House throws reparations door wide open

If you forget the past, you are doomed to repeat it.

You are taking me too literally. We need to let this not be an issue. Those folks are dead. We need to move on.

 

[2minkey]

yes, folks do need to move on. in fact, most of us don't even think about this shit at all. but some folks just keep re-hashing it. again and again. same stuff comes up. the whiney call and the panicked response.

The part that gets me on all of this is the lack of appreciation that Blacks have for their ancestors who paved the way for them to have what they have today. Their ancestors gave their all and they are reaping the rewards of that sacrifice.

Today's Blacks think nothing of the fact that without slavery the majority of them who live in America would today be running around the African Savannah in a loin cloth herding a bunch of cows and goats -- if they survived the tribal wars, genocide, and purges.

That is completely idiotic. Really? "Thank you for enslaving my people"?

The most ignorant thing I've heard all week.
