If they would be paid reparations for being slaves, then wouldn't their status be that of Africans and not as Americans? How can we pay our own people for what we did to ourselves unless some of us aren't Americans? We can't have it both ways unless we stop using the word 'we' when talking about all Americans. It will be us and them and that sounds too much like the past repeating itself.

How many people did the Minions for Reparations rally actually draw again?

Kick the drug dealers out of the neighborhood so that the children you’ve fathered can go to school in a safe environment. Marry the girl you’ve gotten pregnant, stay there through good times and bad times. Solve the cultural pathologies of violence, drugs, illegitimacy/the breakdown of the family, and the rejection of “white values” like a focus on academics, education and success, and solve the problems of the black community. The great irony is that my message invites condemnation from the left and their behavior warrants protection.

This message should be branded upon some of the speakers foreheads.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

What a bunch of losers!

The Republicans, as usual, are making a tremendous mistake in not getting every single elected Democrat on the record about Reparations.

Meanwhile, the Dems are using the old tried-and-true Gramscian tactics to advance this agenda. First, the radicals and "agents of change" begin beating the drum. The culture at large mainly ignores them, only occasionally bothering to condemn them. But slowly, surely, inevitably, the issue becomes normalized and detoxified.

Over time, a few "mainstream" Democrats will take the "controversial but principled" position that Reparations "need to be discussed." This will provoke a belated and hysterical reaction on the part of conservatives and Republicans, which will allow the Dems and their media allies to portray us as racist.

And since there is no greater crime in this great Democracy than racism, no blacker stain on one's soul and reputation, this will provide the cover needed by the rest of the fence-sitting Dems to come out in favor of Reparations.

Amazing how these tactics work every single time. And amazing that no one on our side ever seems to recognize them for what they are.
