Purely absurd. I have some Sioux blood in me. I want $200 billion in reparations and I want it now. Give me a break.

Oh, it gets even better.

How do you handle the decedents of slave owners that were themselves black?

Do they give reparations to themselves?

DIXIE'S CENSORED SUBJECT -- BLACK SLAVEOWNERS

"Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.

To return to the census figures quoted above, this 28 percent is certainly impressive when compared to less than 1.4 percent of all American whites and less than 4.8 percent of southern whites. The statistics show that, when free, blacks disproportionately became slave masters. "
