Jesse: Stick to reparations for your mistress and love child...850,000 deaths in the American Civil War is reparation enough for slavery!

Jesse Jackson wouldn't make reparations a priority unless there was something in it for him personally. Reparations is the next hot ticket for lining JJ's pocket and he's going to pull the same stunts he pulled with Toyota. As long as he can help himself to some of the loot he'll be all for it. Its not about helping the black community its what's good for JJ. Watch him drop it like a stone if he don't get the dough from da Man.

Screw JJ and Screw reperations.
JJ can go get reperations from the folks in Africa who sold their own kind into slavery.
Ha poooi (spitting mad)

Exactly. Support is slipping as his real agenda (himself) is exposed. He's trying to rally the troops with fear, hate, and greed in order to get them in line behind him again and against those who would rustle them for their own support (Rev Al). Just listen to the whine....

I would expect nothing less of the "Right Reverend" Jackson than to attempt to profit from this ultimate scam.

(However, the more this one is pushed, the more it will backfire.)

Two ideas for reparations: $1.00 or a one-way ticket to any sub-Saharan African country of the Revvrend Shackson's choice.

"In many ways, Africa subsidized America and Europe's development,"

Africa made a profit in selling their own people into slavery.

A powerful core of civil rights and class-action lawyers, which includes Johnnie Cochran Jr., is now preparing a lawsuit seeking reparations for American blacks descended from slaves -- the undisclosed amount being sought is said by some to be near a trillion dollars.

Since blacks have always received a disproportionate amount in terms of of welfare funding ... going back decades ... factor this into any proposed reparation payment ... and then send them a bill.

The IRS should be coming down on both Rainbow/PUSH and the NAACP re their tax-exempt status -- political organizations are not qualified.

This could become ugly in terms of a visceral response from those who oppose reparations.

Lessee; $1.00 in reparations, less $100 billion/year in welfare timex 35 years. Guess we have enough repayment coming back in for a tax cut for those that actually work (which is a lot) large enough for them to create more jobs.

We always underestimate jackazz Jackson and the LIBERALs. The demorats got 99% of the black vote because they promised to support reparation (part of the platform) and they are backed by the LIBERAL media.

They have a well organized team, and if you think this will go away easily, you are a fool!

Nobody knows more about being crooked than Jackson.

After years of Extorting & Screwing Corporate America out of Millions, Rev. JackAss has put his Bullseye on America herself for Blackmail. Keep driving a wedge between the races scumbag and then reap the Harvest which will grow into Racial Violence.

Think about it. If your a Republican, things aren't looking so bad:

1. Gary Condit stays until the election. Reminding everyone how sleazy Dems behave.

2. Janet Reno running for Gov. Florida ('nuff said.).

3. Jesse Jackson trying to divide America racially.

4. Al Sharpton running for President.

5. President Bush swinging a demographic (hispanic vote) that is as large a population as the African-American vote, over to the Republican side.
