Massachusetts Town Creates Fund To Pay Reparations to Black Residents
NY Post | 6/25/2021 | Will Feuer
A liberal Massachusetts town has created a fund that will be used to pay reparations to eligible black residents to "repair past harms" it committed against them or their ancestors.
No money is in the fund yet, but town finance officials have proposed a plan to put $210,000 in the account later this year, The Daily Hampshire Gazette reported.
Amherst, a town of more than 39,000 with a black population of just over 2,100, according to the Census Bureau, is home to The University of Massachusetts' flagship campus and Amherst College, a liberal arts university.
Voter registration data shows it's an overwhelmingly liberal town. Of all registered voters, fewer than 7 percent have been Republican since 2004, while about 50 percent have registered as Democrat.

As a commenter on FreeRepublic.com said:

“$21,0000 / 2,100 = $100 per person. That'll shut them up! sarc”

Meanwhile, on the other coast:

The Swedish retailer said in a press release that it hopes the campaign will honor “the richness…

… “by which we mean wealth” …

…and diversity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community,” using an expanded acronym that encompasses those identifying as two-spirit, an Indigenous American term for those with both a male and female spirits.

… “but, hopefully, one credit rating.”
