BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there's a singer out there, a Grammy award-winning singer by the name of Lauryn Hill, and she has been given three months in prison for failing to pay about a million dollars in taxes over the last 10 years. She blames slavery for it. She said, "I am a child of former slaves who had a system imposed on them. I had an economic system imposed on me." So she's saying her parents were slaves and she shouldn't have to pay taxes because her parents were slaves. Well, if she's gonna say that she's a child of former slaves...
(interruption)
It's what? Well, I've got the whole story here. Snerdley's telling me it's kookier than even we can imagine, and I don't doubt that. Wesley Snipes shoulda tried it. He got a year. She only got three months. So the slavery excuse... (interruption) Oh, she paid the money. I know she paid the money. That's the thing, three months, almost a million dollars, but she sat there, she blamed slavery. She attempted to get out of paying it saying (paraphrasing), "The reason I didn't pay it is because I shouldn't have to. I'm the daughter of slaves. I had a system imposed on me. The system's not mine, it's yours. I shouldn't have to pay any of this."
But that's not the point. She's a multimillionaire. She's a Grammy award-winning singer in the United States of America, and she's trying to portray herself as some sort of prisoner. Who's putting that kind of stuff in her mind? The Democrat Party. All the people she hangs around with in the music business, all the leftists and the liberals, all this constant talk about what a racist country this is. This is what happens. That stuff doesn't just happen in a vacuum. You have these impressionable young people that don't know beans anyway because their education was worthless. So here she is a multimillionaire, loved and adored by millions of people, her music is purchased by tens of thousands of people, and she thinks she's a slave, or either using the excuse will somehow get her out of having to pay what she owes. It's just another sign of the cultural rot and decay.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Let's see. If Lauryn Hill is the child of former slaves, she must be like 130 or 140 years old, the mid-hundreds, if she's the child of former slaves. She used to be in the Fujis. She's earned a lot of money in this slave-infested, racist country -- and because it's all been imposed on her, she shouldn't have to pay taxes.
END TRANSCRIPT
Lots of black people feel the same way.
People have no reason to face the truth when the truth goes against their immediate personal interests.
“I am a child of former slaves”
************************************************
Well, maybe she’s not old — just the daughter of REALLY, REALLY OLD parents.
Or perhaps she was born to not old parents who are, or recently were, slaves of Muslims.
Four brave Americans needlessly and mendaciously being left to die at Benghazi? That was way less than one year ago!

Socialism is slavery to the State.
Likely she’s five generations removed from anyone who even MIGHT have been a slave in America.
Aw, crap...another millionaire victim.
Her precious DNC has used taxes to enslave us all.
She has awaken form her Matrix bubble!
Another Pigford claimer, no doubt.
America pays the price for the slave trade every day. Things would so much better if it never happened.
So it’s ok to be rich and one of the 1% if you’re not white. This oppressive, racist country made it possible for her to go from rags to riches.
America pays the price for the slave trade every day. Things would so much better if it never happened.

Agreed — But if it hadn’t happened, the Democrats would invent some other explanation of why various groups of people need to feel they are “victims” who are helpless without the Democratic Party being their nanny.
Ex 20:5,6
Looks like God said He would visit the iniquity of our fathers on us to the 3rd or 4th generation...
another libtard who:
1) is trying to play the victim card
2) loves big government so much that she refuses to recognize that it is the government's fault, and not a slave society, that imposes such large taxes in the first place.
Another victim .......sigh
bump

Depending upon a person’s age today (2013) it’s more like a minimum of 5 - 7 generations since slavery.
It’s all one big excuse for personal failures.
