"Japanese-Americans interned during World War II"

Interned?

[goldstategop]

"Gimme The Money!!!"

[OldSmaj]

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I will never willingly, and of my own free will, give up one damn cent for this reparation bullshit.

Mark my words, this will become one of the most devisive issues since the war between the states.

I see nothing but trouble down the road if this issue continues to be pushed, particularly in the "ram it down whitey's throat" manner in which it is now being addressed.

This has nothing to do with racism, bigotry or "fairness", it has everything to do with the race-baiting, poverty-pimping likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, this "Obadele" character (felon) and the worst of the NAACP, all of which see nothing but dollar signs.

And some folks wonder why the "Angry White Man" is so angry.

It's interesting to me that a person who asks for $4 - $10 Trillion from the American taxpayers for slavery reparations is named Dick America.

[goldstategop]

Yeah they think American taxpayers will "Monica" them, huh? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Bwahahahaha!!!

"There's a lot of goofy discussion, which makes people crazy," he said.

Much like this article.

These kind of Blacks are all for give me, but, no desire to go out and earn. Even the democrap judges will not buy this crap.

[STONEWALLS]

.."with the goal of wresting control of five Deep South states and creating a separate black nation."

...hmm...wonder which 5 states he's talking about?...SC, GA, AL, MS, LA maybe?....blacks have been legally siezing power in parts of those states anyway....given the demographics [higher birth rate] they're probably going to take more power in the future...the more that happens, the greater liklihood that whites will move..

[WyldKard]

Okay, this is very simple.

Jews who survived the Holocoust and Japanese folks who were intered got money because they could argue that they were personally affected by these things. They LIVED through them.

In this vein, I invite black leaders to find anyone still living today who started off life as a slave. Just produce one of these folks, and I will personally buy them 30 acres of land and a mule out of my own funds. Hell, cough up someone who was a child of a slave, and I might even give them some money.

Any takers? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I hope most black people are smart enough to see that if this plan were to pass, the level of racial bigotry and resentment against them would SKYROCKET. I'm not a bigot now, but I sure aim to become one if this crap ever becomes law.

[STONEWALLS]

"I'm not a bigot now, but I sure aim to become one if this crap ever becomes law."

...that's a real good point and you don't hear it said enough.....IMHO the time is coming where fair minded whites are going to say "look, we've been trying make up for past injustices for 40 years now..we've done all we can do, enough already!"

...and on the other side there are blacks who say "you can NEVER do enough for what we're owed...we want MORE!"

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Ping!

wresting control of five Deep South states and creating a separate black nation.

Isn't sedition a crime. When will someone get the guts to put a stop to this nonsense?

[Piquaboy]

How about giving them the country of Iraq?

[goldstategop]

Let's give them the North Pole and some pocket change and call it even.

[boris]

I propose that we pay reparations. But before accepting, each person receiving funds should be made to sign a legally-binding quit-claim, in force upon him and his descendents unto perpetuity, stating that they will never accept another dime from public funds, in cash or in kind.

Would Jesse Jackson sign such a document?

[robertpaulsen]

They'll just tack it onto your phone bill as an obscure charge like FED URP Fee........$1.06 and you'll never know.

[boris]

"Let's give them the North Pole and some pocket change and call it even."

There is no land at the North Pole. Lots in Antarctica, though. Also on Luna.

The Moon be a Harsh Mistress.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Don't be too sure. They just need to find one judge to get this rolling. Then we have to play defense.
I think its just a matter of time before the Dem's adopt reparations as a national campaign plank.
