This is getting quite absurd. Obviously We are over ending racism...

I. . . . ummm. . . . . . I. . . er. . . . .

So you don't have to be black, indigenous or people of color, you just have to identify as black, indigenous or people of color. Okay, I can do that for free, no strings attached money.

...1,2,3,4 how to start a racewar
The gov singling out a race is a good start guys.

These stories kind of give me hope the pedo politicians are nervous.
Trying to crash the country before they are taken down.

Guilty conscience policies.

I can’t wait till the money runs out. People will be awful pissed when their government cheese runs dry. The city will burn. And I’ll happily pay to watch from the front row. Double if they take San Francisco with it.

Do they guarantee to pay in those new $20 Bills ? 😎

No, it’ll be the new FedCoin as mentioned in another thread.

Oakland: “Hey everyone, here’s your first $500 FedCoins”

Black guy: What is it?

Oakland: This is a FedCoin! When you’re a person of color or indigenous, you will receive 500 FC’s! One thousand FC’s gets you free college and healthcare.

Indigenous Person: What is the cash value of a FC?

Joe Biden: Excellent question unknown pronoun! 1/100 of a cent!

Hispanic transgender: So….ten thousand of your FedCoins is worth one real dollar?

Nancy Pelosi: Just….zip your lid!

As soon as the money runs out, it’s Armageddon.

Yes ending racism, but perpetuating inequality and favoritism base on skin color, you got to love this politicians promising all kind of goodies at the expenses of tax payer in order to secure votes.

And not, this will not last for ever. Sorry, to bust the bubble.

UBI is probably going to happen one way or another.

Gotta start somewhere.

So is the complete take over by authoritarians but there's no reason to cheer it on or hasten its arrival.

So, don't.

ETA: Cheering or booing it probably isn't going to have any effect on the roll out date.

Quoted for truth, if not accuracy.

We won't run out of money, we'll be awash in it. You just won't be able to buy anything with it.

Is this not discriminatory against people not of colour who also have very low earnings? What happened to the anti-discrimination laws and everyone must be inclusive and all that?

How black do you need to be?

Would one black great great grandmother count, because that's probably half the white population of some places.

I'm in as well, sign me up. My rapper name from the 1980s was Vanilla X-Trac. (It was influenced by Vanilla Ice and the fact that I like to bake.)
