"But I thought we already spent a trillion dollars on the Great Society. That wasn't enough?"

It doesn't make any difference how much we pay. It will never be enough.

The only real solution to this mess is the unspeakable.

...but now, the unspeakable is not only becomming feasible, but preferable.

When people become so much a threat to the quality of your life and the potential for you to live in peace and freedom, you are compelled to defend that which you have strived so hard to build and protect. People need to resist the drive for wealth redistribution via litigation. It is one of the major roads to tyranny.

These knuckleheads don't want justice or equality. They want a piece of whitey and know that if they are successful that it will take all of us down. In their minds, it's the whet european male dominated society, but the fact is that they will go down as well. I don't think that it's all blacks, but it is tricky to get a brother to come clean on stuff like this.

This case needs to be watched carefully and countered if at all possible.

This is a classic example of ENTITLEMENT mentality. Well, she and the rest are entitled to NOTHING - SQUAT! For crying out loud! She was able to earn a LAW DEGREE! No slave 100 years ago would have ever had that opportunity. Why doesn't she put it to better use?

OK, so you want 1.4 Trillion spread out for the enrichment of your race? Fine. Let's give it to them, then yank out every social and government funded/tax-supported program out there. Jeez, they really want a free ride. What a bunch of lazy asses.

Correct, what they want is control.

And you know what the kicker is, we probably paid for her law degree through some other social engineering program.

I wonder if she attended Law school on a scholarship or grant, and if so who funded it.

Just to salt your wounds a little more....what do you want to bet she went through law school on government funded tuition loans..........that she will probably default on as an offset to her anticipated reparations award.

Regards,

For the most probable answer, go take a look in the mirror.

It is really sad that I even broached the subject, and I apologize to any one who I might have offended.

I wonder where Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton (Our 44th President wannabe) comes down on this.

It will never be enough. If we were forced to give each one of them $1,000,000 it would not be enough. It is about hatred of the white race by a huge number of africanhyphenamerican people. Slavery may be part of it, but that isn't the only explanation. The ones who live a depraved, violent, unfocused lives hate the fact that whites know they exist in that manner. Additionally, the same subset needs to maintain solidarity with all the other white haters out there-arabs, American Indians, etc.

I suppose that the African-Africans that sold people into slavery have no culpabilty in this.

. . . or they don't have $1.4 trillion.

Agreed - this does nothing but further widen the divide that exists between the races. Martin Luther King Jr. would be spinning in his grave over this. This will have a VERY chilling effect on race relations. This woman is going to set civil rights back 40 years.

"You have actually benefited from the slavery of your ancestors, you deserve nothing."

This is quite true. If not for slavery, this wench could easily have been born in Amin's Uganda..........or Rwanda...........or Ethiopia.............or Somalia............or [insert African s**thole of your choice here] and wound up a living skeleton due to starvation or on the wrong end of a machete. Instead, she was able to go to law school JUST to stick her filthy hands into our pockets.

Screw 'er.

"The other suits were filed by Andre Carrington, a city transit worker, and Mary Lacey Madison, a 91-year-old activist."

This is my personal favorite.

[flash forward a year.....] "Ms. Madison, congratulations on your court victory. Here's your reparations check of $10,000. The rest of the billions will go to the Jackson Uplift My Account Society."

Ms. Madison replies [insert shriveled old crone voice here] "Why.........thank you, sonny. Victory is sw.......swe.....................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whump!!!!"

"They'll get the money.
It's just a matter of when...
"

I'm waiting to see if any of the descendents of slave owners will countersue for the cost of slave maintenance with associated interests. Of course that suit would be considered "absurd", right?

"African-Americans filed three landmark class-action lawsuits yesterday,"

Landmark lawsuits in that they are the most stupid lawsuits ever filed.

I thought of that.

I wonder also, who

"A team of lawyers who helped Farmer Paellmann said they followed a legal road map established by a string of lawsuits in recent years that won more than $8 billion in damages for Holocaust victims and their families."

might be and their means of reaching lawyerhood.

No--they will not be satisified until the "plantation economy" is re-established with THEM as the plantation owners, and whites as slaves. No lesser solution will be enough.

I've heard this several times before. There might be an economic case made for making a payment (if $1.4T is the number then so be it - BTW, it averages out to $40,000 per black person in the U.S.) and in return, eliminating forever all racial set-aside programs in every Federal, State and Local government and having each person who gets the cash sign a statement releasing their claim on anything having to do with racism again. Offer that deal and see what happens.Two words - Not.Gonna.

Three more words - Loser.Pays. System.
