Hey, I’m all FOR reparations.
Any American of African descent with a “reparations” chip on his shoulder should be offered $100,000 and a one-way ticket to the African paridise of his choosing, surrendering his US Passport along with his boarding pass at the gate.
Smart Americans of African descent will decry the fact that their ancestors were slaves, but will thank GOD that they were BORN FREE in the USA.
I read somewhere that Muhammad Ali once told an interviewer something to the effect of “I’m GLAD my great-grandfather got on that boat.”
Ward Connerly attended an NAACP annual meeting several years ago and wrote an editorial for the WSJ. In it, he mentioned that it appeared to be mainly full of aging government workers, aka: quota queens.
Seeing as the charges of racist acts by the tea party are entirely fabricated, that the tea party has a not-inconsiderable black component and that demoralization and disappointment with the Great “O” are palpable in the black community I don’t anticipate anyone will show up for an anti-tea party rally by the time October 1st rolls around.
Not without “walking-around” money being spread liberally, at any rate.

No kidding! If I were African/American I would get down on my knees and kiss the American ground I walk on and thank God that “way back when” an ancestor was a slave. However I am against reparations in any way, shape or form unless all Americans who had ancestors perish during the Civil War are paid too.
