Boru The government (any government) is'nt a source of income.
It takes and redistributes.
So ultimately some taxpayer is going to foot the bill.
And don't say "everyone pays". If you are getting more than you are giving - you're being paid.
All claims to the contrary are smoke and mirrors.
In the era of deficit spending, that argument doesn’t work.

It's compensation for the fact the government allowed slavery to occur and wrote the racist laws that kept black people back

I'd be 15 bucks richer if I were better at convincing people to take a suckers bet.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

I would have preferred they did not do it. I said so at the time if you recall. I also thought it was a boneheaded idea when Bush Jr did the same thing.
You keep playing this stupid game of either/or. "If you don't agree with what we cooked up - you must be ___________ (fill in blank with appropriate snide remark)
All at the same time that you skipped over any question I raised about eligibility or responsibility.

30 bucks says he's willing to burn anything to the ground if it might cause collateral damage to gangbangers and the useless takers who seek to steal his white money and give it to the black man.
That's some solid race traitor shit, right thur, if you ask me. These poor assholes are usually tied into knots like that.

Yes, you preferred they not send you the money, but you kept it all the same. You seem ok with deficit spending as long as it benefits you personally, not so much when it benefits other people.
I did indeed skip over eligibility (your government bears responsibility, I’m pretty sure I said that).
As to who is eligible, how about every black citizen of the US?
