David's right. Why are we still debating ancient history? To borrow a favorite expression of the Left, "Its time to move on!"

Can't we all just get along? Just surrender a small percentage of your hard-earned income to a bunch of swindlers. No big deal for you, but they will be happy!

Great column by Horowitz. He has had his finger on the pulse of this garbage for some time now. Thanks for posting the column.

Blacks need a goal to work for, like "being more wealthy than whites." That will take a couple of generations at least, and be very satisfying if they can achieve it.

I love Horowitz, and this is a good example why.

A great post.

Now if it could only be run on the front page of every major newspaper.........

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

A superb piece. Bumpin' large.

America did not create black slavery, but ended it. The civil war was won. America has outlawed segregation and discrimination. The civil rights cause was victorious. It’s time for everyone including Randall Robinson and Charles Ogletree to get used to it, and to move on to more productive debates.

Americans died in the hundreds of thousands to end slavery, and reparations have already been received in the form of a massive welfare system and racially preferential treatment in the form of affirmative action.

Any further considerations due to the descendents of slaves should come in the form of an offer to return them to their previous circumstances, before they were brought to America. In other words, a one-way ticket back to the "Old Country".

This should be completely voluntary of course, but in the future it should be expected that those remaining would start to appreciate how much better off they are than the blacks living in Africa today, and that American blacks who have profited from America's largesse take it upon themselves to help their own less fortunate.

Fat black bucks in a wine barrel room
Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom
Barrel house kings with feet unstable
Sagged and realed and pounded on the table

With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom
Hard as they were able
Boom - Boom - Boom
With a silk umbrella and the handle of a broom

Then I had religion - Then I had a vision
For a thousand miles
Tattooed cannibals danced in files
And "BLOOD!" screamed the lean witch doctor
"Harrie the uplands - steal all their cattle!"

Rattle - Rattle - Rattle.

Yachel Lindsey?

BTTT

Incidentally, I just finished reading Ogletree's 'The Case for Reparations' in USA Weekend. What a load of tripe! Should have come with a warning that it's fit only for wiping one's bottom.
