Reparations paid out for racist injustice by the government

Apparently there are a few people around here who need the living $#iT kicked out of them!
...would you do that for me? {batting my eyelashes} 

Haha... so you're saying I gotta give you 20K and I get the "privilege" of kicking $#iT out of someone....

Why do I feel that I'm getting the short end of the proverbial stick here.

See... the money wasn't shit.

It's not about money... it never is.

It was a token payment. I'm not saying otherwise, however, it makes a statement no matter how small.
That man had to work for 5 yrs to pay off the $500 headtax when he arrived in 1912.
I'm sure his great grand kids can benefit from it.

And again, ...if you think $20K is so much chopped liver, give it to me and I will prove you wrong.

I'm just saying that it's not the HUGE chunk you're making it sound like.

Also, I don't give money away... that's just irresponsible.

It's not necessarily the amount, ...but rather how it is used that makes the difference.

ps - Who's talking about giving it away? ...just consider it an investment.

True, ...but better late than never.
There were many before him who passed away before seeing any apology or settlement of any kind.
