IOW, “Blacks are the only group we can deliver consistently, so let’s give them super-votes! Well, college kids, but they don’t vote half the time so they don’t really count.”
Well, I guess I’ll be exempt from that law. A member of my family died in the Civil War, and my great grandfather rescued some former slaves after he fought to free them and brought a former couple home with him , got them a home right across the street from him and also got him a job. Twenty years later they were still their neighbors.
If brain-eating amoebae had nothing to live on but liberals, they’d starve to death.
Hey I am 1% black, really. I now claim my vote in the next election is 1.66. ;)
I didn’t even have to click the link to know it was Chappell.
Sprint’s stock is up because 2,000,000 delinquent accounts have been paid.
Eight thousand record labels were created in the last hour...
In this case, controversial means stupid...as it so often does.
...Reparations in the form of exemption from all federal withholding tax from wages and income for 50 years is fair...
Exemption from withholding tax for 50 years. I like that. Don’t take anything out of the paychecks. That way all that would have been normally withheld toward prospective income tax payments and normally taken out toward income tax each paycheck is payable instead as a lump sum on every April 15th
Very good point.
Civil war II anyone?
““But if a pecuniary answer can’t fix the structural disadvantage — and it can’t — what can?””
General rule: anyone who uses a word like pecuniary instead of a simpler word (say, monetary in this case) is not trying to get their ideas across clearly. Instead, they are trying to hide their ideas behind big words. Baffling with BS, as it were.
Ignore anyone who does this. If you cannot then restate what they said in as few syllables possible. Nothing makes a self-important jackass like this windbag more aggravated than to hear their puffed up words reduced to:
“You think money isn’t enough to fully repay slavery so you want black votes to count for more than white votes, right”?
They hate it when you do that. So do that.
Wadda ya think the “no voter ID” scam is about??!!
They already got it!!!
It’ll never happen ....
The difference between a Citizen and a Civilian.
The Citizen has EARNED THE FRANCHISE BY DEMONSTRATING HIS OR HER WILLINGNESS TO PUT THEIR LIVES IN HARMS WAY TO PROTECT THE BODY POLITIC.

Dead people, 7 to 6 vote.
Clint Eastwood, 99,999 to 1 vote.
this isn’t “controversial.” It’s an obvious ornament to da Cause.
It’s easy to see what else will be coming with it. Just play pretend and figure it all out. Then write about it and spread the joy.
For pity’s sake, “Keep watching the skies; tell everybody to keep watching the skies!”
No. Fuch reparations of any form.
“Racial reconciliation is impossible without some kind of broad-based, systemic
As things are going, IMO.
Two irreconcilable cultures with the gap between them growing every day.
Slavery was indefensible, but it was a role nonetheless; today too many have none but as pawns for new socialist masters. Slaves had value.
