I knew that it was only a matter of time before Obambi trotted out this issue. I personally believe that this is the primary reason why he's running for POTUS. I just can't get past his long time affiliation with Rev. Wright and the Black Liberation Theology he espoused.
I want some gummit money
We now know that decades of welfare, preferences and affirmative action in response to the last round of riots and threats has only resulted in demands for reparations.
Fool us once, shame on you - fool us twice ... well, you know.
“Sen. Barack Obama told a meeting in Chicago the U.S. should review how it can make amends for “offenses” committed during its history.”
Obama Hussein was never a slave and I never owned one so why does he think I should give him some money???
Did the racist extortionist also say how the black Africans who sold the US those slaves could make reparations?
In legitimately honest courts, reason prevails and individuals are judged innocent or guilty.
Meanwhile, individual innocence means nothing inside collectivist courts.
The concept of collective guilt defies reason; it is the essence of evil ... and wrong.
The question this begs is that if Obama becomes “the man” will he have to put his own foot on the back of his neck?
Give each NA and Bl a square block in Harlem or Hollywood. That should do.
I think we should be able to charge civilizational royalties. Every time John Conyers turns on the radio to listen to Air America, for example, he should pay whitey a fee for A) inventing the radio, B) harnessing electricity, and C) producing the plastics and metals used in the radio itself. Of course, there are minute details that would add to the bill, such as comprehending the physics and chemistry involved, etc.
A friend sent me an email he received from a soldier in Afganastan about Obama’s visit, wish I knew how to post it so it would be read by many.
:)Does he want to lose?
I wonder if Oabama thinks blacks should pay reparations for the crimes they have committed and the welfare they have received? I mean, so many blacks have been locked up at tax payers’ expense and so many have taken trillions in welfare, when will they start paying all that back??
The term affirmative action describes policies aimed at a historically socio-politically non-dominant group (typically, minority men or women of all racial groups) intended to promote its access to education or employment. Motivation for affirmative action is a desire to redress effects of actual or perceived, past or current discrimination that is regarded as unfair. It also serves to encourage public institutions such as universities, hospitals and police forces to be more representative of the population.
This is commonly achieved through targeted recruitment programs aimed at applicants from socio-politically disadvantaged groups. In some cases affirmative action involves giving preferential treatment to these groups.[2] Opponents of affirmative action policies argue that they are based on collectivism and merely another equal form of discrimination because they can result in qualified applicants being denied entry to higher education or employment because they belong to a particular social group (usually the historically socio-politically dominant group; typically majority races and men, regardless of social standing or financial need.) They also argue that preferential treatment should be based upon current social and economical standing, not that of one's ancestors. Some opponents say affirmative action devalues the accomplishments of people who are chosen because of the social group they belong to rather than their qualifications.

According to U.S. Office of Personnel Management's annual report "Federal Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program", a total of 48,033 new minority employees have been hired by the federal agencies from FY 2001 to FY 2006. During the same period there has been a net decrease of 3,960 white male employees in federal jobs.
My son just joined the Navy which makes me think of the idea of keeping their freedom. Freedom not to work in a lot of cases in my diverse neighborhood.
I think those Democrats should pay reparations out of their own pockets.
As for me, I opposed the Great Society, I've never owned a slave of any shade, I support equality under the Constitution unalterably and in fact Great-Great Grandpappy fought in the Civil War on the Union Side. I'm not paying anybody squat.
Another one of The Great’s entitlement plans.......
Keep your powder dry...
Oh forgive me, I forgot them, the Austro-Hungarians, the Turks, The British, the Muslims, ect, ect, ect,
NOBAMA!
