"The abolishment of slavery was really a constitutional scam and the 14th Amendment that allegedly made African people citizens of America was imposed on us. We were never asked if we wanted to be citizens."

What a can of worms this complaint could turn out to be. Imagine the ramifications if his wish came through. I bet this one comment alone gets 50 replies to this thread when everyone wakes up.

"What about the fact that now you're in America, the land of opportunity as opposed to being in Africa with malaria, dictators and things like that,"

Great point

[samtheman]

If I were African-American I'd get down on my knees and pray thanks to god for letting slavers grab my ancestors and get me out of the horrors of the "homeland". Thank god I didn't grow up in Somalia or any of the other hell-holes on the African continent. Thank god.

According to Worrill, "The abolishment of slavery was really a constitutional scam and the 14th Amendment that allegedly made African people citizens of America was imposed on us. We were never asked if we wanted to be citizens."

Oookay...all in favor of revoking the citizenship and going back "home" [to Africa], say "Aye." Please check whether your departure will be by boat or plane. Check all luggage. Tickets! Get your tickets! Allll AAAbbboooaaarrrdddd.

Bye, bye, bye...

"The abolishment of slavery was really a constitutional scam and the 14th Amendment that allegedly made African people citizens of America was imposed on us. We were never asked if we wanted to be citizens."

Whats stopping them from renouncing their citizenship and moving to Uganda or whatever 'dead-goat tick eating country in Africa? Pay these idiots reperations of $1000 and 1 one way ticket with the signed promise to renounce their citizenship and never contaminate this country with their ilk again!

Only thing that scares me is that if Bush is willing to substadize housing for blacks, then he'll probably pay these jackasses reparations.

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), and a critic of the rally, said, "If that many people have enough money to go to D.C. to march, then they don't need reparations."

Amen. If only the News Jackals would repeat this 24/7 like they do the utterances of other "civil rights leaders...."

[RightOnline]

If I may.............allow me to summarize the message of these twits (and yeah, only a few hundred will show........tops):

"GimmegimmegimmegimmecuzI'mblackgimmegimmegimmeIhateWhiteygimmegimmegimme!"

Disgusting.

Then Go Back To Africa!!

.....See if life there is better than you have it here.

[Pern]

The theme of the rally is: "They owe us!"

We don't owe you $hit!

We were never asked if we wanted to be citizens.

I, as a tax paying citizen, have no objection to the government giving you a one-way ticket back to Africa. But a tip before you go, those BLACK people in Africa cannot stand American Negroes.

[JEC]

If they don't like being American citizens than they all can move to, let's say, IRAQ.

[Mamzelle]

Golden opportunity to demand that Hillary, Daschle, Gephardt, et al take a definitive stand on the issue of reparations. Wonder how best to go about it?

[DWSUWF]

LOL!

I'm sure plenty of people will make this same point, but I can't resist remarking that I'll invest the relatively modest 'effort' required to avoid ever actually being out of pocket in this regard until I've had the experience of owning a slave MYSELF.

And I've got plenty of hard physical labor around here that a meat-headed slave could handle.

Then I'll pay. Not before.

And, if the bill is to be a high one, I intend to mistreat my slave accordingly...

This is a joke, right?

Most will agree it is a bad idea. Try to keep the emotionalism to a minimum. There are positive signs of latent racism in the posts made to this point. Most conservative blacks, many who frequent this forum, are uncomfortable with the notion that reparations are owed. They are probably even more uncomfortable with wise cracking FReepers who type before they think. So, if you have an opinion on this subject, spend a little time thinking upon what it is that you object to before you spew your guts.

[isthisnickcool]

I predict with 100% accuracy that the number of former American slaves that will show up for this march will be ZERO!

[PJ-Comix]

It will be interesting to see which Demmycrat politicians show up at this rally....Hillary? Dashole? Holy Joe? The Shyster? Senator Heinz?

I already know that Rev. Al will be there.

Bump to that! I love the good Reverend! (and he makes an excellent point! LOL!)
