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....

I’m all for reparations — as long as they’re paid entirely by the Democrat party and all Democrat affiliated organizations.

Oh, yeah, reparations. Paid by people who never owned slaves to people who never were slaves. I really don't think so.

However, if it works there are some Visigoths who owe me bigtime.

What do I get, since my great-great grandfather died in the Civil War fighting against slavery?

Certainly I and all his other descendants are entitled to reparations for his making the ultimate sacrifice for black people. We probably would settle for much less than we are entitled to, say a couple of million should do it. But that is not so much divided up among a couple hundred of his descendants.

Joel is a true nazist, as so many blacks. An Obama model subject.
