Oregon Eyes Giving $123,000 to Black Residents Who Can Prove Ancestral Slavery

In Oregon, they’re trying to figure out racial justice. 

Hence, Democrats have introduced a bill that will grant $123,000 to black Oregonians in an effort toward reparations.

  1. Will I still get my monthly welfare payments after I claim my $123k?

  2. Blacks don't live in Oregon. That's an old myth.

  3. Given Oregon's long history of black slavery, this is long ... wait, hang on. Oregon wasn't a slave state? Seriously?

    By the way, I like Scott Adams' approach to this. If you want to know the cost of having your ancestors taken as slaves, compare the average income of African Americans to black Africans -- and then realize that they are vastly better off because their ancestors were taken as slaves.

    1. Well yes, the obvious form of reparation would be a one way ticket to African country of choice.

    2. That was why Liberia was created. You know, that bastion of freedom and democracy.

    3. Until not long ago, blacks were "encouraged" to leave the state if they came in. Before that, they were encouraged with more of a heavy hand. 's the reason Oregon is still the whitest state.

  4. How about payments to those that can prove their ancestors OWNED slaves?
    Don’t we still have “lemon laws”?

    1. Perhaps Kamala Harris should contribute to the fund; we can prove her ancestors bought and sold slaves.

    2. I got a feeling my ancestors owned slaves and I make no apologies for it. Given they kept their master's name, something that was common to do after they gained freedom, I assume they were treated well. Although it must have been pretty far back because we don't seem to have any slave houses on the farm, unless they lived with everyone else. Can find slave houses in nearby towns though.

      I wouldn't mind getting a refund on them though. If the descendants of great great granddaddy slave can claim reparations, then I can claim a refund adjusted for inflation!

  5. I see lawsuits for Irish, Chinese, Eastern European, Middle Eastern and others, claiming their ancestors were slaves and they are owed reparations as well.

    1. Don't forget the gays, lesbians, trannies, and every other group that feels like they have entitlements

    2. Given that the first three categories are white, considered white because they blow the grade curve and work hard, and white, don't hold your breath for any of them getting anything for it. The latter group might, as long as they aren't the icky Christian types.

    3. Re: Irish and Chinese. No one wanted them as official slaves. You go buy yourself an African slave and that's a pretty big investment. Work one to death, or let him get permanently injured, and that's like you drove your nice, fully-loaded F150 off a cliff, dollar-wise. Bad move.

      But if a Mick or a Chink working for wages building the railroad gets maimed or killed, you lost nothing because you had no initial investment. You just go hire yourself another one. Easy Peasy.

  8. Can Kamala put that towards her re-election campaign?

  9. How about payments to those whose ancestors fought for the North to free the slaves?

  10. I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over that $11.8 trillion. Somebody is using inflated numbers.

  11. I predict an exodus from the country's ghettos to Oregon. The all new Oregon trail with a pot of gold at the end.

  12. This just in: Oregon lawmakers draft proposal that would give a mouse a cookie.

    "I don't anticipate he will want anything further and the poor little guy just looks so pathetic watching all his friends eat the cookies they baked" one congresswomxn was quoted as saying.

  16. They may soon find out that their "Slave Money" will have to come from a different state. Oregon might finally end up handing out a total of $246000.

    THAT would be epic.

  17. If the dark community might get money, how about the original Americans who had their land stolen from them and most murdered or herded onto a resv!ge

    1. Original Americans? You mean the black aborigines that the Asiantic migrants slaughtered?

      Delete
    2. Nope.
      Those folks came later, around eight thousand (8,000) years ago.

      These Solutrean folks were all around the western hemisphere around twenty-two thousand (22,000) years ago:

      Or were they referring to the Nordic traders and settlers of about twelve hundred (1,200) years ago?

      And in other news:
      * Oregon unelected governess Kate 'Moonbeam' Brown dictated the permanent closure of another few thousand small owner-operated businesses.
      Busy scribbling more dictates, Missy Moonbeam was not available to take frequently-asked questions...

  18. How about the American Indians? Any money for the countless broken treaties by the US?

    Or the Irish?

    1. Indians already got theirs, the chiefs just hoard it all.

      The Irish are too white and would need to hit the Brits up for that since the Brits did most of the kidnapping.

    2. Conquered people’s deserve only what their masters hand them. For you to be asking that question shows you know your place on your knees in front of joe and his hoe.
      Grow a pair or live in dispair.
