CHICAGO — Senator Mark Kirk ruffled a lot of feathers with his recent plan to round up 18,000 gang members but a group of South Side pastors say they have a way for him to redeem himself: Help pass legislation to give African Americans reparation.
Rev. Anthony Williams of Freedom Community Church in Englewood says it’s something that’s long overdue.
“Jews got their reparations from the Holocaust, Japanese got their reparations from the internment. It is time for us to get our reparations,” said. Rev. Williams.
Rev. Joel Washington says they also want Kirk to fight to keep mental health facilities on the South Side open, make sure federal money gets in the right hands and hold congressional hearings on violence and to do something about the flow of guns....

Fifty years of welfare, EBT, section 8 just ain’t enough, hey?
You just perfectly described someone I knew who lived in Lincoln City, OR.
A large percentage of “blacks” are mulattos meaning half black.. or less.. i.e. Obama
Do they get less?... or anything?..
How many blacks are latinos?.. or foreign born?..
How Honkeyfied are american blacks, does anyone know?.. or Care?..
Anyone For this.... should be SLAPPED.. and eye poked..
Yeah, mine too.
I’m all for reparations to any American still living that was a slave.
I’d like to sue the descendants of the Union Army forces that raped my state and took what they wanted and burned the rest during the War Between the States .
Reparations for Rebs !
Deah Lawd,
Please gibmedats whut de white foks owes me.
Sweet Jesus,
Amens
Lets see. They were sold into slavery by the african tribes that captured them in wars between respective tribes.
Then after capture some Jewish merchant ships arrived off the coast and asked if the tribe had anything to trade.
Tribal chief with too many mouths to feed sold them to the Jewish merchant ships for trinkets. After this slick deal tribal chief says wow stupid white man pays for worthless
black men lets get more for next time ship arrives.
So who needs to pay reparations? Well the American white man of course!
Never mind the very first slave in America was owned by a black man.
First black that can prove he/she was a slave can get paid.
I will vote reparations under one condition: You take the money you will never ever ever be eligible for another penny of taxpayer money. Plus if you are convicted of a felony, money that is left is forfeited and you get deported back to Africa!
P.S. Would Obama/who ever he is be eligible?
[Eyeroll] I think five decades of welfare should cover it.
My family is from Poland. We had nothing to do with slavery.
Forgot, didn’t Lincoln want to deport all black back to Africa because he didn’t think they were capable of being Americans?
Also what about the 40 acres and a mule paid to former slaves?
Lets not mention all the lovely Democrats who belonged to the KKK and worked extra hard to terrorize blacks.
I don’t care who you are THAT’S FUNNY!
Lord forgive me.
Probably referring to the creation and continued existance of Israel.
Seriously, that’s probably what he thinks.
How about we just fulfill the 40 acres and a mule promise end call it even? There should be plenty of available land. In the desert southwest. But rather than mules maybe they could be convinced to accept Chevy Volts?
Hmmmm...."relations"....that's where one party's getting screwed by the other, right? Yup, that's exactly what you got here.
Here’s 20, 000.00 there’s the boat. Get on it.
George Zimmerman would be eligible for payments, BION.
You know, when I first came here to FR, I was impressed by the intelligent and thoughtful comments and humor from most FReepers. I was more left leaning at that time and reading FR at the end of the xlinton years helped turned me around.
Lately, there have been a few comments similar to the one you made on various threads. I didn’t used to see much of that here. You’re free to say what you want, I suppose, but if I were a black person questioning my own political, economic and social ideas - that kind of insulting gibe would turn me off to this place and that’s not what we are about. We want to win people to the right side, not scare them off.
