It is largely the Caucasian and Asian people who are being discriminated against today.
Not the folks who are most prominent in seeking ‘reparations...” indeed, they mostly belong to the racial group that is benefitting from all sorts of racial preferences.

Wrong plaintiffs, gang. Wrong plaintiffs.

I think I should be paid a couple million dollars because my great-great grandfather died in the Civil War fighting to free the ancestors of these folks. It can be deducted from the black reparations and paid to me instead.

Fair is fair.

Can’t say what they can do instead of getting reparations on this board.
If they’re not careful, they might find out what the “white man from town” can do.

Coming from “the Cape Cod View?”

How about inviting some black folk to your vacation homes as a start?

The editors of the Cape Cod View are far too busy attending gay romps to host black folks.

the question recently occured to me— how will the govt know who is paying the reparations. There is no seperate bank one for white taxpayers and one for black taxpayers. Black taxpayers will be funding their own reparations!

The problem at this stage isn’t bigotry. Its too few Christians per square mile.

Ben Affleck, that liberal slave holder, I know it was he family, however he didn't earn his $75,000,000 wealth those slaves did. Come on Ben cough up that slave money. It's the least you can do

Yay! I’m for reparations!

Starting off, lets consider paying my family for the wrongs my ancestors endured under the rule of Longshanks. Then we can proceed to sue the Crown for our losses following the Jacobite Rebellion.

Just as soon as negros start talking about repaying all the money pissed away since the sixties so they could breed like rats and be paid for it with my tax money.

OK, you been supported all this time, what do you have to show that you have done with it? Not a damn thing? Pissed it all away and did nothing but breed more thugs?

Give a damn about you inner city negros, I do not...............

Twenty trillion dollars just since 1965 wasn't enough?

Exactly.

I actually knew a guy named Cromwell.

Not surprisingly, he was a lying, cheating POS.

Must be genetic.

I owned no slaves, therefore I owe nothing.

Speak for yourself.

However, all of those who DO own slaves should be fined $1 million per slave, with each slave then being awarded $150K as reparations.

The federal government will retain 85% of the revenue to cover administrative costs -- as it does with all other welfare programs.

...the African-American experience in the U.S., where they and their ancestors have long been denied the staples of daily life as immediate as food and as abstract as opportunity to participate in the American dream.

This is complete horsepucky. Neither they nor their (recent anyway) ancestors has been denied anything, materal or non-material. That’s the problem. Where does the author (if you can call him that) think these jackasses acquired their entitlement mentality?

Their crime makes an undeniably convincing argument for the need to discuss slavery reparations.

It most certainly does no such thing. If anything, it argues powerfully for just the opposite: an end to the coddling of the African race. They need to learn to live, compete, struggle and strive just like the rest of us - or face the consequences, just like the rest of us.

Period.

The only one I support, and do so with wild enthusiasm, is a one time one way ticket to any destination in Africa.

Love it! Just a simple "no". And since when have black people been denied laundry detergent?

Did this moron author think for a second that maybe, just maybe, the store had already been stripped clean of liquor and narcotics?

Looters have priorities, you know.

And Froot Loops ain't one of them.

“the Cape Cod View?”

For reals? As is my practice, did not go to the article.

You do have to wonder, just how many negros are wandering down the streets in Cape Cod, let alone living there?

But then, exposing the hypocrisy of the liberals is like an unexpected volcanic eruption. Violent, but great fun to watch.
