Instead it will make investments in areas where Black residents face disparities.


So residents aren't being directly taxed and forced to pay direct payments.

Instead, it will go to the city council's investment companies, friends, and to kickbacks.

If it's the government doing it, then it's corrupt. This is not about investing in the black community or fixing inner city problems. It's about diverting tax money to politicians' pockets. Always is.

So Black people vote that white people owe them money. Seems fair.

I guess they missed the part where the South was an economic disaster area for close to 75 years following the end of the WBtS. Modern economic progress has nothing whatsoever to do with chattel slavery.


Truth. Depending on slavery is what set the South back even more.

The disease of white guilt and liberalism is spreading faster and more devastating than CV19.

Very far Left.

Reminds me of some of the "hip, cool" places in Colorado.

But they are taking steps to reverse the process. Do they not realize that?


This will likely not impact anything going on in Asheville. You need to understand, this is like our version of Austin.

It will never be enough.


and it won't help in any way. Total waste of money and rational thought.

Can't wait to check back on this absurdity in few years to see how "great" things are going.

In North Carolina, that sucks. Guess I won’t be visiting anytime soon.

Googling this guy I learned that he is a shitbag communist.

(Slavery) is this institution that serves as the starting point for the building of the strong economic floor for white America


Since Africa practiced slavery (they sold us ours), why wasn't it also the starting point for the building of a strong economic floor for black Africa also?

The black taxpayers of Asheville paid the cop too, you effing dumbass.

More free stuff. As if LBJ's Great Society reparations didn't do enough damage.

It’s not all of NC. Don’t forget NC went for TRUMP in 2016 and will be red again come November.

I live about two hours southwest of Asheville and none of this madness will ever happen here.
