My family came here from Germany in 1888.

I want a waiver.

I also want a waiver. My family came to America in the 1880s on both sides of my family. We had nothing to do with slavery.

The liberal view of us, is that we benefited from “white privilege”, and that’s why our families became middle class. So we are on the hook for any reparations.

My people came from Ireland in the 1850s to 1890s and lived in the NINA northern cities. They built NYC - bricklayers.

I have never expected any reparations and I’ve never taken away anyone’s right or ability to work, get an education or advance themselves.

But I’ve been treated as such, especially when working alongside SEIU.

I don’t expect them to give me reparations for the hatred and distraction they imposed. I just hope they stop listening to the race marketers and get to work.

If they’re talking about me giving them reparations for some wacky slave traders, slave owners somewhere hundreds of years ago, because I am white, then we’re going to have to have a national conversation about race relations in this country since BO took office.

WE were coming along just fine.

this might be a last attempt. The Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons are fading away.
