This bill is ridiclous. Spend some time on something that is current and will help us right now.
Ok pay back the Blacks, Then I want you to turn right around and pay back the Irish, the Jews, the Chinese, the Japanese, and any other race or creed that had to suffer throughout this nations history. Oh wait, yeah nevermind that would consist of almost EVERY different group of peoples. You want to feel sorry for the now dissatached relatives of former slaves? Then why don’t you go to Africa and see what life would be like for them right now. That is true slavery, living under a dictator such as Robert Mugabe. The world is not a nice place, people build themselves on the backs of others labors. It’s human nature, I’m all for giving reparations to Slaves. Find me a single black man women or child that was a slave and I will personaly pay them out of my own pocket. If not then sit down, shut up, and be grateful that we live in a country so great as this, were no man, woman, or child knows TRUE want. I’ve lived with the tribes people of the Matabele, the Shona, and the Shangan, there is no family in America that lives on that level of poverty,,, Yet those African Natives are happy with what they have, they are friendly to strangers, and you never hear them complain of the troubles of life. People have become too soft for their own good, and it makes me sick.
First, America has been the best country on earth for black
folks It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in
slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to
Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and
prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees
and thank God he is an American.
white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’ 60s on
We hear the grievances.. Where is the gratitude??welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants,
student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and
poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into
the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in
discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract
set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white
applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individ
uals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup
kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for
blacks.
