The government already has paid out more than $1 billion to about 16,000 black farmers, with most getting about $50,000. The new money is intended for people -- some estimates say 70,000 or 80,000 -- who were denied earlier payments because they missed deadlines for filing. The individual amounts depend on how many claims are successfully filed.
Why am I just now learning about reparations? I can think of a million reasons why I am owed something. Or I can just bust my ass and pay taxes every day.
