"Hundreds of blacks rallied in front of the Capitol on Saturday to demand slavery reparations, saying that compensation is long overdue for the ills of that institution."

Someone needs to send them this link........DIXIE'S CENSORED SUBJECT

Oh, my lord....I'm watching the rerun. So far, they're up to John Conyers and my blood pressure is through the roof. He is just flat out lying.

So they want "millions of acres"? Okay, I'll go for that.

There are millions of acres available in Africa. And international airfares are at bargain rates. I'll do my share and put in for two one-way tickets to Africa for anyone who wants his "millions of acres."

Given the recent history of Africa, it will be a race to see whether they die of starvation, die of AIDS, or die in tribal warfare. One way or the other, they will die as a consequence of their own stupidity. In any event, they will have what they want, and their fate will no longer be our problem.

Glad I could be of service.

A lot more showed up than you might think. It's just that most of them took Calypso Louie up on the free tour of the mothership.

If we don't have another civil war, it will be a miracle.

Chicken Lou Little inadvertently showed everyone how empty the nonsense is by scheduling only 15 minutes to address the rent a mob.

I'm not talking about just black and white. We have too many forces opposing each other now. Abortionists, homosexuals, reparationists, radical environmentalists, etc.

You are right. They sit on the front porch (rent paid for by the taxpayers), refuse to work unless it be ezecutive jobs you know.

Actually, if the 'great society' 'stuff'was totalled up, they would owe the US Treasury money...as in a whole lot of money.

There was one lady up there who had teeth so bad I could have sworn she came from England.

My taxes have already paid much in "foreign aid" to African nations. Since these are the governments the folks in this movement love (African first - American second), they have already been compensated.

"We need millions of acres of land that black people can build.''

Well there is a lot of free land overseas, one continent that comes to mind is Africa! Go for it Mr. Farrakhan.

``We're not begging white people,''

Then take the bull by the horns and resolve your issues on your own if you are not begging. Or is it easier just to take it by the tail and face the situation.
