  1. Now pay your reparations and forfeit your pension.

    Then put out the fires.

  2. I’m sure it’s a nice salary and pension, but I sure wouldn’t want to deal with the head cases who run that town.

    Evanston declared itself a nuclear free zone in 1985, and this year they became the first municipality in the United States to offer reparations to Blacks.

    They were woke long before woke became a thing.

  3. Is he gonna claim to be one eighth black to avoid being replaced?
