This smacks of the beginnings of reparations.

Will avalanch if the chosen one (aka B.H.O.) attains higher office.

Reparations are coming if Obama is elected.

There is a bill introduced by John Conyers in the past few Congress, to study and examine the impact of slavery on American society, and on the descendents of slaves. And that impact includes what happened after slavery up to the present time.

That bill is officially just to study the impact of slavery and make recommendations, but I think we all know that the recommendations will be that the appropriate remedy is reparations to be paid. If Obama is elected and the Dems. in Congress know the bill will be signed into law, they will do it.

I find it very ironic that we’re navel gazing about slavery reparations, when there is strong evidence that slavery continues in some parts of the world. Why don’t they work toward ending slavery and involuntary servitude in parts of the world where it is still tolerated, rather than punish an America that abolished slavery, and eventually abolished legal segregation and discrimination?

As others have said, this country will burn if that comes to pass.
