Great news! I think a long lost relative on my mother's side was a redeemer.

Oh fer cryin' out loud...

As soon as these folks can produce a living victim of slavery and his living slave owner, then they can talk about reparations. Until then, get over it and get on with your life. Money cannot undo history.

BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!That's not a stand, that's vanilla. What happens when JJ and the Shakedowns say "Show me the money, honey!"

Trust me, folks, we want Reparations in the Democratic platform. Yes we do!

Be Seeing You,

Let's see $87B alloacted for Katrina, $1.4B (So far) to fraud - good work Feds ! Add about $6 Trillion since the 1960's - and that adds up to quite a tax bill for repayment - I think what it has yielded in forty plus years - ZIP, NADA, ZERO, only three generations of poverity and corruptions - thank you liberal Democrats.

If my next door neighbor who came here as a young man in 1975 from South East Asia - speaking no English, with different color skin, no money, no job can make himself a success and send his kids to UCLA and other fine schools without government support so can anyone. This "repayment for slavery" is just another excuse and scam Mr Havard Law Professor !

I demand reparations from China and Japan for oppressing and enslaving Koreans. Seriously dude, this is just opening a can of worms.

The ONLY form of reparations I could support - is to send everyone demanding reparations back to Africa...with every living member of their "families" - legal and illegal, legitimate and bastards.

Otherwise - I wish they would STFU and get on with making a life for themselves instead of this constant bitching and blaming all the consequences of their bad decisions and dumb ass behavior on the "white man"...
