As we see General Sherman's 1865 issuance of Special Order 15 promised freed slaves in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida 40 acres and a mule. This quite timely and just act of reparations for people who had actual been slaves was revoked by Andrew Johnson after the assassination of Lincoln. Perhaps we can take a page from General Shermans playbook and kill a number of birds with one stone.
The government by virtue of its nationalization of Chrysler and probably GM is now the not-so-proud owner of hundreds of thousands of automobiles that nobody wants to buy. Similarly, the government has a huge supply of foreclosed properties through its direct ownership of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac not to mention the vast portfolio of foreclosed homes on the books of the insolvent banks it controls.
What we propose is a two-fer. Let us as a nation put the question of race to bed once and for all and in so doing also clear the books of the nationalized banks and auto makers. Let us give anyone who can prove they are a direct descendent of a slave a foreclosed home and a Chrysler. I admit it is not 40 acres and mule, but hey what would you do with mule in todays world anyway?
Should this one go in Bams on-line suggestion box?
OK, I’ll sign up to give blacks 40 acres and a mule (and a Chrysler.) As soon as they return the several trillion confiscated from whites and paid out as welfare, food stamps, etc.
Why worry about 40 acres and a mule when they already have a tax-payer funded mortgage and their very own JACKASS!
Reparations? You mean intentionally destroying the US with CRA isn’t enough? GM isn’t enough? Chrysler & Pontiac isn’t enough?
What IS enough? Killing all the Whites?
