recipient, right? And her nasty little girls would qualify for a half share. BamBam would qualify for nothing since he has NO slave ancestors. At least none in the USA. Maybe some African tribe enslaved some ancestors of his from his Kenyan tribe, but they wouldn't count since we know that the idea that Africans enslaved other Africans is a conspiracy theory because history tells us that slavery didn't not exist anywhere on earth before 1619.

That’s rich. Chicago was one of the cities black people flocked to from the south in the early 20th century to ESCAPE racism.

America's race issue has not been touched, they are still out there burning and looting. The thick-headed bozos actually think they have gained ground by this mayhem. All they have gained is a few big screen TVs just in time to not watch the NFL due to another similar racial issue and created a bunch of burned out lots where they can not buy wings and Doritos.

If I were black, I would consider moving to Chicago for a short while (one of the nicer neighborhoods) right when they start handing out reparations money. Then, of course, I would take my money and run, because the city will become one large cesspit.

Reparations=Give me more free stuff! When will these people realize that voting for Democrats since 1946 or whenever is what created their problems, real or imagined?

#15, funny thing is the rioters and looters will not be able to register all those stolen big screen TVs with the manufacturers to be able to obtain software updates and warranty services, as the manufacturers, and the retail store where the TV’s were stolen, have records of the supply chain from manufacturer to the retail establishment including the serial numbers of all the stolen televisions. Once such a television set is turned on, the manufacturer may well have the capability through electronically captured data to tell where television is located.

This is your warning. Leave Chicago now. Only people and property Chicago can tax is whatever and whoever is in Chicago. And Da Bears still stink.

How do I get into this Reparations Gravy Train? Over two thousand years ago my ancestors in France, the Gauls, were imprisoned, tortured, and executed by that bloodthirsty butcher, Big Julie Caesar. I got a lot of Gaul in my. I won't eat a Caesar salad. Give me my loot now.

Chicago needs to make amends for slavery that never existed in Chicago? This is a city that elected a black mayor in 1983 and has dozens of black aldermen for decades. Currently Chicago's mayor, the Cook County's States Attorney and County Board President are black women. Doesn't sound like a racist city to me.

Who is going to pay out the reparation money to all the Black folks who live in Chicago? Surely not the City of Chicago, as Chicago is broke.
If Chicago tries to raise up the taxes of non Black Chicago residents and businesses to suck in the money to pay out to Black residents, it would be an act of unconstitutional discrimination. Besides Chicago is bound to lose a lot of the tax base that is located in the city as affected residents and businesses will shut down and move outside the city.
