If they're too dumb to manage their money, what will happen to the land of a fool? Oh, I know, the land will go into a black homeland held in common for the good of all and managed by Calypso Louie.

That's exactly what I thought when I listened to Farrakhan's speech--and I thought it was most patronizing--you can't manage your money, so let ME do it.

Don't forget that those black elites that beating the drums for reparations downplay any direct payments to individuals saying the money should go to various foundations and organizations who will spend the money in the best interest of the black people. In fact, a few have actually said that any money going to individuals will just be blown. I do imagine that if reparations is passed some direct token payments will be made, a few hundred dollars at most.
