Every once in a while I have to remind one of my black friends that my Uncle, who I knew well until he died a dozen years ago, was a slave. (Japanese POW camp slave laborer). Irish and white and he was a slave. Sometimes I also mention that at least the blacks were worth something when they got here, the Irish weren’t worth anything to the ship after they bought a ticket. The idea that slavery affects the average black person today is a farce. As for reparations, it was an economic system we inherited at our birth as a nation. As every Democrat knows, if you inherit something, you aren’t responsible for it. Nudge nudge wink wink, say no more, say no more.
Let us not forget that this Ogletree has visited
the Whitehouse 19 times. Surely they talked about
more than the weather.
