Like the editors, I would love to know who in that group still owns slaves.

The day this government gives in to reparations will be the day that a second Civil War starts. Slavery and the War of Northern Aggression ended over 100 years before I was born, and I'll be damned if I give 1 penny to these leeches.

SHHHHH, you'll burst his bubble.
Don't forget modern day Sudan (modern being used loosely here).

Or the tribes that fought his ancestors and sold them to the slavers.
If he's looking for currently slaveholders, perhaps he should try suing the government of the Sudan.
If he's just a fool out looking to cause trouble with people who have money, and no ties to slavery less than 130 years old, then he's on the right course.

Maybe he should start with the ones who actually had slaves and work his way down from there. Why should people who never owned slaves pay people who were never slaves?
To: will1776
Since the Panthers and other radical groups advocate violence in order to achieve their goals, you would think they would rather sue the families of slaves that didn't rise up against their "masters".

The Chicago Tribune correctly points out that slavery was legal. In addition, it was sanctioned, prescribed and encouraged by the Koran, the Caliphate and the Ottoman Sultans.
Instead of descendants of slaves suing for slavery, I would advise the present day Africans to sue the Arabs and Europeans for depriving their ancestors of a chance of participating in the slave life, and escaping Africa.

Brown challenged Pope John Paul II directly: "The Pope must come and say the truth ... He must come and tell us why ... certain Catholic forces disobeyed Catholic laws.. I'm guessing it's for the same reason that certain racist criminals (oh, let's say the Black Panthers, just for argument's sake) disobeyed the laws of California and the US and engaged in robbery, rape, murder, drug dealling, fomenting revolution, etc. Brown must explain himself and immediately make available all of his old notes, letters, and diaries! /sarcasm
Seriously, what a nimrod...

Brown should add me to his list of defendants as well.
My then-unborn spirit, although close to the Lord Above before and after the historical course of slavery, made no effort to abolish it.
I'm not able to recall, but I may well have been too busy trying to intervene from On High with regard to the enslavement of my own ancestors by the Romans and later by the Turks.
But, Bobby, should you change your mind and add me to your list of miscreants, I've got a response to your motion for discovery "right here," as they say.......

Heh, perhaps a cynical countersuit would be in the works...that is suing West Africa for selling the "slavery angle" to the Yankee traders of mercantile America in the 17th century. Since then the U.S. has been sorely injured from the effects of Africans selling their people as slaves.
To: will1776
Slavery was an ugly event in American history. It was wrong, its been abolished and its time to move on. But the idea of reparations is just as wrong.
Reparations would harm people who never owned slaves and reward people who never were slaves.

Somebody needs to commit this mad man to a mental facility. He sounds dangerous to me.
