Some New York lawmakers are renewing the push for a state law that would lay the groundwork to pay reparations to black residents whose ancestors were enslaved. Proponents gained steam after a task force in California last week recommended that the Golden State shell out $569 million in reparations to slaves’ descendents there, or $223,200 apiece, because of lingering housing discrimination practices.

From an article three days ago:

The nine-member panel concluded that black Californians whose ancestors were in the US in the 19th century are due $223,200 each due to housing discrimination practices utilized from 1933 to 1977, the New York Times reported.

How are they going to prove their ancestors were slaves? We’ve got Africans coming here by the thousands from Africa to get in on the “reparations” scheme. Giving freeloading bass turds from Africa a quarter million bucks each is the most retarded thing I’ve ever seen the buck-tooth inbred honkies do.

Fine with me - but all of the affirmative action laws should be thrown out when the reparations are paid.

How about reparations from the people who sold them into slavery in the first place, and from the Arabs who were the slave merchants?
