Exactly

Still, as long as theyre not taking anybody's money to pay for this farce than whatever. Do it. 

Doing some quick math here, though, I see they have enough for 16 households. Really making a dent. 

Also I don't think anything will appease them. The culture of fear, aggression and victimhood is far strongef than a couple bucks.

The Chicago suburb’s City Council voted 8-1 late Monday to distribute $400,000 to eligible Black households.

Each qualifying household would receive $25,000 for home repairs or down payments on property.

The program is being funded through donations and a 3% tax on the sale of recreational marijuana.

If they use the tax from marijuana the Blacks who smoke are paying reparations to themselves?

400,000 ÷ 25,000 = 16. Sounds like a half baked virtue signal to me.
