So he wants to start 'their' own government? Does he have someplace in mind? Money to start the government? etc. I say, if he does don't let the door hit any of them on the way out.

No one has more opportunity for advancement in this country than blacks. All they have to do is take advantage of a free education, study hard, get good grades and they'll get a scholarship to college.

I'm amused that Oprah has suddenly discovered poverty in America. How many millions has she given away to Africa?

She was born in Mississippi and, by her own admission, grew up poor, did she not consider with all her pay it forward stuff about reaching back down to Mississippi and helping some of the people there? or, is it easier to chastise the white man over the poverty?

Money to start the government?
Oh......he has thought everything out. Heexplained that the money from reparations will be used to fund the government. He also appealed for contributions to tide things over till the reparations money came in....LOL.

[plain talk]

Money to start the government?

Money? Yes, he addressed that. He said the federal government should pay for it. After all we are descendants of people who enslaved them etc and are reaping the benefits from slavery. He also addressed reparations but I think the money for his ministries would be in addition to reparations but I could be wrong. Kind of hard to follow if you know what I mean. Fascinating speech by the way. Good entertainment value.
