White opposition to reparations is predictable, unjustified

Does that mean that Black opposition to slavery is predictable but unjustified?

After all that has happened both on the black and white sides .....Blacks are still slaves in their own minds. and ....Whites[ ALL RACES THROUGH REPERATIONS ] will never be slave owners and yet will still get the bill and blame

Someone told me once there is no such thing as reverse racism i think they were either drunk or stupid maybe both !

If the Democratic nominee in 2004 even begins to suggest that he will support reparations, he will be guaranteed to lose in a landslide that will make Johnson-Goldwater look Bush-Gore.

At the same time, the Democratic nominee will have a difficult time categorically rejecting the idea, either, as it would cost him heavily with blacks. The Democratic candidate will undoubtedly wish that the topic not be approached.

Bush must not allow that wish to become true. He must push the nominee for an answer. He must be brutal. He must demand an answer on national TV during a debate.

It will be 20 more years before the Cultural Marxists in education and the media will have successfully prepared America for reparations- the time to exploit this issue is now.

(1) learn more about reparations and the conditions by which their necessity came about;

Kwame has not proved the necessity of anything. Most blacks thrive and prosper today, as do most whites, orientals, hispanics, etc. What necessity?

(2) look closely at today's conditions that cause continuation of these deplorable circumstances;

The 'delorable circumstance' that Kwame is not getting any guilt money yet? Slavery? (Ended 1865) Jim Crow? (Faded out sometime in the late 60's) For the ambitious, black skin is a positive advantage today in America!

(3) develop a plan that would set up endowments, scholarships and other incentives for increased positive black involvement in American life;

We already have all of these today!

(4) enact laws that are effective and enforceable that would eliminate all acts of discrimination.

No law can possibly eliminate 'all forms' of discrimination, but the laws we have comprise the best legal protection against racial discrimination that has ever existed anywhere, anytime. And the proof of that is the lack of black immigration to Africa or other parts of the world, and the continuing flow of immigrants from all parts of the third world to our shores.

These are just a few ideas for a beginning toward full reparations.

He says 'full reparations', but stated earlier that no amount of money could possibly make up for all the brutality, etc. So what he means is 'unending payments', because the next generation and the next after that will demand their 'fair share' too. There is simply no legal or historical precedent for this sort of guilt claim by one racial group on another. Besides, any money for reparations would be paid by ALL Americans -- white, black, hispanic, recent immigrants, etc. Their case will fall apart in court, if it ever gets that far.

Blacks who think they would be better off if their ancestors had not been brought
here should take a tour of West/Central Africa.


I guarantee they've never read Keith Richburg's "Out of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa".
Or if they did, they put on their blinders and refuse to accept facts.

A couple of years ago I heard an interveiw with a reporter(black) who had been assigned to Zaire. Well this guy was all excieted to be going back to "mother africa", he was going to get in touch with his roots. It wasn't too long before he too was saying thank god my ancestors were sent to the new world as slaves.

I agree. With over 90% of the black vote going to the democRATS in the last election, a Republican has nothing to lose by openly and vocaly opposing this nonsense.

A democRAT would be screwed either way he turns though. This could be very interesting.
