Hear, hear. For the record, I am very very angry at slave holders, plantation masters and the unethical white opportunists who brought the hundreds of thousands of africans to the new world. I am so angry that I believe their descendants (us), should make reparations. I believe that we owe it to Africans in America to apologize to each of those who are angry at white people and feel they are still being “kept down”. We should apologize in an elaborate ceremony on the tarmac at Dulles Airport as we hand each a $20,000 check and carry their bags onto the 747 that will take them back to Monrovia or Johannesburg.
And once we apologize to them, we should shed a tear as we collect their American passports once and for all. Oh, and for any Africans who want to stay here, they can simply sign a statement saying that they intend to fully utilize their franchise, work hard, put the baloney behind them and become full working members of American society.
This is all sort of a double edged sword. Suppose a prominent politician said: “I wish slavery had never occurred in America”. There would be a cry throughout the land that this POL was racist because he wishes there were no black people in America. Personally, I just don’t give a damn anymore. America has done more than enough to erase the “stain” of slavery. The best thing to ever happen to black Americans is the enslavement of their forefathers. This is politically incorrect to say, but factual. Poverty in this country is not a death sentence. The same cannot be said for Africa....
