You obviously didn’t read the interview I posted earlier, either. If you did, you would see that his position did not change.
How did Michelle Malkin put it? Oh, yes:
Prompted by a reporter's question, Keyes gave a brief tutorial on Roman history and said that in regard to reparations for slavery, the U.S. should do what the Romans did: "When a city had been devastated [in the Roman empire], for a certain length of time--a generation or two--they exempted the damaged city from taxation."
Keyes proposed that for a generation or two, African-Americans of slave heritage should be exempted from federal taxes--federal because slavery "was an egregious failure on the part of the federal establishment." In calling for the tax relief, Keyes appeared to be reaching out to capture the black vote, something that may prove difficult to do, particularly after his unwelcome reception at the Bud Billiken Day Parade Saturday.
The former ambassador said his plan would give African-Americans "a competitive edge in the labor market," because those exempted would be cheaper to hire than federal tax-paying employees and would "compensate for all those years when your labor was being exploited..."
“You obviously didn’t read the interview I posted earlier, either. If you did, you would see that his position did not change.”
Come on, I’ve read every single post on this thing. I read yours and read CWO’s, and gave my opinion. I saw his position change from what I read. Not a big deal, every politician stumbles on that. Once exposed, I’ve always found it easier to just ceed the point and move to the next issue. From a simple debate perspective I thought CWO won the debate with you. But again, that’s just my opinion. I haven’t, nor am I going to get into promoting or pounding on the rest of the republican primary candidates. At least not on this thread.

Keyes is a crook who supports slave reparations. And you want him for president? What's next for your profile page, a shrine to Al Sharpton?
