Democratic convention chief wants reparations for blacks
World Net Daily ^ | August 11, 2008

Posted on 08/11/2008 9:34:56 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The leader anointed by the Democratic Party to assemble the coronation of a 2008 presidential candidate in Denver in two weeks espouses the same black liberation theology pursue by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church presumptive nominee Barack Obama was forced to leave because of its controversies.

Those included Wright's condemnation of America, a vicious attack on Hillary Clinton from the pulpit and others, and WND reported when, finally, the Obama campaign announced he was resigning his 20-year membership in the controversial organization.

Now a profile in the New York Times has revealed that Rev. Daughtry, whose father, Herbert Daughtry, who served prison time during his 20s for armed robbery and bad checks, also runs a church, shares popular "black liberation theology" beliefs such as the "debt" the United States "owes" all blacks as reparations for the existence of slavery two centuries back.

In a description of the church where family members have preached for decades, the Times said, "Below the sanctuary, in the fellowship hall, a banner for slavery reparations proclaimed, 'They Owe Us.' Fliers recounted Herbert Daughtry's arrest, a few weeks earlier, as he led marchers protesting the not-guilty verdict in the police killing of Sean Bell, an unarmed black man. His ministry has always combined consuming spirituality with black liberation theology – the theology Jeremiah Wright invoked this spring to defend his controversial sermons – and zealous political activism. Leah holds these forces within her."

Judi McLeod, a former Toronto Sun columnist, reported it will be, "Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a skirt" as CEO of the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Since the Indians were “here first,” shouldn’t we start with them first? Then there were the Spaniards...

Question. Are the blacks living today whose ancestors fought in the Union Army going to have to pay reparations too?

Sure, right after we provide reparations for all the WHITE Civil War families that were left without a head of household.

Democratic National Committee Chief of Staff Leah Daughtry may not have been entirely honest with Washington DC.

The New York-born Pentecostal minister turned politico allegedly exploited DC’s property tax exemptions.

Countless citizens use the Homestead Deduction to cut their tax rates nearly in half. The district’s law states, however, that to take advantage of the deduction, you must vote in DC. Some say Daughtry didn’t get the memo, because she’s been registered to vote in New York City since February 21, 1996. The original deduction law said nothing about voting in DC, but lawmakers changed the rule back in 2002.

Someone should ask him about reparations at a town hall meeting. If you have to submit a question before hand, change it up at the microphone...

Seems like the leftist Dems have been extorting tax $$ for decades already and providing reparations in the form of social programs like welfare, affirmative action and a whole host of other ineffective giveaways. Now they want to take more from us all?

How about the northern states paying 'reparations' to the southern states for the damaged caused by the civil war or vise-versa. Ridiculous!

And Michelle is the opening speaker - can she resist, in 20 minutes, bringing up reparations?

These people are so steeped in their Marxist thinking that they don’t realize that even a lot of regular-folk democrats aren’t.

Betcha they’ll sing the National Anthem again - The BLACK National Anthem...sure hope so.

I would think the descendants of blacks who fought in the Confederate Army would have to pay since they are “Uncle Tom traitors”.

the “Faith in Action” team (3 evangelicals, a Catholic, a Muslim and a Jew— which is trying to inject religion into the Democratic Convention, decided to have a prayer service to start the convention: “the service would be held in a theater, in neutral, secular space, so as not to offend anyone; the question was how to make the televised event look sacred.”

It is an attempt to make the Party look religious, without offending anyone who thinks politics should not be religious.

One theory is that they come from hell. Another says they spawn from Marxist-academia. But I repeat myself.

This reparations crap is the most enabling rascist whoremongering tact yet. This is socialist redistributionist theory that must never happen.

An estimated 70% of Americans are bi-racial or multi-racial, and most don’t know it until they start checking out geneologies.

There were many reasons why people went west in the past two centuries. Changing your race on census records was just one.

Blacks in the US are so much better off today than their peers in Africa, I really think they should pay a "glad" tax--should be so glad they are here with food, shelter, medical care, to say nothing of TVs, phones, cars, ipods, etc., instead of there.

So I will go with reparations right after the Indians are paid and the blacks pay their glad tax. If any are still resentful of not being in Africa, they could forgo the glad tax and use the funds for a one way plane ticket to whichever country they prefer.

Of course, the Indians have their reparations to some extent by being settled on lands over vast oil reserves and getting revenge on the white man by skimming them in the Indian casinos.
