Excellent article.

I've been against any more "welfare" reforms based on RACE since this whole notion raised its ugly head.

The Africans who were brought here.. whose ultimate freedoms were fought for by MANY WHITE people, are very lucky to be living in this country. If they don't believe it.. then maybe we should offer them ONE KIND OF REPERATION.. "A FREE ONE WAY TICKET BACK TO AFRICA".

Otherwise..shut up!! Then try to eek out a living like all the rest of the decent hard working people in this country!!

HECK!! If I hadn't lost Ancestors who fought for Abolition of Slavery.. I might be richer too!!! GEE!! Maybe all of us need REPERATIONS TOO!!!

Hey.. (ka ching.. ka ching.. visions of George Washington with a green background) come to think of it, I'm also CHEROKEE and IRISH!!!! (Hmmm.. a house on a Lake, a Big RV..) let me rethink my position a while!!!

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.”
