So black people will be paying for their own reparations DAMN I never though black people could be so dumb
Why do the United Snakes need marijuana depositories oh to create more wealth for the wealthy and control the stupid people who purchase the garage. It's a natural free herb. Every Black person licked for selling marijuana should be released Now,💯
Qoute me, if all the states and the federal government makes and keeps marijuana legal I guarantee you'll see big box start selling it to crush small businesses.
I don’t understand this reparation thing. People want money for people who has never been a slave , paid by people who never owned slaves. It doesn’t make sense.
The government is going to steal that money! They ( Esau ) put a cap on the money, because they ( Esau) are going to make Zillions off of it. They think that $10,000,000 is a lot of money. ISRAEL ( BLACKS, HISPANICS, NATIVE AMERICANS ) has been enslaved since 70 A.D. Their is not enough money, in the world to pay for what our ancestors went through. Let alone, what their descendants are going through in the present day!😒
When did Danny Glover start representing us? I’m sorry Mr. Glover haven’t lived in poverty since he received his first Hollywood check. We need another representative for us. I’ll pick Yevett or ToneTalks who won’t bull shit and get to the point.
This makes no sense. Use something that has destroyed our people to give reparations from. Just have a tax on everthing legal and distribute it to the people then.
When they want to say reparations, they're BSing you.
Real reparations is not something you have to "work for". The work was already done. Reparations is a debt. People here have been living on the labor of slaves, free. They are deadbeats. Reparations fixes the effects of what these moral and economic deadbeats have done to black folks. Reparations would be land/property, and money. Those are things that help determine ownership, self-determination.
What they are talking about is funding for what government should normally be doing for any of its citizens. Reform is not reparations. Reform is improving government efficiency, which anybody should seek and have. It's not the same as correcting generations of poverty which was arbitrarily placed on people with black skin derived from those who were enslaved.
Doing it with marijuana or dispensaries… whatever… it's simply providing tax revenue. That's not reparations.
I appreciate the brother at least applauding the sister and what she’s doing in Illinois. Definitely a step in the right direction. She deserves to be applauded for that step. Now for the two on the panel that had so much to say about how it doesn’t go far enough and how it’s not this or that, I look forward to hearing about what they are doing to push Black people forward on a greater scale than what the sister in Illinois has done with that “reparations” initiative.
It's a start, a very small start but a start nonetheless. All countries and ppl who were involved in this worldwide crime will pay more than they ever expected when it's all said and done.
Who needs their history expunged if they have money? 🙄
Don’t focus on anything but money! If your criminal history is expunged they will focus on your credit history. If your credit history is good they will focus on your family history or your education history. There will always be a barrier. Money is the only KEY!!
This social equity is bull shit. They locking all blacks out as several clients of mine can't get approved but all whites with money are. Because of this I hope reperations does come from that fund.
The cap is because they know private firms will be brought in to misappropriate the funds. No one will benefit accept “businesses” , the good intent of the program will fail…. this will be the exit of the marijuana for blacks programs and reparations programs.

Who is buying yhe marijuana…black people? If so won't they be giving reparations to themselves …. ..mmmmmm

I would prefer to buy my cannabis from companies that participate in this. But the south might not legalize it for a while.
Danny Glover you need to get dr. Claud Anderson

I invested hopefully & prayerfully its a success.
…with a catch
Y'all are as stupid as y'all look because they will come up with a plan to steal said money
Good all that's in the right direction but break down the math 73k a person that's good but it need to be 1million a person.
So black people will pay a percentage in reparations! I guess!
For once, I have to agree with Roland. You get results faster when everybody stays in their lane and plays their role.💯🇺🇸

Give me some damn money. 🙄
Brilliant idea.
I'll believe it if and when it happens. 🙄
