Same…Many black families in the South have a story to tell. The amount of wealth that was stolen and swindled from millions of families…

Our family land is now a part of the city’s airport….
Story goes that police kept harassing and arresting my great-great grandfather…. Putting him in debt to pay bail, lawyer fees, court fees…

He ended up having to sign over the land to be free of the penal system.

Stepin Fetchit - Wikipedia

The first Black actor.

His family immigrated in 1880 or 1890. He's one of the earliest I have seen. His father was a Cigar Maker.

FamilySearch: Sign In

I do think Haitians, Bermudians all who was immigrating in to Florida in the 1890's during the height of Jim Crow South -- definitely have a claim.

Meaning if your family is like Stephin Fetchit and came in the 1880-1890's and immigrated to and lived in Jim Crow South. I would definitely put a claim in.

I never said that go back and read my post

.

People talking about they want money and can't even read.
People picking out one or two things I mentioned and leaving out the rest have zero reading comprehension

People talking about we gave money to Ukraine and have no understanding of how money is generated, how it works or moves.

No understanding of the federal budget , monetary policy, or foreign policy

As if those refugees fleeing they country are getting checks handed to them.

You would think I said don't give us any money.

Y'all are proving that you need to be educated cause it's a bunch of damn fools responding
There's a reason why they say..

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Tamia is another ados-descended biracial canadian who might be eligible, btw.

Not sure. I think you have to be a US citizen. Even though her Mom was -- but Tamia was born in Canada. If her Mom came back and lives in the states -- her mom definitely is.

Again, these are all special cases -- and I think they should all try (apply when it's time) and see what happens.
