$64 trilion dollars now. It climbs fast.
Will Rachel Dolezal have to pay herself?
Will the white half of Obama be forking any over to his black half??
Dear Miss Sutton,
Please inform me how long you have been enslaved and for how much you believe you are personally entitled to.
Sorry.You aren't getting one penny. Find a new issue to bitch about.
rofl. I have reparations for them. But they have to meet me at a certain bar in Bay Ridge. Where they’ll be safe.
Imagine how vapid and shallow her life must be that in late middle age her prime concern is hitting the welfare mother lode rather than reflecting on or participating in some real accomplishment.
“Gibsmedat.”
I'm looking at my last pay stub, and noticed that I got $26¼ in Fed Taxes taken out of my cheque, to say nothing of Medicare and SS.
More than $13.13 of that is used to fund social welfare programmes that disproportionately "aid" Negroes, in the form of AFDC/TANF, above all, which is COLD HARD CASH that is just GIVEN to them, with almost no strings attached (thanks to Obama).
Have you NOT achieved the goal of extorting reparations from the segment of the WORKING American population?
Which, BTW, is disproportionately WHITE?
Moreover, this outright EXTORTION affects ANYONE who works, and draws a cheque from a private employer. Even those who work for low wages, like myself.
I could use an extra $13 every fortnight, to pay for my engineering degree. (And the loans that come with it)
Around the same time, I was looking over my telephone bill. I pay $13 in taxes alone, of which ~$6 goes to the Fed/State Obamaphone slush funds.
Reagan created the Universal Service Fund/Lifeline to give less affluent Americans the opportunity to stay connected. It provided a discount on regular telephone service, and the subscriber still paid the difference. They had some "skin in the game," as some would say.
Of course, Obama just had to give something else away to his worshippers...
Wherever the Obamaphone service is carried along a GSM network like Cingular or VoiceStream, there is NOTHING stopping the benefit-recipient from getting an (unlocked) iPhone or high-end Android SMART-PHONE off eBay, &c., and inserting the smart-card that provides the free telephone service into it, further cutting the card down as necessary.
Ta-da! Now we're paying for their free phone, and Internet service.
Because, unlike those who push for reparations, I realise that NOTHING in life is just handed to me. I have to WORK for it, and in turn, make my own life better.
That is why I endure the long hours, and physically demanding work now, while looking forward to starting my career, with low debt.
But paying for all this FreeStuff™ is really testing my patience, knowing what the recipients do with it.
I tend to write impassioned speeches from time to time..../rant off
Simply not true
Having read your message, I totally agree with reparations. I too am an African-American and believe I should be made whole since my ancestors weren't.
You ask ancestors? Okay. Archeological science has long determined that Homoerectus and later Homosapiens came from the Africa continent. No matter the differences in skin color, eye color, hair color/texture, nose size, lip size, skinny butt, big butt, etc., we are ALL African-Americans.
The above said, the entire world is grateful for your tireless efforts. Please let me know where to pick up my check. I need some new Jordans.
Cordially,
A Don't Give One Sh*t About Your Erroneous Pathetic Issue.
Ps. Rachel Dolezal, the president of your NAACP chapter in Spokane, WA is doing you supposedly true African-Americans wrong. Still, hope I get my check.
PPs. Are you now or have you ever been a "community organizer" for the slave trade that is still current in Africa? Think Somalia for one. If not, I would be happy to send you the stats and particulars.
What about repairations? It ain’t gonna happen unless Obola gets a third term. Believe me, if Eric Holder could have forced it upon us, he would’ve.
Translation: I don’t want to have to work for a living...GIMME!!!
That term must be appealing because it sounds a bit lyrical and easily grasped because it is finite. But it is apocryphal. But it wouldn't be the first time leftists have attempted to claim fantasy as fact.
The question now should be how do we make reparations, not if.
An excellent question! We've paid out trillions to descendants of slaves with risibly lax criteria for eligibility. What do we have to show for it?
Drugs sold and used on a widespread scale. Alcoholism. Violence and vandalism. Illegitimate births on a cosmic scale. Our major cities have become no-go zones with police characterized as the problem by so-called black leaders.
Out of human decency we promise no person will be turned away from emergency rooms and soon the rooms are treated like family doctors' offices with no prospect of receiving payment for services and forcing those with actual emergencies to wait hours for treatment.
We build housing units and offer miniscule rents (e.g. $80/month). We even have an agency that parachutes you into safer, more desirable suburbs and puts you in a house or a condo. In both cases you trash the property within months and annoy your neighbors.
Insurance premiums continue to climb as vehicle break-ins and home/business burglaries continue apace. Gas stations, banks, convenience stores and even the smallest retail business must shell out for CCTV that would make East Germany blush.
Crimes of assault, murder, and theft mean that parents sit in their cars to meet the school bus every day at dropoff and pickup. Kids are smothered by caution and raised to be anxiety cases. In places where our right to bear arms is not infringed, we must purchase and maintain guns and often pay for training and target practice in order to be prepared to defend ourselves against such random acts of violence.
We lavishly fund, via property taxes, the schools so frequently demanded as an equal right but those making the demand send their feral children who disrupt the classroom daily, even hourly, and are promoted/graduated despite having learned nothing because you threaten the schools with fatuous claims of discrimination if they don't.
Reparations? By all means! Now get your checkbook out and start writing!
