I did go to the website and found essentially the same information which includes a host of monetary demands which certainly appears to be compensation.
I for one, am happy to see this kind of a record put into the public light, but I am at the same time just as opposed to any type of reparations as I have been from all of the leftist attempts at such extortion. I would be completely disingenuous to now support it simply because it's aimed at Democrats.
This still fits into David Horowitz' list against reparations, point 1 "Assuming there is actually a debt, it is not at all clear who owes it".
After the amusement wears off, we must oppose this just as vehemently as all the others.
They might want to put some ice on that.
Hey, I agree with you all.....I'm not for reparations either.... but I think Perryman wanted to hold the Democrats responsible and to show other African Americans that their 'loyality' was 'unfounded'.
same here.
reparations WILL cause a civil war.
i did no wrong to no black, my parents did no wrong, my grandparents did no wrong, my great grandparents did no wrong. my sister eats lives and breaths geniology and has gone back hundreds of years. we are of irish descent and at a time in the past were not the most cherished nationality in the USA.
to me this just adds to the handout gimme gimme image many whites have towards blacks.
to all my friends no matter what race.
you want money, EARN IT! i ain't given it up because your dear old great great grandpappy was sold into slavery by a nieghboring tribe.
i don't want my rant to offend anyone, but i am very passionate about this issue and will fight by all means to thwart any attempt at getting into my pocket.
Thank you for the link.
I did go and read his site.
Partisanship wants me to back his attack on the rats, but for the sake of partisanship alone I am not and probably will never be convinced of reparations.
If he was going after the party to dissolve it because of it's past & present crimes, including racial cultivation I could back it.
His charge, as written, puts the entire political spectrum into chaos. That would include jailing the likes of Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Rangel, Waters, etc. etc. for advancing crimes on a national basis through a political party, backed by the MSM, advanced through various times that they ran the respective governments tricling down to taxpayers and voters.
Then voters and members would be affected for just holding an voter ID of the wrong party.
I don't like it. None of it.
>>>>My case against the Democrats, Rev. Perryman told the court, "is about a powerful political party that promoted and practiced racism for 170 years (1792-1962) until it infected our entire nation and affected an entire race." The Democratic Party's racist practices, Rev. Perryman said, continue to affect African Americans today. Most of the acts committed by the Democrats against African Americans were initiated and committed at the state level under the Democratic Party's claims of States’ Rights based on the party's Jim Crow Laws and Black Codes.<<<<<<
Let's throw salt on this and charge the Democratic Party with 'Hate Crimes'.
I love it!!!
Bump
Bump
Bump!
If this thing gets legs and any member of your family was ever a registered democrat you're screwed.
This is bad stuff.
Come Read THis!!
Come read this!
And I am very glad to see that put out, especially by a Black man who clearly has a vested interest. And it needs to be a part of any record that it was Republicans that saved the Union, abolished slavery and passed the 13th , 14th and 15th Amendments.
More stuff like this will clearly put the Dems on the defensive where they need to be, and for making financial slavery their platform for the past 75 years.
Obviously, you haven't been here too long. I'm rabidly disgusted with DemonRats, so much so that I coined the word DemonRats, and make many of my statements graphically, that I make myself.
Just so you know, I've been Lady Jag for a year and was sciendiet from '99 til then. Just so you you know what you're looking for.
While I'm glad to see the Democrat party called out onto the carpet for their inherent bigotry, half of this story is bad news.
As the plaintive states, this case will become a part of judicial history for years to come. It can also be used to establish precedent in future, across-the-board reparation suits.
I'm half hoping this is appealed and struck down. Better to give them a temporary black eye than to cut all our noses off to spite all our faces.
Is he going to sue Robert Byrd?
You go, Rev.! : )
Here is one for your database!!!
Activism at it's finest.
"I won't applaud reparations. No matter who gets nailed."
Same here. But I love reading the title of this thread!
