Obama Aide Says Reparations ‘Top Priority’

[Mav88]

reparations are not new, but they are a joke.

The idea that America owes a debt to African-Americans because of slavery is hardly new.

It was an issue debated by politicians after the Civil War, raised by aging ex-slaves at the dawn of the 20th century and trumpeted by civil rights leaders in the 1960s.

Why is it bursting back into view?

"You cannot explain the uniqueness of a pregnant moment — and this is a pregnant moment in history," says activist Jesse Jackson.

"The issue has critical mass."

From college campuses and state capitols to courthouses and corporate boardrooms, reparations is suddenly a hot topic.

Jackson himself is an example of the resurgent interest. Long supportive of calls for reparations, he has previously steered clear of deeper involvement. Now, he's taking up the cause by urging New York Life and other insurers that once issued policies on slaves for their masters to open corporate files and consider ways to make redress.

"All those years of work without wages are the foundations of America's wealth," Jackson says. "America must acknowledge its roots in the slavery empire, apologize for it ... and work on some plan to compensate."

what's more interesting is the last quote. I've shown that black people are an economic burden, but being led by stupid liberal commie such as Jackson, they really believe that all you see around you is built on an economic foundation of a bunch of cotton pickers 160 years ago and they are owed for it.

How STUPID are you EXACTLY?
reparation stories/Proposals are not non-existent.

Yea, they exist mostly on satirical and white supremacist websites which is why I asked you how old you were.

So let's see. After sentences like this:

, "Therefore we'll be placing a special tax on Southern whites to pay for this spending."

"If you eat grits for breakfast, drink sweet tea, or have Jeff Foxworthy albums on cassette tape in your car - you'll be getting a bill from us. And If you know who Larry the Cable Guy is, you'll be facing an extra surcharge."

Jarrett admits that in the likely event that Congress will refuse to act, President Obama will institute his reparations program through executive order.


The same moron AGW deniers like Lucrum, PT and 377 still don't get that it's a joke and start flipping out. You can feel their heads exploding. LOL. Too funny. What does that tell you about deniers and indeed right wingnuts in general?

Yes, they're morons.

This is quite normal for the dim-witted paranoid right that they uncritically will believe any sort of thing including far-fetched conspiracies of all kinds. The latest I heard was from my moron righty , gun-nut BIL. He was telling everyone at a party how Obama is trying to get a law passed to let him run for a third term. I basically told him he was nuts. A quick search on Google when I got home of course proved it to be bullshit.

You are also blind to the benefits of global warming.

If 'our progess' means a leftist agenda, then I can assure you that timid ignorance isn't in thier way, reality is in their way.

Reparations are a serious topic to the black community, so was the article must be meant to make fun of blacks and ridicule their timid ignorance.

Not so fast buddy.
If any reparations are due it's for stealing property, property rights and the dividends to the owners of the slaves.

Furthermore you owe the reparations for all the destruction and War Crimes committed by the Union forces.

In addition to that the US govt still owes the Southern States for all the exploitation of the carpet bagger era.

Starting to get the picture here?
You folks owe us 100's times more than the silly 40 acres and a mule.

As a matter of fact blacks have been and continue to be "paid" reparations through govt intervention, welfare programs and legal institutional .....
