Now then, they aren't going to stop there. Because in the liberal mind, it's the 'evil' Republicans, especially the Conservatives, who are really responsible for the plight of the blacks. And these Republicans will not be let off the hook. It will now be the dems, assuming a 'moral highground' who say, "OK, even though we are innocent of any wrong doing, we magnaminously paid up. Now it's time to go after the real scoundrels...the Republicans!"

This makes absolutely no sense. By the way, you're not alone in this, but what is up with the use of a definite article to modify the word "blacks?" I don't get it.

Anyway, using strict political names, Democrats are responsible for slavery, not Republicans. Democrats can not say that "we are innocent of any wrongdoing." Sheriff Bull Connor was not a Republican. Dixiecrats were responsible for Jim Crow, not Republicans. But going back to slavery, look at which party represented the South during those times. It's overwhelmingly Democrat.

This issue must be killed, and killed now. It has already gained too much momentum.

If I refer to a group of folks from Ireland I'd say "the Irish". There's really nothing 'to get', it's just the way I talk, hence, the way I type.

Oh? They can't? Tell that to the Clintons.

And the dems may very well admit that they were 'wrong'. It's part of their 'compassionate' mindset. But I damn well guarantee you they wouldn't let Republicans escape without an even larger 'penalty'.

And as I said, this is only conjecture on my part. The idea of suing the dems may very well work as you intend it.
Just don't expect the liberals to not retaliate.
