With deep sympathy for the victims of the odious slave trade,
I must say that all this talk about reparations for past slavery is indeed
inspired by base instincts -like greed - and propensity of naive blacks for
pleasant fantasies and fatuous daydreaming.
So one day a government check will arrive in the mail. And
instantly every black person who can claim some slave as an ancestor is
the equal of the big time lottery worker. No need to work another day in
your life. Leave all the blue collar grind to white crackers who may have
had ancestors who fought to free the slaves.
All that dispersed wealth would be better used for a national
health care plan for ALL working people, educational opportunities for ALL
working people, and every society needs funds set aside for every kind of
calamity - economic depression, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, epidemics,
and now even TERRORISM - a very costly war against it.
And middle America does frown on ALL unearned money. Think about
that while imagining yourself with the life style of the rich and famous-
and obnoxious - all because your ancestors were slaves. And their ghosts
might haunt you: " All my misery for YOU ? "
I hear the factory whistle blowing. Wake up ! Think
UNION ! That might get you out of your rut.
