You're a Sioux? Never mind the money, man, tell them you want the entire country back!!
Well come to think of it I have some "black blood" in me. I want my share of reparations. In fact, probably most every American has some black blood. We all should get reparations.
On another note, I can tell you how to guarantee your child gets into the college of his/her choice. Assuming they are at least an average student, when they take the SAT or ACT, list their race as "other." I had my son do this on one of the SAT test administrations. He was innundated with offers from top tier colleges across the country...NYU, Johns Hopkins, Univ. of Southern California, Georgia Tech,etc. They all wanted to meet this deserving "minority student." I'm telling you this is the way to end any preferential treatment for miniorities. We ALL become a minority!!!
A school administrator once told me that they could not question whatever race the student chose to categorize themself. This is THE solution!!! Spread the word.
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. "
I'll make my own reparations. I've taken all the money out of my wallet and distributed it among my various pockets.
My soul is now at rest.
Where's my $$$$$!?!?
Hehehe.......
Chickasaw here - I'll take $100 billion, please Mr Revenooer. Or Oklahoma, just till the oil boom is over, whichever is more.
This is so offensive. When we are born, it is basically a clean slate for us. Yes, some people are born to smart, rich, handsome parents, and yes, it can be an incredible hardship to be born with handicaps, but it is the beauty of America that we all have the opportunity to make something of ourselves. It is the epitome of injustice to force someone to pay for wrong doing by their ancestors. There is no reason for this debate. The consensus is: slavery is bad. That's why it was outlawed 140 years ago. If we really want to have this debate, let's subtract the cost of black-committed crime from the reparations price tag. My grandpa was robbed at gunpoint by a black perp in 1973. I've got a much more legitimate claim for some kind of reparations than someone who is simply born black.
