Obama suggests reparations to blacks, Native Americans (Hey Honkey, get yo wallet out!)

We're already paying reparations in the form of affirmative action, welfare and myriad government programs that favor minorities over whites. Many view AA as reverse discrimination because if it isn't reparations then it's nothing but favoritism.

I actually have supported the idea of reparations for years. I think they should come up with a figure and let's just get it over with and pay up.

HOWEVER, once that is done the debt is PAID IN FULL, that means no more affirmative action, quotas and the like.

In the end it is a win win for the majority, the money is going to get spent, and get spent here at business the sell the goods urban folks like, so it will stay in the economy, and in most cases come directly back into our pockets. And we get rid of the government favoritism to boot.

Of course as weak as the Republicans have been we will be out the money and still have the laws on the books...

[Snurple]

McCain needs to bring this up and hammer on it. The only thing magic about obummer is the number of white idiots he has bamboozled into supporting him.

Someone needs to ask Mr. Obama when the Democrats will officially acknowledge, apologize and pay reparations out of their own party coffers for their LEADING ROLE in maintaining and defending the institution of slavery, for birthing the KKK, for enacting and enforcing all of the Jim Crow legislation, and for opposing civil rights legislation throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Oh, and let's not forget the Copperhead Democrats who pressed Lincoln to end the fighting and negotiate an immediate peace with the Confederates.

Oh yeah, and while they're at it, I’m still waiting for the Democrats’ outraged condemnation of the still-sitting senior Democrat senator Robert Byrd, who not only filibustered AGAINST the civil rights act of 1964 in the Senate, and was an officer in the KKK, but who dared to go on national TV (in the 21st century, yet) to demonstrate his evolved racial understanding by graciously conceding that you don't have to be black to be a "nigger."

I recently made these points to a Democrat of my acquaintance, who responded with the standard "yeah but the Democrats have changed" -- as if America as a whole hasn't.

[Maceman]

well I am 1/32 native american..where do I sign up?

I got news for ya. If you were born here then you are 100% as native American as Pocahontas. Pass it on.

A friend sent me an email he received from a soldier in Afganastan about Obama’s visit, wish I knew how to post it so it would be read by many.

Most likely it was BS.

And Germans and Irish.

And Frisians.

[bill1952]

No. Most liberal trash agrees 100%

I would be willing to contribute to one-way tickets to Africa for any who are willing to do it. Apparently they figure they have it worse here. Of course, they’ll all pull Alec Baldwins on that arraingment.

[boomop1]

Good idea...

[iopscusa]

I like the way you think...civilizational royalties owed to whites.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Between this and his $800Bn “war on world poverty”, how much is Barak Obama going to cost the average white taxpayer?

Everything!!!

I hate these racists masquerading as people. They focus on race as the central issue, slavery as the major sin of America and themselves as the way to end racism forever. I say we are not guilty.

I know that tension between "races" is alive and well in 2008, but I also know that constantly focusing on race only perpetuates racism. Slavery??? C'mon, America did away with slavery over 100 years ago and the civil rights struggles of the 1960s should have ended the false perceptions and inequality that remained. Instead, we have a small variety of race hustlers who continually harp on race, poor treatment, past sins and why the white people can't be trusted.

If a tenth of the effort was spent on the many, many examples of racial equality and harmony and the success of many individuals instead of on supposed racism, we would be a much better society and racism would go away.

[tobyhill]

The tensions you speak about is due to Affirmative Action. We have people trying to get ahead only because of their race and people looking at race being the reason they couldn't get ahead.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

The Michele Obama Hate video will come out in October as a “Surprise” is my guess—but Obama may implode before then. Race will be his downfall, if he keeps using it. Obama is his own worst enemy.

[Salvation]

Race card baiting?

[calex59]

No, what it will be is a tax increase, and some sort of bureaucratic program set up that will give money to the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Probably other leftwing orgs as well, like planned parenthood, etc.

What? No forty acres and a mule?

[calex59]

You highlight the text of the email, then you right click on the text(it should have turned blue when you highlighted it) and then click on "copy"(you should see that option in a menu).

Then when you post a comment you right click into the comment box(like the one I am writing in now) and click "paste", which is another option you will see on the menu. That will paste the text inside the comment box.

Another way to do it is to search, using google or better yet dogpile or some other not liberal search engine and type how to copy text. You should find several links that will explain, better than I, how to copy and paste.

Here’s my response to anyone who advocates reparations: What caliber would you like to have those paid in?

[Snow Eagle]

Hey it’s not us Native Americans who are whining about not getting reparations! I think he just threw us in so he didn’t look COMPLETELY racist! One branch of my tree is Lenape(Delaware) the other is Irish — who fought in the civil war to FREE the slaves. Likewise it was a REPUBLICAN president who FREED the slaves. Congress has greased the skid to reparations with their idiotic apology this week. IMHO, by making reparations, the dems are saying that the blacks aren’t smart enough or “good” enough to “make it” on their own without government assistance. Personally, I think that’s racist.
