Clueless Post of the Day: (answer from “Progressive” troll to poster objecting to BLM demands for reparations)
—@Land of the free huh: “Lastly, no one blamed you personally. No one came to your house to ask you for a piece of what you have. They are asking the government. You are a nobody, no offense. I don’t think any black has come to you and demanded things from you. Stop making it personal.”
there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
the separation of the races is the only perfect preventative of amalgamation.
The liberal view of the world is the what I call the Scrooge McDuck theory. They have a notion that either the government or ‘the rich’ have a vault full of gold...they aren’t using it, and certainly don’t need it...and its only because of ‘meanness’ that they won’t share.
I love asking liberals “how much money does the government have to give away”. They never know for sure...but it must be a lot...the answer of course is zero. They have to take before they can give.
Because it impresses white college students.
Reparations should only come from registered Democrats. They were, after all, the only ones who owned slaves when the Civil War started. Not one Republican owned a slave. Blacks (tee hee hee) also were slave-owners. How about reparations from the descendants of those African-American families?
meanwhile, for we tax payers, especially we white ones, we'll see benefits that were promised being slowly diminished..
Here’s the list from IBT:
“For example, the group calls for criminal justice reform and recommends ending militarized police presence in protests. Other reforms include free tuition and retroactive federal student loan forgiveness; rights for trans individuals; and ending the death penalty, mass incarceration and deportations. The organization is also requesting a bill be passed to create a committee to study reparations for those who descend from slaves.”
From BuzzFeed:
“The group will call for reparations; an end to the death penalty, mass incarceration, and deportations; and added rights for trans people under current civil rights protections in a new policy paper to be released Monday. Movement organizers also call for drastic changes to U.S. educational policy, including free tuition and retroactive forgiveness of federal student loans.”
That is hilarious! They’re asking “the government” for reparations, not any particular person.
That’s like my local mayor, who insisted that the funding for a proposed housing project would come from the state’s department of housing, so “no tax dollars or HUD money whatsoever” would be involved.
We defeated the plan.
Well, I have no white guilt.
I gamble at native American casinos.

“A means to hold elected officials accountable”
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. Blacks continue to vote for genuine idiots like Hank Johnson, racists like Barbara Lee, and democrats in general.
#1. Free stuff until it runs out
#2. See #1
Just under political power they list this:
1. An end to the criminalization of Black political activity including the immediate release of all political prisoners and an end to the repression of political parties. (Includes removal of Assata Shakur from international terrorist lists. She was convicted of various bank robberies and murders including the execution of a policeman.)
2. Public financing of elections and the end of money controlling politics through ending super PACs and unchecked corporate donations.
3. Election protection, electoral expansion and the right to vote for all people including: full access, guarantees, and protections of the right to vote for all people through universal voter registration, automatic voter registration, pre-registration for 16-year-olds, same day voter registration, voting day holidays, enfranchisement of formerly and presently incarcerated people, local and state resident voting for undocumented people, and a ban on any disenfranchisement laws.
4. Full access to technology including net neutrality and universal access to the internet without discrimination and full representation for all.
5. Protection and increased funding for Black institutions including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s), Black media and cultural, political and social formations.
Of course there is reparations, end of war on black people, etc.
I’ll take a guess without reading their demands..
More free money and everyone else as their slaves.
Or other blacks. They don’t seem to care about that.
I live in a heavy Republican area and they used the notion that no local tax money would be used in the current development. I explained the words ‘Fungible Money’. This, too, was defeated. (This was before the housing collapse which would have left the area a moonscape had it passed.)
I remember reading about that in the paper,about 7 years?There was also a similar killing in Mississippi in Lexington,in Holmes County.And another where the whole family came home from church, was tortured ,females raped and all were burned to hide the evidence. Also in Holmes county Mississippi.
Kind of destroys the myth of white-on-black violence. And the need to aplogize for the predations committed 150 years ago by distant ancestors.
