WASHINGTON – American Indians and black farmers will be paid $4.6 billion to address claims of government mistreatment over many decades under landmark legislation President Barack Obama signed Wednesday.At a signing ceremony at the White House the president declared that approval of the long-delayed legislation “isn’t simply a matter of making amends, it’s about reaffirming our values on which this nation was founded: the principles of fairness and equality and opportunity.” Obama promised during his campaign to work toward resolving disputes over the government’s past discrimination against minorities.

Massive billion dollar fraud.

Now; where is the politician who has the nerve to stand up? Where is the prosecutor who wants to make his bones?

Reparations. This will keep happening and wonder where that stimulus money went to? GOP needs to cut all of his budgets so he has no money. Cut the DOJ budget, cut em all.

I want a million dollars for all of the times I did not get a cushy county/city job because I was not black or hispanic.
Admin jobs are now saying bilingual a plus. If you are white you are screwed.

The blacks have a term for Obama's abuse of our checkbook, by flying airforce 1 to a new spot every day to have dinner with his wife in chicago or at least to be on TV every day...and then authorizing $4.6 billion to be paid in reparations...the blacks would label him

"nigga rich!"

and that is pretty close to the truth!

Is there no Statute of Limitations on Slavery issues in this Country?

Fellow conservatives take note: THIS is a very important story. Check out Andrew Breitbart’s coverage on his “biggovernment” site. If this story is pursued fully, it would be the Achilles Heel of the Dem party - or I should say another of several Achilles Heels developing..

If I'm black and I just bought a farm, how much money will Obambi be sending me. How the hell do they decide where this money goes.. Are they going to write a check to every native American in the country. If a brothers in the hood plants a garden in a flower box, is he now a farmer and entitled to a nice check.

Race relations will only worsen as these clowns continue to reward one group of Americans over another either because of their color.Of course it's exactly what they want and there are a lot of people making a lot of money by keeping blacks and whites divided.

It's really over isn't it. That election meant jack-sh*t, were done.

Last one out turn out the lights.
