like they even care?

[avacado]

Is anyone apologizing for the mostly Irish slaves shipped to America as indentured servants!?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Reparations: Carbon credits for racial guilt. People who never owned slaves paying money to people who never were slaves.

Jesse illustrates Kipling’s observation, once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane. There is no amount of money that will make Jesse Jackson and his ilk go away.

[Dudoight]

Don’t you just love it? Jesse Jackson is true to his psychopathology. That particular London Mayor has been an idiot time after time.

[John Jorsett]

Jackson got Red Ken to blubber an apology, so what better time to further guilt-trip the Brits into throwing some money his way? Elites being the spineless weasels that they are, there’s a good chance he might get something out of them.

After bullying London's mayor into apologizing for his city's role in the transatlantic slave trade more than two centuries ago

Oprah made the whites in her audience stand up and apologize for slavery when she did a segment on Thomas Jefferson and Sally Heming's decendants. Somehow she's still luuuuved by the nation, ugh.

[CRBDeuce]

Is anyone apologizing to Webster who continuously spins in his grave while Clinton cons with “it depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is” and Jesse cons with “it depends on what the definition of ‘extortion’ is”...while their lawyers rack up huge fees!

Outta my way! I wanna be first in line for that hand out, whaaaa!!!

[xcamel]

one would be hard pressed to find a country with less modern racisim (black/white anyway)

Which college is it that's giving free tutition to anyone who can prove their ancestors were African slaves?

[TRY ONE]

And...Jesse asked for double reparations from those F-—— Jew B@stards!

[quadrant]

Anyone reading Horowitiz’s article can detect (if he or she wishes) the logic and validity of his arguments, but those who want reparations are not going to be persuaded to abandon their claims no matter how logical or valid the arguments against such a foolish idea.
Attempts to reason will result in endless debate that will satisfy neither side.
This is an emotional matter that can only be disposed of by a firm and repeated “no”.

[junta]

Its a charade to strip mine the resources of the sheep and concentrate them in fewer hands. Since there is no serious challenge to this game from anyone then it will continue.

[avacado]

"Which college is it that's giving free tutition to anyone who can prove their ancestors were African slaves?"

How about we just offer them jobs? That ought to put an end to this nonsense.

[elhombrelibre]

The race grievance industry has been very, very good for Jesse. He’s made a fortune through using it.

[Altura Ct.]

Exactly!

[Dilbert San Diego]

yep, the way these people like Jackson act, it’s as if slavery was just done away with last year. This whole slavery reparations movement is a scam in my opinion. A small minority of people ever owned slaves, and everyone who ever owned a slave or was held as a slave is dead. So reparations can’t be paid to anyone who was a slave.

And to talk about the legacy of slavery as a root cause of the problems of poor black people today is laughable.

Will anyone ever call Jackson on this nonsense? Or will everyone he deals with be afraid of him and bow at the altar of Political Correctness in dealing with him?

"Oprah made the whites in her audience stand up and apologize for slavery when she did a segment on Thomas Jefferson and Sally Heming's decendants. "

Did she then make the blacks stand up and apologize for the high crime rates for blacks and for 75% of all black males being in prison for committing crimes and for narcotic welfare, and for 30 years of rap music?
