The Reparations Agenda | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    Judicial Watch is investigating a race-based, taxpayer funded reparations program instituted by the City of Evanston, Illinois which allocates $10 million to provide Black/African-American residents or their descendants with a $25,000 reparation payment. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton has described the program, which excludes all other residents or direct descendants of residents, as having "self-evident" moral and legal issues. The program, as he continues, is part of a broader effort on the part of the Left to "destroy this country using the crucible ... of racial division."

    Describing it as an "extremist policy," Fitton noted that as "a government program that provides taxpayer money to individuals based on race, [reparations], plainly violates the law."

    As Fitton further observed, "is one payment enough? How does that fix the legacy of racism if that's what they're truly concerned about? The equivalent of a stimulus check? How much money is it? And is it ever going to be enough money?" Regardless of the thinking behind reparations, Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit and asked for records from the City of Evanston to find out more about what appears to be a "racially abusive" program.
