What did bitcoins ever do to deserve such a remark?

NWAs are everywhere.

I can think of no better way to perpetuate the racial divide than to tell modern day Americans they need to pay reparations to blacks when they have already been doing so for decades.

NWAs? Northwest Anesthesia Seminars? (Per Google’s first hit)

Well they have, as the bible says, “lost all feeling”

My thoughts EXACTLY! How about these folks pay US back for the food stamps, section-8 housing, WIC, welfare checks, medical care, ADC, and other monies which have come their way? For that matter, the Egyptians enslaved the Jews for over 400 years. Where are their reparations? I don’t see many Jews standing around with their hand out for ‘em.

And anyhow shee-oot, yeah. We’ve footed the bill for the pity party quite long enough. Funny they never call an end to it when we do.

Name a country that's paid out.

Weimar Germany. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of the story.

This story isn't over also, and ultimately will not end well either. I mean it will end very BADLY.

Yeah, now we know why cotton-pickin’ came to be a mild cuss word.

Slavery has been around for a long time, but to carry it to the extent of putting the onus on a whole bloomin’ race was a horrible mistake. That took it past even biblical proportions.

But anyhow, now that race is busy putting onuses on itself. It says that its members don’t dare “act white.”

It’s like: Kill your parents, don’t expect too much sympathy for being an orphan.

Only the Lord, through being embraced anew, can break the vicious cycle here.

The Nazis went the completely opposite way. They went in for a virulent version of paganism.

Gee, I didn’t know there were any 200 year old former slaves still alive. But I think some of them still vote, so I guess someone will get the money.

And it is a cotton-pickin’ shame that nobody can shake off the hate.

Yes, the country DID embrace bad racism for centuries, though far from unanimously. That was hate. But what did the victims of this do? They embraced their own hate. Which lasted long after the earlier hate was officially abolished.

Now what do we have. Hatefest.

The only actual reparation that could be done would be to share the gospel with black America afresh. And you aren’t going to see Barack Obama championing this.

“I’m all for giving money to any of the black residents of Compton who can prove they personally endured 200 years of slavery.”

I’m for giving any of them who will take it, a one way ticket back to the African $hit Hole of their choosing. I realize that we still have a lot of work to do on race relations (we were doing a whole lot better before FUBO showed up), but I will wager that the worst day in any AA’s life here is a whole lot better than it would be back in the “African fatherland.” Make that “motherland,” there are a lot more mothers than fathers in the AA “Community.”

Reparations for African-Americans who endured 200-plus years of slavery in America will be among the topics featured at the second annual Reparations Day event March 6 in Tragniew Park here, organizers said.

Color me surprised, I didn't know anyone who endured 200 years of slavery was still alive today, much less survived 200 years of slavery.

Bitcoins never did anything. Remember. They are bitcoins. They don't know how to do anything.

Pay them to do what, just keep on acting black? Yeah acting black is the thing they overwhelmingly say they want to do, lest they be acting white.

How about repairing Compton that you trashed for starters instead of protesting fo’ mo’ cracker money.

There are fathers, they just don’t act like it.

That would be way too white. And white means devil.
