Do you think black people know history well enough to know the Jews were also slaves?

Barron announced as 2,000 to 3,000 reparations supporters looked on.

Every other report says there were less than 500. Where'd the other 2,500 suddenly appear from?

[monkey]

I was there. 2-3 thousand is probably correct. Maybe a few more.

New York City Councilman Charles Barron said Sunday that he was using "black hyperbole" when he told a Washington, D.C. crowd gathered yesterday to demonstrate for slavery reparations that he wanted to slap white people who didn't sympathize with the cause

I hope he'll take it as "hyperbole" when I deck him if he tries.

Oh, so when my granddaddy used to say, "Send them all back to Africa!", it wasn't racist, it was white hyperbole! Now I get it. I'm this guy enlightened everybody about the subtle difference.

[ASDFGHJK]

LOL. Racial hyperbole. Maybe it can a new classification of hate crime.

[apochromat]

I think it's hyperbole because it would depend on how large or dangerous-looking his slapping object would be. Maybe I should read the article again.

Shooting off his mouth again.....

Now that's not nice. Cleavon Little was utterly hilarious.

[I still care]

That right, slaves for 400 years to the Egyptians. And a law was passed that all Jewish babies had to be killed.

The comment I remember from Barron yesterday was that the blacks were going to go take their reparation money from Washington without anyone's permission and were going to leave "scorched earth" in the process. Well, I guess that's just more hyperbole. I'm sure they don't mean it.

[gortklattu]

No disrespect was intended for the late Cleavon. My attempt at satire was directed at others.

"oratorial improvisation?"....I never miss Malzbergs show, he usually has at least one ultra leftist nut on. Barron has been a guest at least 5 times.

[dennisw]

Charles Barron is a dirtbag and former Black Panther. He's an NYC councilman feeding at the public trough already....Thus already getting his "reparations". but he wants mo', much mo'.

He is evil, demagogic scum that you will be hearing more about since he is a good speaker.

Remember Maxine Waters "hyperbol" during the riots, L.A. after the Rodney King verdict? On live T.V., she screamed into the cameras telling "her" people, "don't riot and burn your own neighborhoods! Go into the White neighborhoods." I was shocked that she wasn't arrested for being a U.S. Congressman and inciting arson and rioting!
But you know what? The rioters NEVER left their own neighborhood, they have an aversion to "armed citizens".

White hyperbole ranges from such horrendously racist diatribes as "yep" and "you betcha," all the way to things like your granddaddy's musings and beyond. We are all racists, we are all guilty, and if these 24/7 haters get their wish, we are all going to be dead.

Wipe the American makeup off a large percentage of the noisy African-American 'rat "leadership," and you will see Robert Mugabe looking back at you with hate in his eyes.
