"We are discovering that righting wrongs does not increase social concord. Women's liberation, racial equality, and the war on poverty have not made us a more united nation. On the contrary, social justice has multiplied grievances and fueled discord. Like total freedom, total justice may become a cause of social disintegration."

Excellent point. Another thing that this does is continue to marginalize the black community. When liberal black leaders ask for reparations they not only incur the wrath of descendants of the Mayflower, but immigrants of all ethnic backgrounds different from their own.

If blacks want to be Americans, it's time they started thinking and behaving as such.

Excellent quote. The radical egalitarianism you're describing is just what the French tried to implement during their Revolution. The result was a river of blood in the Place de la Concorde.

The American Revolution dodged that radicalism by recognizing the natural inequities that define us. And it is that recognition that is today being overridden by socialism.

""We are discovering that righting wrongs does not increase social concord...

And it never will...

This movement is not about "reparations"...it's about money. Just like the "riots" are not about demonstrating causes, but more about looting stores and stealing whatever is available.

The liberals are once again throwing this issue against the wall, to see if it will stick. It's an election year...a full field of demoncRATS are trying for office, and wooing the black vote.

Someone mentioned the figure of $40,000 each. Well, $40K goes pretty fast in the period of a year...and as the old saying goes:

"GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE, AND HE'LL WANT A GLASS OF MILK"

As soon as that $40K is gone, they'll be back for something else. No matter who it is, from a spoiled child to some minority who think s/he deserves everything free, THEY CANNOT BE APPEASED.

It seems our liberal press will never learn what life is about...I guess that's why they take the easiest course Colleges offer...Journalism.
