I visit Asheville all the time and rarely do I even see a black person ! The mountains of NC never had a huge black community , look it up , blacks were not welcome in them thar mountains.
Don't think anyone should worry about this raising taxes very much!
I've been to Asheville many times too.
And it is true today Blacks only make up 12% of the population in Asheville -- but there were slaves and the Asheville community has been exploring the reparation issue for years. Lots to google if you are interested.
Not "North Carolina", but a city in North Carolina.
Asheville is undoubtedly the most liberal city in the state, FYI.
From the linked article:
The reparations won’t come in the form of direct payments to black residents — instead, investments will be made in areas that see racial disparities, the Citizen Times said.
That seems, to me, to be a reasonable approach to addressing the topic.
Awesome! I'm moving to Asheville! Can't wait to get my reparations. I'm mostly white but have slave ancestors, looking forward to that free house and business they're going to give me.

The money will NOT go to Blacks. It will go to pay for another Bureaucracy and "Commission" where these Woke idiots get paid $100K a year for a job two nights a week, to do nothing and devise a scheme for more Government.
This is just another excuse to grow government. Watch. Oh maybe they will build a park and a Rec center or two.

Meanwhile in other cities, this reparations is called opportunity zones. They are just re-branding it to signal how virtuous they are. If I was a black person in Asheville, I'd puke at this.
Trump supporters are sounding as confident as Hillary supporters did.
Oh..I think Trump supporters can be pretty confident especially when dementia Joe has to leave his basement to debate trump!
