Oh...and I want some money for my wife, she has indian and black blood, so cut me in. The truth is..a lot of us are related to ex slaves and don't know or don't want to know about it.
Interesting concept, except I think they have been "using the system" since the Civil War. Just when you think there is nothing else...the Jesse's and the Al's think of something else.
Right on about the interrelateness of Americans. On my Mom's side it is western European origins, but on my Dad's...whoa boy. We got a bit of dis and a bit of dat...including a great grandfather who is American Indian. Who knows where it could all lead?
You really think that'll work? You think they won't keep voting RAT to get their "entitlements" increased? You think they won't riot again anywhere the next time some Rodney King-style event happens? Do you think Jesse Jackson will retire from the shakedown business?
At BEST, it would end the singular reparation article only, and would do so at the cost of who knows how many years of racial warfare in this country. Plus you know many many blacks will starting claiming, "Well, this is a good start, but..." And we'd still be left with every one of the other thousands of bogus accusations they've made against Whitey for over 40 years. All it would do is wreck the federal budget, wreck the economy, and wreck the social fabric of this country.
