   Originally posted by blaster master alright, so if you read the fine print, it's not reparations for slavery, its reperations for housing discrimination, and to get it you or your direct family had to have lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969 it sounds like.

   
   I've heard that a lot of black leaders are angry about that and want it made out to where they can spend the money on anything they want and not be limited to home improvements/repairs. You know like big screen TVs and rims.

   interesting, i never knew about this but the article says the land was given back to whitey.
   

   significant land redistribution measures ultimately were abandoned, and virtually all southern lands were returned to white owners
