I think it is funny when people try to say welfare is our reparations. Really? Really? Come on now, really? The fact that it wasn't available to poor black folk for the longest and the fact that it is still available to poor people of any race is somehow reparations to black people?
Wow.
Truth be told, the overwhelming majority of black folk always knew any sort of reparations were never going to come. You guys just focus on the crazy few and try to attribute that to the rest of us.
Yep, haven't noticed any Jews walking around bawling about their situation. What, 6000000 murdered?
Good point, and in reality it wasn't really that long ago. I'm sure you can still find some people , probably many people that have the tattoo. And it seems like the majority of the Jewish people have done very well for themselves. I wonder what the difference is ?

Has your official party line changed?
Changed?
NAH!
Just as flexible and bent to suit the party's agenda as ever.
Blacks don't want to get over the slavery race card.. they love to play it. Al Sharpton is saying what they want and love to hear . This pastor tells it like it really is.

Maybe whites should have picked their own cotton. I guess it's too late for that.
Oh brother. Like every black in America picked all of the cotton. I had relatives that picked all of their cotton. I have picked about a bucket full of cotton and it was hard work and I am glad I didn't have to do it all the time. I had relatives who owned many slaves. I had relatives who owned known. I don't mind, at all, that the ones that owned slaves lost everything as a result of the Civil War. Though they worked like dogs to acquire land and buy slaves to help work the land, they deserved to lose it all, IMO. You cannot own another human being.
It's time to move on. We have had 40 years since things changed for the better. Isn't it time to let all the changes and new ways of doing things take affect ? Christ, if we keep on blaming and pointing fingers and demanding more and more, it is going to end really badly I am afraid. We may go to a place this country can't come back from.
As a relative of mine once said, "Unless your last name is some variant of Pocohontas, you don't have anything to ***** about." I'm just under 1/2 American Indian, the rest is a Caucasian mix from several different European families, and I don't feel a bit of guilt about anything that any of my ancestors did.
