The main argument for reparations, as I read through this article, is given as: "Give back what was taken from people like my parents,” she told me. “Help this younger generation.” But a lot of generations did not get anything from their parents: black, white, Chinese, Indians, Appalachians etc. Where is the end of this pay off attitude? Another opinion: "Fix what’s broken,” Mosley said. “Housing, education. Use reparation money to get old people off the street.” This is the real and dignified, but it has to be done on the regular budget. This is what states and townships should be doing- not the sex education and drag queens, what Evanston should be doing as well. (I wonder if the city tried to run referendum?) Yes, I know this is small thing, just an example. Look, every single thing the governments tried to establish was given as a charity: low priced housing, ferrying the black children around, even affirmative action, which was a very good initiative with a huge flaw-it did not have expiration date and became a privilege. Charity works only when it is purposed on each separate individual case otherwise it causes more problems and misery, than any natural flow of development. Black citizens proved it 100 years ago according to Sowell and other black intellectuals, which are the real progressives as compared to Al Sharpton and Jessy Jackson
