Well, to be fair, Asheville is the most liberal town in the state and is overrun with hippies who migrated from up north. So I find it somewhat hilarious that they would do this. It's also ironic that it's one of the most white towns in nc, with only 11% of the population being black. It's a great example of a white guilt town that really doesn't want to live near black people, but will throw money, or in this case, "reperations" to keep them on their side of town.
