If this passes then any black person who takes it ought to be ashamed of themselves. How you can use what happened to gg, ggg, or gggg grandparents to profit is despicable. I know me saying this is like talking to a wall. What would be funny is if some white people who have like a few percentage points of African DNA apply for it. Actually that would be a funny skit or movie. a white guy does his ancestry DNA report and is like 3% West African so he jokingly applies for a reparations check and to his surprise he gets paid.
I know Sowell made a similar comment. But if you look at the history of world slavery it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t have slaves or slave owners as ancestors. I know I do.
That would be interesting. They never specify how much black ancestry you need either. I hope this plan fizzles out. They usually only bring this up around election time but I hope the taxpayers move to a different city.

Some DNA testing companies have come out and bragged about adding trivial amounts (< 1%) of African DNA to people's results to "own the racists."
Would be hilarious if people used that nonsense as a basis for their claims to reparations.

according to snopes that was debooonked
Absolutely it would be hilarious. Let them flood the city offices with their requests.
