Pfleger Surpassing Jeremiah Wright (reparations to come from white 401-K's

National Review Online ^ | 5/29/08

[prolifefirst]

UPDATE: Much like written words don't do justice to Jeremiah Wright's sermons, the video must be watched to be believed.

Pfleger is introduced as "a friend of Trinity", and then the YouTube skips ahead to one section:

I must now to address the one who says, 'don't hold me responsible for what my ancestors did.' But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did! And unless you are ready to give up the benefits — Throw away your 401 fund! [sic] Throw away your trust fund! Throw away all the money that been put away in the company you walked into 'cause your daddy and your granddaddy and your great grandaddy —

(screaming at the top of his lungs)

Unless you are willing to give up the benefits, then you must be responsible for what was done in your generation! 'Cause you are the beneficiary of this insurance policy!

Words cannot describe the surreality of watching a middle-aged white man in a priest's collar appearing like he is trying to imitate Jeremiah Wright at his most outrageous.

[garbled] expose white entitlement. And supremacy, wherever it raises its head. I said before, I really don't want ot make this political, because you know I'm really very unpolitical.

When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don't believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, 'this is mine. I'm Bill's wife. I'm white, and this is mine. I just gotta get up and step into the plate.'

Then out of nowhere, 'I'm Barack Obama!'

Imitating Hillary's response, screaming at the top of his lungs again, he continues, 'Ah, damn! Where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!'

(mocks crying)

She wasn't the only one crying, there was a whole lot of white people crying!

I'm sorry. I don't want in any more trouble. The live-streaming just went out again."

The argument that 401(k) accounts are inherent representations of white supremacy will be news to many, many Americans.

So what is the response from Team Obama going to be? That he didn't know Pfleger was capable of this kind of rhetoric, either?

My solution is, if people don’t like this country, they should go find another one they like. Stop using your sense of grievance to steal.

[BallyBill]

Whenever I hear a white person talk like this, I always wonder just what they have in their closet that makes them so guilty.

I've worked part time most of my life...in order to be at home as much as possible for the kids....I am a nurse, and the pittance that I have been able to put away, with very little contribution from my employee, and without any defined benefits coming after retirement, I know that if I ran into the good reverand he would be sorry, very sorry....

I work nights...days...weekends...holidays..saturday and sunday....virtually any day of the year dealing with drool, piss, poop, vomit, blood from all kinds of sources, the poor, the insane, the dying, .....and yet the good father thinks I don't deserve anything I might have put away for my old age...?

[DuncanWaring]

Throw away all the money that been put away in the company you walked into 'cause your daddy ...

My daddy spent his childhood in a house that didn't have indoor plumbing.

Marxists don’t believe you should be allowed to keep what’s yours. They want to keep you in the dirt while they live like royalty.

[vpintheak]

3rd generation sharecropper grandson. I didn’t do jack to anyone, I grew up poor, I made something out of myself with God’shelp. I don’t owe anyone anything. I would love to have some time with pflegger and show him a pfist or two.

[chimera]

They want to keep you in the dirt while they live like royalty.

I'd say so. How much was that house worth that Jeremy Wright moved into in that gated, mostly white community? More money than me or any of my ancestors ever had, I'm sure. Wonder why the good Father isn't railing about that excess?

[popdonnelly]

I’ve had enough. Time to kick the liberals and leftists off the free ride they’ve been enjoying at the taxpayers’ expense.

[Fresh Wind]

I suppose they want IRAs too.

When the 50% reparation tax happens, will the IRS treat that as a early withdrawal, with the usual tax consequences for the account holder?

I’d bet my bottom dollar that any reparation payments will be tax free, however.

[popdonnelly]

If Father Pfleger wants to give up his money, he’s perfectly free to do so. If he tries to force me to give up mine, there will be trouble.

Right cmh:

That's why I refused to brake up our small farm that my younger brother wants to do. As is, we have a fall-back plan that will allow us to grow enough food to survie. Plus I know where both the good and bad live:-()

[mollynme]

So just what are "White 401-k's"? What percent of what nationalities do you have to have to qualify to pay or to receive? Are we all going to have to get DNA tests? Are all those poor Blacks who can't afford to get the free proof of citizenship, etc in order to vote now going to have to come up with the same in order to qualify for reparations?

Enquiring minds...

[rbg81]

Oh, so THAT’s why we’re supposed to invest in our 401K’s!

[I see my hands]

Way to be!

[3Lean]

Just to end the whining I would support this, but only if the tax doesn’t occur until after the ratification of a constitutional amendment specifically banning any race-based privileges and all the other benefits the race-hustlers have implemented or pursued over the years. Then I think it might be worth it...

[hildy123]

My family is from Prussia. Does that mean I own everyone in Europe Reparations? I personally think we’ve paid enough.

[ShandaLear]

I work for Microsoft. It was founded in 1975.

[hildy123]

I will admit my ancestor’s did travel extensively through Europe on a frequent basis. Not always welcomed in the countries we entered. Can you imagine that?

[Kozak]

Irregardless, I owe them nada nothing bupkis.

A. My family arrived in the US in 1950 as DP’s from WW2.
We asked for and got ZERO government assistance were just happy to be in the Land of the Free.

B. MY family was emancipated in 1863 as well. By the Czar.
So they can kiss my unrepentant large hairy white a.........

C. If all white people are responsible for the sins of the past, why aren’t blacks responsible for the sins of other blacks in the present, ie welfare dependency, murder, drug abuse etc etc etc.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Reparations have been paid via welfare...and look where that got us.
