I agree! This should be an election issue!

Isn't this what we wanted, Mike? Let Kerry state his position on this one.

Oh, goody!


Show 'em my motto!

How about some dough for my ancestor's "Irish Need Not Apply" job discrimination?

YES! Talk about your wedge issues of all Wedge issues! No matter how Kerry trys to flip flop, he still will alienate a key consitutency. YES, let us ask Sen Kerry what his position on Reperations is!

Don't miss the overall gist of this. Kerry should be forced to state his position on this issue. That is the point, and nothing else. Let him deal with it. Reparations are a joke, okay?

This does not hurt the Right in the least.

They should sue the Arab Muslim slave traders who sold their ancestors into slavery (and are continuing their vile trade today).

And just think of the discrimination against my german ancestors during WWI and WWII. I should get double compensation.

Black folk should demand reparations for being socially quagmired by liberal welfare, education, and affirmitive action programs.

Funny you should mention that. I used to get the "hard look" for pointing out to dashiki-wearing fools who were spouting Swahili terms that Swahili was a slave-trading, esperanto type language.

Maybe, but right now we should focus on Kerry's position on this issue. In fact, all conservatives and Rightists should support getting Kerry to answer the question of where he stands on reparations. Talk about your knight fork!

This is a winning issue for the GOP. Most Americans are opposed to this. The GOP is openly opposed to this. The Dems, OTOH, flip-flop on this issue depending on their audience. Make them take a stand.

My ancestors were in Poland and Russia up until the early 1900s, so what I'm about to say doesn't apply to me:

African-Americans should be paying GRATUITIES to the ancestors of those who liberated them from the sickest, deadliest, most horrible, most brutal continent on earth.

How many African-Americans are driving around with bumper stickers saying: "I'd rather be in Rawanda"?

As a side issue, I read in a newspaper article (I wish I had kept it) that the NINA signs are Urban Legend, they never existed. This author went on to say that the NINA signs are a red herring that the whites toss out to counter the black claims.

Like I said, wish I kept the article or could remember where I read it.

My grandfather (an immigrant) worked in a Pennsylvania coal mine at the age of six.

Where's my dough?
