Providence launches $10M reparations program for black and Native American people - but poor white people may qualify because federal funds earmarked for budget can't exclude anyone based on race
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] That would buy a lot of school lunches.
  • Mayor Jorge Elorza signed the budget into law in November to deliver the funds to some of the city's black and Native American communities

  • But because the federal funds can't be earmarked for specific races, white residents who earn less than $50,000 and live in the city can also apply

  • The program is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, and under federal laws the money must be made available to people of all races

  • Providence is among a number of communities across the country now seeking to address reparations

  • In California, a nine-person reparation committee is urging that every descendant of slaves in the state be paid out a sum for 'housing discrimination'
