What are you, Diogenes' sock or bitch? Our taxes pay for a whole lotta stuff that we individually don't like (i.e., Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan war). Having the very wealthy pay their fair share of taxes and giving reparations to people who deserve them is no skin of your nose. So stop whining like a little ignorant maga mook.
Translation: Hawk's not too bright and has no real argument here. He's just a knee jerk bitch for Diogenes. Sad. I'll just ignore him.
You keep promising....but never deliver.
humor is only funny when based in reality.Cartoon time.
your penetration is nothing but net if that's what you mean.
Beggars like you and others seem to have no shame. How can people live like that ?
And yet the Japanese internment camp victims got DIRECT gov't involved reparations. Native Americans and black folk ... NO. And of course, banks are notorious for predatory lending among black folk and causing a near depression with the mortgage scams in recent years ... And they got bailed out by our tax dollars.U.S. municipal procurement laws governing local reparations programs operate at a highly contentious intersection of local administrative authority, corporate set-aside rules, and federal constitutional constraints.
Because municipal governments cannot simply issue unrestricted race-based corporate contracts, they must design local programs using specific legal workarounds. The legal, structural, and procurement data below tracks how these local programs are engineered and challenged.
All municipal procurement programs touching race—including local reparations—are governed by the landmark Supreme Court ruling in City of Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co. (1989).
The Court held that municipal race-conscious public contracting programs violate the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause unless they pass strict scrutiny.
Because of the Croson barrier, municipalities bypass traditional direct cash procurement payouts by utilizing three primary legal workarounds:
1. Third-Party Intermediary Disbursal (Nonprofit Pipelines)
To insulate municipal procurement from direct constitutional challenges, cities transfer public funds to independent, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to manage construction, housing, or economic development procurement.
There is an information vacuum regarding whether municipalities can legally force these programs to utilize Black-owned vendors. For instance, records show that in Evanston's program, the primary procured staff and contractors were predominantly white-owned, prompting internal community complaints that the economic multiplier of the procurement was not staying within the Black community.
- The Data: In Evanston, Illinois—the first U.S. city to implement municipal reparations—the city did not give cash directly to recipients to hire contractors. Instead, the municipal Reparations Committee partnered with Community Partners for Affordable Housing (CPAH), a local housing nonprofit. CPAH vetted and procured third-party construction contractors to perform home repairs, directly paying the vendors or banks rather than putting cash into the hands of citizens, minimizing direct state-run procurement vulnerability.
- Municipalities allocate public project procurement or grant criteria to specific historically segregated geographic zones. For example, eligibility is tied to proof that an individual or business was present within city limits during periods of documented discriminatory zoning laws (e.g., Evanston's 1919–1969 historical residency baseline).
Forgot your question?
"THAT STILL FUNCTIONS TODAY UNDER THE SAME OR OTHER NAME,". I agree with you. That would be any DEMOCRAT. They caused slavery in this country, hell, they still use the same name. Pay up.
And they enslaved over a million white europeans. The reason we fought the first and second Barbary wars.
In today's world the Minnesota Somalis are in affect getting tax paid reparations for being the poor-low life brown colored citizens of Minnesota--all thanks to governor Tampon Tim's fraudulent handling and criminal disbursement of those tax monies.Who owes reparations? Well,...exactly NOBODY. Not unless we want to unwind the clock and go back to the very beginning all over the world. If we did do you know what we would have ? EVERYONE would have to write a check to EVERYONE and we would all end up exactly in the same place we are now. Reparations is nothing more than a bunch of nonsense foolishness dreamed up by a bunch of bottom feeder imbeciles and propagated by a bunch of con men who play the imbeciles for suckers either by leading them to believe they are actually fighting for THEM because they deserve it .....so " surely I deserve your vote" OR if they ever did actually receive reparations they would have they're hands in the cookie jar faster thank you can blink.
In no way do you deserve reparations. Not one thin dime. Stop begging. Nobody gives a shit.
Really? Can you prove that or are you just blowing smoke out of your ass again? I provided a valid, documented example of what I'm stating. Put up or STFU.
More factless drivel from a maga/alt-right troll. Of course he ignores the fact that the ring leader was a white woman, or that investigations thst led to arrests started LONG before right wing grifters got hold of the story. Typical.
