Oh no! Poor Wanderer! I lost Figaro years ago when we moved. I still miss him.
I am not giving up, a family friend still lives near that area and she says she has her eyes peeled.
Peeling eyes sounds painful to me though
Strange, I thought that the victorious tribes who sold slaves to the whites were paid off back then.
Maybe Glover should try to convince all those millionaire black "sports", "rap","hip hop" and drug czars to pitch in and help the descendants of the African slave lords that sold their lucky ancestors into slavery that allowed them to arrive in America...
Africa has EXACTLY what Africa and their Leftist Liberal apologists demanded: Black Rule, Freedom from colonization, and the right to murder white farmers and steal their land...
Africa --- the poster child for the Turd World.....
Semper Fi
She must be a good friend. I'd peel a banana for you, but not my eyes!
I'll bet you the Eminent Persons Group pocketed any money allocated to the study, after insuring OAU staffers got their percentage of course.
Danny should try reading Kaplan's "To the Ends of the Earth." Decades of corruption and incompetence are to blame for the plight of "the African people." Not us.
Of course, Kaplan is a little deeper than The Enquirer......
The self-pity and victimhood hustlers are testing out the guilt trip on Whitey.
Messers Glover and Mandela, go take a flying leap off a cliff.
Reparations for slavery. This coming from a guy who kisses the butt of a tyrant like Castro. What a putz. How about reparations for people who have done 20 years or more in Cuban prisons just for trying to live in freedom?
The circumstances that brought slaves to the US were not morally right, but the reparation pimps don't even talk about the slave traders culpability. They don't even talk today about slave traders at work right now in the Sudan. The only reason that isn't on their agenda is that they have zero, nada, absolutely, positively, NO freaking change of getting penny one from them. Go for the deep pockets, hit hard and run away with all the coin that shakes out.
Anything the US 'owed' slaves was paid for with blood by the North in the civil war. Not to mention that you can't make a society that has never had slaves, pay a bunch of people that never were slaves. It's the shakedown to end all shakedowns.
Descendants of African Americans today would have to agree that they have far more opportunities in the US than those in any Africa country. Not taking advantage of educational and other opportunities is not the fault of the US.
Finally, you could see this trouble starting up again from a mile away when JPMorgan Chase & Co made their foolish apology last month. Here is a company that said they were sorry and offering scholarships, and the reparations pimps come out of the woodwork and say the amount doesn't even scratch the surface. What they should do now is withdraw the offer, take a few days of PR hits and keep their big freaking mouths shut for the rest of eternity.
Gee, I wonder if any other large company has plans to come out and apologize after they've seen whats happening to Chase?
"Nuts!"
Danny Glover sliding into irrelevancy since the acting jobs have dried up.
Denny Crane: "There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News."
Why not go to the Arab slave traders who captured his ancestors, and to this day are taking black slaves?
Black conservative ping
If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)
Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
I'm of Finnish descent and we were invaded by the Soviets. Please send cash, Vladimir. A million should sooth my deep mental anguish.
How come the leftists never suggest that the Arab muslims, who conquered North Africa, should pay reparations to blacks?
For that matter, the Italians should pay reparations to France, Germany, and Great Britain for that whole Roman empire thing...
