This is just fucking retarded. The idea of reparations is fucking stupid. "Here is some money, please forgive the unfair way your great great great great grandfather was treated." How the hell does that help anything, people are just looking for a fucking hand out. Shit like this is a waste of time and money. Just like giving N. Korea money to behave. Its like telling your kids they get candy or games for being good. You don't give shit to your kids for being good, they are supposed to act that way. If they are bad then you punish.

Sorry went off on a tangent, but you get the damn idea.

The whole idea is nonsense. Why should MY tax money go to people who may or may not have descended from slaves? I didn't own any slaves, nor did my family. We came here from Norway in the early 1900's, my family had nothing to do with it. None of these people were slaves. How will handing them money do anything?

I'm so sick of fucking handouts. It's disgusting. Did you read that book yet, Fred?

Exactly, my family is made up of Germans and Native Americans. Don't see me asking for shit. Not that I should get anything from the German side....although I'd take a free BMW.....hell gimme an old VW Thing and I'll be happy. :D

No, been pretty busy lately. Haven't even checked a bookstore to see if they have it.

Pick up your check as you exit the plane into your native county.

Not a bad ideal.

what can i say detroit is full of people who refuse to work and think the goverment should take care of them.

From russia, we had no part in slaves and Ill be damned if I am going to pay anything.
