I want reparations for the family members who fought to free the slaves and died for their efforts.
All the money the tax payers have paid out in the last 30 to forty years in welfare when do we get this paid back. I am white but my forefathers came here as slaves where do I apply for my front porch money.
I demand reparations from the government of Italy for the enslavement of my ancestors by Romans.
Ummmmmmmm.
One of my Grandchildren is Irish-Korean-African.
What's our share of the . . . loot?
I want our fair share! Reparations, now!
Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.
Scroom all.
I am really, really..., no, really, tired of hearing about this crap.
I will never willingly part with one cent of my money for these welfare kings, poverty pimps and ambulance chasing P'sOS.
But I am not so naive as to think the goobermint will ask my permission before it gives it away to them.
Anybody who thinks that Wachovia is going to actually cough up money for this has obviously never done business with Wachovia. A number of years ago I was stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, in the middle of Wachovia-land. We used to call Wachovia Walk-Over-Ya.
Talk is cheap. And they'll give you all of that you can stand. It is the thing that they do best. Getting actually money out of them? Ha! When pigs fly.
For that reason, I think this whole thing is some liberal idiot's wet dream, but no more than that. Even if Wachovia is headed up by a pandering idiot, which it is.
Let me get this straight. One hundred fifty years ago a bank accepts as collateral a borrower's slaves. Everything is legal. 150 years later that bank is bought by another bank. You now say that the shareholders of the buying bank owe reparations to black people in general? This is a hybrid between insanity and extortion.
I support reparations. Let's give any whiner a check for $10,000 as long as he agrees to surrender his citizenship, leave the country, and never come back. I think we'd come out ahead in that deal.
If Ward Churchill is an Indian then I am black, at least as black as Bill Clinton. In fact I may have a sex change operation and become a triple minority, black, homo, and female. I am in bad need of some reparations and some affirmative action. Hey, and my SS is not enough either. You guys pay up!! And give me a government job, too!
Dave Chappelle has the best description of what would happen if reparations were actually paid...
