Hey Keith, 147 years later tell your people to get their pants off the ground, take advantage of the free public education, speak the common language,get a job and try get married before having 4 kids. Maybe the white population would like to finally be free from you.

As far as reparations go what do you think the welfare state since LBJ’s Great Society has been?

True, but you somehow got a magical 'benefit' on the back of a slave, somewhere, somehow...at least that's the line.

Wonder which Party he stands for? The Republican Party was founded to abolish SLAVERY and Polygamy. Today the descendents of the slaves freed by the REPUBLICANS all vote Democratic. And the MORMONS all vote REPUBLICAN.

***Reparations were paid in full years ago.***

In BLOOD. 1861-1865. Half a million casualties. White boys slaughtering each other over the issue of slavery.

"So says a slave of the demon god allah. "

Why would any black man choose to become a Muslim, when Muslims owned more slaves than anyone ever did in this country.

“He seems to be paying tribute to Thrasymachus as well. Under the Sophistic guile of this statement lies the irrefutable fact that not one of the ‘we’ to whom he refers has ever been a slave.”

Exactly. Like I said in a previous post, I lost a lot of family in the Holocaust, but that certainly doesn’t grant me the right to call myself a Holocaust survivor.

Walter E Williams....he just rocks. When he fills in for Rush, it’s awesome. Why he doesn’t have his own show (or Mark Steyn, for that matter.) is beyond me.

Hmmmm....

Under that line of thinking, the Egyptians owe me some serious scratch. My peeps built their pyramids which turned into quite the tourist attraction between revolutions. While we’re at it, I need to get a hold of the Babyloninans, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, etc. /s

I’m gonna cash in, dagnabit!

“Reparations were paid in full years ago.”

And with no end in sight. If I buy something on installment payments, I create a debt. But that debt has LIMITS.

With all the ‘free’ benefits africans, living in America, receive, there is no end. I refuse to sign up for such idiocy. Besides, my ancestors, to my knowledge, were among the poor whites in Georgia, pre-Civil War (AKA, War of Northern Aggression).

Many southern whites couldn’t afford a single slave.

As for the “400 years” line of crap, there was about 80 years between undependence from Britain and the Civil War.

If they repeat the lie often enough, it will become the truth...
