Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to All Persons of European Descent
GMU ^ | ??? | Walter E. Williams

Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon Granted to
All Persons of European Descent


Whereas, Europeans kept my forebears in bondage some three centuries toiling without pay,

Whereas, Europeans ignored the human rights pledges of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution,

Whereas, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments meant little more than empty words,

Therefore, Americans of European ancestry are guilty of great crimes against my ancestors and their progeny.

But, in the recognition Europeans themselves have been victims of various and sundry human rights violations to wit: the Norman Conquest, the Irish Potato Famine, Decline of the Hapsburg Dynasty, Napoleonic and Czarist adventurism, and gratuitous insults and speculations about the intelligence of Europeans of Polish descent,

I, Walter E. Williams, do declare full and general amnesty and pardon to all persons of European ancestry, for both their own grievances, and those of their forebears, against my people.

Therefore, from this day forward Americans of European ancestry can stand straight and proud knowing they are without guilt and thus obliged not to act like damn fools in their relationships with Americans of African ancestry.


Walter E. Williams, Gracious and Generous Grantor

This is an old piece from Walter Williams. I had never read it before today, so I searched FR for it.

The last time it was posted was in 2002.

The Black Avenger (Ken Hamblin) had a web site once where you could type in your name and print out an official-looking "absolution of white guilt" certificate... something like that.

Why? It's real. Dr. Williams keeps it on his web site. Whenever he substitutes for Rush Limbaugh on the radio, he advises his listeners to go to his website and print this up.

Here's the link to Dr. Williams'.

"Gift"

I must confess, I have not seen Ken Hamblin's.

I love Dr. Williams.

Where is the Black Avenger?

Did he hang up his Michrophone? He was a lone voice of sanity in New Orleans during the OJ trial.

Dunno... His old website doesn't seem to be up anymore (www.hamblin.com).

I suspect he's "retired." Nothing comes up on a "ken hamblin" "obit" search...

and gratuitous insults and speculations about the intelligence of Europeans of Polish descent,

I'm still waiting for my reparations for that one.

Levi Srauss made a decent living by supplying jeans made of stronger stuff that better covered the asses of the risk-takers in the west.

I have not worn "Levi's" or denim very often lately, but what you say is true.

Just curious, can Americans of Southern Descent now start demanding reparations for clothing, feeding, sheltering & caring for those people of color for the time period of 1607 - 1865?

If you have a problem with ideas in this post please express them plainly, as opposed to questioning them being stated a second time.
