Ho-hum.

Another gathering of anti-American third worlders, who believe they're entitled to cash payouts for being black. America has paid out trillions of dollars since the 1960`s to help black America join in the American dream.

90% of American's oppose reparations.

Reparations would harm people, who never owned slaves and reward people, who never were slaves.

One thing I noticed in the crowd was a particular sign that read "Progess is today". I really dont think bringing up a DEAD issue from the past is really progress. I go about my daily life looking at black people as nothing but people like myself. After watching this I am just reminded of our differences. I fear that many others will see things the same way. Shame on Farikhan the @sshole.

So this prick wants me to pay for reparations for something that neither me or my relatives had nothing to do with. This just pisses me off.

What is interesting is the way these socialists always operate and thrive within a Bourgeois framework

The PA system, big fan, everybody clothed and fed...the suits.

These things would not exist in a world of socialist scarcity.

The Ultimate Shakedown of America AKA Reparations

Someone once said, “That if you tell yourself a lie long enough then you will believe it is the truth at some point.” I view this weekend’s protest here in Washington DC for reparations as just another lie put forth by this so-called socialist left-wing self-hating black leaders who have always lied to the black community.

For those black Americans who are considering going down to this event and standing in the hot August sun to hear this catcall of so-called experts on reparations, let me go ahead and save you the time, money, and sweat.

First you will hear from so-called black intellects about how the United States Government though white supremacy enslaved thousands of Africans.

Second you will hear from liberal black Democrat politicians on the need for Democrats to take back the Congressional House.

Third you will hear from self-appointed hypocritical Reverends like Jesse Jackson on how conservatives and Republicans have sought to keep blacks in American down and how the last general election was stolen.

America you will hear nothing about the fact that millions of Africans where enslaved by Africans long before white men set foot in African and if there had been no supply, then there would have been no demand for African Slaves. Nor will you hear the fact that the African Slaver received rum, sugar, cotton, and gold for meeting the demands Slave Nations. No Reparations should only come from America and not from those African Regions that engaged in slave roundup and sales.

America you will not hear from these so-called liberal black Democrats that if Democrats ran on real issues and not the need to sale more “new deal socialism” AKA massive new cradle to grave entitlements and tax hikes to Americans then they would be in the majority right now.

America you will not hear hypocritical self-appointed Reverends like Jesse Jackson preach for the need of all Americans to come together in this time of hurt to heal the nation in the wake of 9-11, but you will hear the venom of hatred he has for Conservatives and Republicans in general and the fact that we are responsible for all the problems in the black community. You will also hear an mid–term election year message on how blacks where supposedly cheated in the last general election the fact not that Democrats ran a candidate who was basically too stupid to win his own home state and the failure of his boss to deliver his home state as well and thus the election, but because the election was stolen.

All one has to do is read the list of those who are calling for reparations and you will see a list of the biggest con-artist/race-hustlers in our community. They make the claim that today’s everyday problems in our community such as black on black crime, drug usage, high blood pressure, the lack of basic education and broken families can all be traced back to slavery and not to the failure of the “Great Society of the 1960.”

Yes America the ultimate shakedown known, as “Reparations or Reparation-H as I call it” will solve all the enflamed problems and social ills of our community.

Gangbangers are going to put down their guns because reparation checks are in the mail. The single mother of three who is out smoking up her public assistant check in crack rock is going to go cold turkey because the reparation checks is in the mail. Uncle Leon will stop eating fatty greasy foods because the reparation checks are in the mail. Little Devon’s falling down public school in SE Washington DC will magical fix itself because the reparation checks are in the mail and Little Devon’s father will magical reappear after 6 years to support Little Devon and his mother because the reparation checks are in the mail.

My friends according to these sale-outs “Reparation H” will work wonders and if you believe, then is possible for me to interest you in some oceanfront property in North Dakota as well?

You see America this rally has nothing to do with “the scam of reparations”, but is really about power, Oh not power in America, but the continued power of fading burned out 1960’s Black Radicals who day has long pasted.

All one has to do is remember the venomous and bigoted ranting of the self-hating NAACP Chairman Julian Bond over emerging crop of young black leaders on both side of the political fence. Who are more conservative that socialist, who see big government entitlements as part of the problem and not the solution.

In their need to hold power in the new century they have gone back nearly 2 centuries to “slavery” since nearly all black Americans can trace an ancestor back to slavery. They seek to convince nearly 30 million blacks in this country that the federal government owes us an unpaid debt and that if we entrust in them blindly that we will get it what is owed.

First the federal government does not owe blacks in America “a damn thing” because it has nothing to give us. I mean anyone who took a ninth grade civics class will understand that the government is in the business of revenue collecting which means in order to function the government takes in taxes (personal, business, sale etc.) So any money that will be gained from Reparations will come from all taxpayers in America that includes blacks as well.

Secondly before this reparation scam got major traction in the media these so-called quote unquote black leaders told us that these 1960 era programs like Affirmative Action needed since they where put in place to redress the pasted discrimination and racism towards blacks in America. So with the emerging massive black middle class and multimillionaires out there it seem the debt has been paid in full. Last year the overall wealth of the black community was estimated at nearly 450 billion dollars, but we need reparations according to them.

Third and lastly if slavery is indeed a crime against humanity and they feel so strongly about it. Why aren’t these same hypocrites not gathering at the Embassy of Sudan and demanding they end their enslavement of black Christians in the South of the Nation or demanding an end to child enslavement in cocoa fields and child Armies in Western Africa?

The reparation scam should reject because it is not about money land or gold since they can’t even agree on what reparations should be. It is about 1960’s black radicals who still want to hold center court in our community a community that has time and time again been made fools of by these sale-outs.

If it is anyone who owes the black community reparations it is the so-called quote unquote black leaders who off the sweat and blood of my people, have send their children to private school, ride around in limos, wear $500 suits with Rolex Watches, make millions of dollars yearly heading so-called civil rights organizations, which engage in the shaking downs of corporate America in the name of black people and are ending their lives with massive golden parachutes for them and their families that make CEO Retirement Plans look like peanuts.

Pay up liberal black leaders the bill is due...Pay up for the name-calling, physical assaults on conservative blacks, the sailing out of our community to the liberal white establishment, the failure of the public school system to completely educate young black minds, the lack of economic development in urban black America due to the stranglehold of the new deal socialism which you support. Simply put “Damn I want my reparations which you owe me.”

Americans are smart enough to see that this whole call for reparations is nothing more than a vain attempt at “Socialism.” Just go back to that meeting in Durban South Africa as a example all those pushing for reparations when not busy trashing Israel where all third world leaders, burned out 1960’s radicals, and liberal black Democrats, who simply want America to transfer all it wealth to them no questions asked.

America you have watched these sale-outs shakedown corporate America and turn it into a cash money cow and now they are targeting all Americans for the ultimate shakedown which they call reparations.

I am calling upon all Americans to stand up against this “socialist terrorism” from the burned out 1960’s black radicals who are look to hold on to political power in the black community. Their time has pasted and it is time to move on as Americans.

What a remarkable Nation we live in and can proudly be citizens of ... where we can have the liberty and freedom to say what we want. Even when it is outrageous and bordering on ridiculous.

These morons are asking the wrong people for reparations. They may want to ask the black African tribal leaders who sold them into slavery in the first place, or held them as slaves themselves, or who still practice slavery today for reparations. This is all just black nationalist Kwanzaa-fied moronic ranting by a bunch of racist idiots.

If they really want reparations, they should go after their black brethren in Africa who sold them into slavery in the first place.

Additionally, you'd have to eliminate all of those whose ancestors who weren't even here in the days of the slaves, non-slaves included. So in effect it would just be the descendents of those who actually either owned slaves or who took part in the slave trade. And it would only be those descended from slaves that should receive reparations.

Finally, we first have to repay the Native Americans who were here in America first, as we took their land from them. ONLY THEN can we think about repaying the descendents of former slaves...

As I just stated I just flipped this on. Another impression (in addition to the fact that there are NO American flags in the audience) is that the audience doesn't seem very large. Has the camera panned back yet to encompass the whole audience? How big does the audience seem to be?
