Let's calculate the diference based upon the average income for a black in Africa vs. a black in America multiplied by the last 150 years or so since slavery was outlawed. And see who needs to be writing a check. The average annual income in Africa is $500, just by the way.

That sounds like a fine calculus. Would someone please tell me though that reparations has no chance of making it through? When I first started reading these stories, I was certain this idea came from the Black Marxist fringe, but it's beginning to sound like some in the mushy middle are actually beginning to take this seriously. Tell me I'm wrong.

What's the difference, by the way, between Black reparations and getting robbed by a pack of biker thugs on a camping trip?

No, no, no, NO!

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. Reparations are an EXCELLENT idea.

We need to restore all African-Americans demanding reparations, to the financial condition that they would be in now, if their ancestors had not been brought over here. That's the only fair way of redressing the wrong!!
