That is the Palestinian State. Give 'em Zimbabwe.
"The Republic of New Afrika declared Black People's independence because it "believes that Black People in Amerikkka make up a nation of people, a people separate and apart from the Amerikkkan people.The RNA also believes that as a nation of people, We are entitled to all of the rights of a nation, including the right to land and self-determination. The RNA further believes that all the land in Amerikkka, upon which Black People have lived for a long time, worked and made rich as slaves, and fought to survive on is land that belongs to Us as a People, and it is land We must gain control of because, as Malcolm X said, land is the basis of independence, freedom, justice and equality. We cannot talk about self-determination without discussing it within the context of land.
Therefore, the RNA [identified the five states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina as Black People's land and] believes that gaining control of Our land is the fundamental struggle facing Black People. Without land, Black Power, rights and freedom have no substance."

Bottom line: the founder is a delusional carpetbagger from Detroit trying to exploit the South.
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.
I have begun a Ping list to keep track of the Radical Left. If you are interested in joining or have found a relevant story drop me a line.

eek...that some strong words :)
Y'all come take it if you think you're froggy enough. And once you start, I'm sure the Indians won't mind either, since it was THEIR land first. I wonder if they'll let black descendants of black slaveowners live there as well?
I think the media feels if they just keep repeating this often enough it'll become true.
Its the lack of a proper response that encourages this. I once thought this would go away. The idea of bilking the supposed slave owners out of valuables seems as attractive as Communism is. Neither of them will die a quick death.
I propose a new sit-com with the premise of arguing this out[Reparations for blacks], a Black, an Oriental, a Latino and a White, the sex does'nt matter to me. Not only would the comedy be delicious, the abject sillyness of these ideas would be implied not shouted. O.K. you can see the sillness already, as I can. Most are not so intuitive. While we're at it, a sit-com arguing Communism would'nt be a bad idea either. After all both the premises are ludicrous in the extreme, its just that the rank and file can't put it in the proper words to explain them. Let's help. Some would watch because it pisses them off to hear the truth, some because they did'nt want to miss anything.
The actors would be the new Archie Bunkers. Norman Lear would not be a good boss-man but Alan Keyes would be, as an afterthought. Obviously, a conservative mindset would be required, to achieve a beneficial result.
So far as I can tell, Keyes, Sowell and Williams oppose this idiotic call for reparations.
Those who are NOT descended from AMERICAN slaves need to sit down and shut up. Under even the most tortured, leftist, idiotic (redundant!) logic (oxymoron!), these people have no standing. And those who ARE descendants of slaves now calling for reparations need to remember a few things:
They should not only be glad to be in America, they should be glad to be ON THE PLANET! Had their forebears NOT been sold to the slave traders, the blood of their ancestors would have run into the earth over there several centuries ago. Their ancestors would have been killed outright or worked to death by the OTHER black who captured them in one of the interminable tribal wars still raging on that sad continent. These modern day would-be "plaintiffs" would not even exist.
And should the great-great-great grandchildren of the approximately 3,000 SLAVE OWNING BLACK plantation owners in this country also be subject to PAYING reparations?
If so, how do we find THEM?
Robert Hitt Neill tells of attending a Tennessee Mountain Writer’s Conference years ago with several other authors. Among them was Alex Hailey, celebrated author of “Roots.” Watching a TV news show, a group of them watched a demonstration in a Southern state against the “Rebel” flag incorporated into that state’s flag. The very next report covered a famine in Africa. Graphic images showed dead bodies, starving children with distended tummies and runny noses and dying people covered with flies, too weak to brush them away.
Mr. Hailey intoned in a low, serious voice:
“Every time an American black sees a story like that, they should find a Confederate flag and kiss it.” He then pointed to the TV screen and continued, “Because these would be me and my descendants, except for American slavery. I thank God that my family and I are here instead of there.”
What about the millions STILL living in slavery, held there by members of THEIR OWN RACE in Africa and elsewhere today?
Do you suppose THEY are NOT targets of these reparations whores because they have little or nothing of value for which they can be EXTORTED?
And how about the MILLIONS of WHITES and ASIANS who have slavery in their backgrounds?
Next problem!
they could call it "the socialist peoples republic of damnyankeeland", as that SEEMS to be what the voters want up there.
