Bookshelf: I knew many great black men through 69 -70. Then Ted Kennedy’s welfare acts BS plus all the freebies made it to where a black man could not be in a black woman’s home after X hour. I was sent to Nebraska to complete college in 70-72. I had a Social Insurance Professor back then. He pushed that plus thought all handouts were just great.

To determine that you need to consult the Democratic racial standards. They are encapsulated in the Nuremburg Laws.

I’ll pay my share for any slaves I owned to anyone who was a slave. Just as soon as that person returns his/her share of the Trillions transferred in the “War on Poverty”.

If you want to observe an absolute idiot and affirmative-action model...see this nitwit. Toss this bum into the garbage can. What a tool. I guess he could start by divesting him self of his considerable personal wealth. Loser.

Lie the old cartoon depicting “ok, I dare you to step over THIS line [of dozens]“.

What, wasn’t enough to end slavery, kill 600,000 to do so, pay for reconstruction, do “40 acres and a mule” programs, create the “if you want to go back, here you go” nation of Liberia, trillion$ in welfare benefits, Affirmative Action, etc?

Enact “reparations” at this point and I’m dropping out of the taxable economy. Good luck finding the $800,000 each to pay it.

My family took in blacks and hid them under our floor boards. Can I apply for an exemption?

..and how then about reparations for the 600,000 men that died in the Civil War so the slaves could be freed?

Offer 1/4 of that, a one-way ticket to the destination of their choice, and loss of citizenship with no right to return.
