'Reparations Happy Hour' invites white people to pay for drinks

So if you were a child of mixed parentage, half white and half black, would you only get $5.  :shrug:

In Portland, Oregon, organizers of the “Reparations Happy Hour” invited black, brown and indigenous people to a bar and handed them $10 bills as they arrived, a small but symbolic gift mostly funded by white people who were asked not to attend.

How absolutely, utterly ridiculous.

Any white person who participates in scams like this should be tattooed 'privileged' on their forehead so black, brown or indigenous people are able to more easily recognize the dumb sucker.

Portland activist stages ‘reparations happy hour’
By Luis Sanchez - 05/27/18 06:04 PM EDT

Activists in Portland, Ore., organized a “Reparations Happy Hour” this week for black, brown and indigenous people mostly funded by donations from white people, according to The New York Times.

Guests at the bar were reportedly given $10 dollar bills donated largely by white people who were asked not to participate in the event.

“It was only $10, but when I saw them I saw their eyes light up,” Cameron Whitten, the activist who organized the event, told the Times. “What I saw there was that people felt like they were finally seen.”

The event is meant to call attention to reparations, which is the idea that blacks in America should be financially compensated for the generations of abuse and racism they endured.

They already must have a "kick me" sign taped to their backs.

What would be funny is a white guy going in claiming he identifies as black.

He could likely win in court if thrown out in the goofy state.

They almost had to kick Michelle 0 out when she demanded that she was entitled to $20. Fortunately Bill was on hand to pay for her drink out of the Clinton Foundation slushy fund...

If I self-identify as a Native American, are my drinks free?

Hope it doesn't hurt their feelings if they have to wait awhile for me to show up.   Forever shoul work just fine for me.
