Yes, and no doubt my Italian ancestors are owed reparations from the Carthaginans and my Irish forebears are owed by the British. Can you help me get the $$ back?

They can't its not apart of their nature, you think the same people who rape our women, men, and children will admit their wrongs? No, the people who practiced overt Jim crow laws and lynchings are grandparents now they've raised their children to smile and bite, like the so called liberals in the political system. No don't expect an apology from these people, the same ones who project their lowly existence onto out people and continue in the subtle practice of our extermination. This isn't the time for apologies my brother, not at all.

Oh, I know. I was just stating the obvious. MLK was right, we are in the burning house.

I have yet to figure out why the right gets all tingly and giddy over Bill Cosby's comments.

Bill Cosby isn't saying anything different from what you hear around the Sunday dinner table at the homes of the Black middle/upper class. And if these people actually knew any Black people personally they would understand that as fact and not an obtuse revolutionary manner of thinking.

Talk is cheap. Deeds gentlemen, not more words.

Give me a roadmap to fix black Amercia without more tax money. Take the talk from the dinner table and make it a massive challenge on the media to the Black Community.

Who in Black Amercia will stand up and say, "We need to fix ourselves first--family, education, social habits, values, etc. before we complain that White America has some kind of legacy responsibility."

Stop crying and fix your people rather than worrying about black people

Old saying, never bite the hand that feeds you.
And during that "hundred years" there have been assinations of black leaders, Jim Crow Laws, legal lynchings, unjust drug laws, police beatings/killings, unfair housing pratices, unequal education, unequal healthcare and job discrimination. I guess blacks should be on equal terms now

Heck, just go watch some old SNL episodes filmed during the Dubya or Clinton administrations for your answer.
Were any of it regarding their ethnicity?

The point is they 'got over it' without tax dollars.
