The woke Board of Commissioners for Shelby County in Tennessee, which also includes Memphis, voted to approve $5 million to launch a feasibility study to examine reparations for the descendants of slaves as a number of members cited the death of Tyre Nichols as a reason for it. The feasibility study aims to determine whether the county should “establish, develop, and implement reparations.”
The commission has 13 members. The eight black members all voted in favor of the study. The five white members all voted against it or abstained, according to the Daily Mail.

Well, lots of Californians are moving out there. Just remember, liberal Californians are unfamiliar with the phenomena known as cause and effect. I had a long discussion with a 40 something silicon valley senior engineer who was unable to comprehend that our liberal government canceling freeways in the 70s and 80s (selling the right of way to balance the budget shortfall caused by massive social spending budget), canceling many planned new reservoirs (again spending the money on their social spending), and canceling power plant construction (because soon we would all have windmills on the roof, ride bicycles to work and "conserve" water) could have anything to do with current blackouts and grey-outs, water shortages and traffic jams.
So yes, reparations. But of course they will be angry if Tennessee introduces an income tax to pay for it. Because the Unicorns should have come by to shoot rainbows and gold bullion out their hindquarters to help pay for reparations, free tuition for the "undocumented", $100,000 "basic income" for the indigent and ........
And then the locusts will seek a new pristine low cost place to ruin.
The coastal Californians are deeply stupid.

Of course this justifies reparations for slavery. Five black cops killed one black man. Al Sharpton is one of the few who could see the logic in this argument. Juan Williams and Whoopi as well. Pay reparations to all 48 million members of the parasite class and they will have their hands out again in a year after the first payment goes up their noses.

As a tennesseean I'm hoping another New Madrid earthquake will change the course of the Mississippi to East of Memphis so Arkansas can claim it. With no loss of life, of course.

"The commission has 13 members. The eight black members all voted in favor of the study. " THESE 8 members have created the opportunity to vote themselves access to the Taxpayers' pocketbook - how special!
HOWEVER, all current slave-owners in the US must be forced to pay reparations.

If Memphis wants to do this it will be with their own money and nobody else's. If they expect the Republican dominated state legislature to give this any serious consideration then they are more stupid than they currently appear to be, and that's saying something.

Who gets the $5 million to study the issue? it certainly will not be a privileged White person! Anyway you look at it, if the reparations proposal ever becomes a fact of life in that county, it looks like a minority population of White folks would be funding the reparations for a majority population of Black people.

Memphis is majority black already but maybe this can convince the blacks in the rest of Tennessee to move there and create a neo-segregated black dem neo-ghetto.

Call me a skeptic, I think a companies fall into plans like this because
there's little chance of it ever becoming a reality. At least they can claim; "We tried"
I too, believe it will never happen. Just the democrat way of 'stringing people along'

How about those who destroy American cities and citizens' property pitch in and restore the damages done?

How could anyone be against reparations? Paying them (more) will stop the looting, murders, carjackings, assaults and assorted mayhem we are experiencing.. Right?

Then let Shelby County(Memphis) foot that $5 million bill all alone. It was their PD that did this.. not Nashville, Knoxville, or Chattanooga and any of the hundreds of perfectly respectable small towns and counties in this our beautiful state.
Memphis is the ONLY city on our state where I legitimately felt unsafe and the last time we were there was 20 years ago. I hate to think how horrible it is now.
Like my Daddy, a born and raised Tennessean, said.. Memphis is the @ssend of Tennessee. We would happily give it away for free!!

1865 or earlier, 7 generations or so in the past, all of our dna scrambled like mutts (poor Angela Davis) and no feasible way to unscramble it…these elected leaders want to spend $5,000,000 of other peoples monies trying to find a way to get non slave owners to non slaves

I live in Georgia, 20 miles from the Tennessee line. Most sane people know to not go anywhere near Memphis, Tennessee. If they want to bankrupt the city, they are welcome to do so. Just don’t ask the state taxpayers to fund this insanity. I see these increasing demands for “reparations’. Free money. All it will do is make decent white people hate blacks. Hardly very “unifying”.

Here is a cheaper solution. Offer to buy a one way ticket to California for all those who want reparations.

I have a friend who worked and lived there for a while she used to call it Memfrica because of the population of blacks living there. That's pretty healthy money for a study somebody is going to get rich.

As a Tennesseean, I am prepared to vote for Shelby County to secede from our state. It seems that everything good there came from Beal Street years and years ago.
