" Violently disagree " with Mr. Achorn ?

For a number reasons - unconnected to RACISM - I do not think

    that reparations are owed to descendants of black slaves.  So I was not

    impressed  with the column in today's Providence Journal by Nzinga Misgana

    and Asata M. Tigray -familiar AMERICAN names ! - " Why reparations are owed

    to blacks ".

              These gentlemen " violently disagree " with Mr. Achorn in this

    matter. Isn't it possible on EVERY  controversy nowadays to just politely

    disagree ? Must poor Mr. Achorn hire a body guard too ? I understand that

    75 Fountain St. has enough problems right now !

               Think about this aspect of the problem : IDENTIFICATION of

    descendants. In order to this fairly the country - using advanced DNA

    testing - would have to be as racially obsessed as  Nazi Germany .

               Should a half-black be as  unworthy of compensation as a

    half-Jew in Germany who has Holocaust relatives ?

                Should the compensation be such as to completely eliminate

    millions of blacks from the blue collar work force ? After compensation

    they as a NEW CLASS can  be free to hire and exploit  the white descendants

    of the victims of the notorious Industrial Revolution ?

                     And I guess the remaining poor whites have no excuse for

    being poor - as they were never victims of RACISM. They are still poor

    because they are lazy, shiftless, immoral white trash !

                   Perhaps  Misgana and Tigray might benefit from reading

    volume one of Karl Marx's " Capital ". I'm not quite sure today about

    the labor theory of value. But it makes at least as much sense as Isaac

    Newton's laws of motion.  Einstein taught us that these laws are not

    quite right - a little off the mark, sometimes way off the mark. But

    they got us to the Moon and back - and even to Mars and beyond.

                   Narrow minds are always off the mark in an expanding

    universe. Try to violently disagree with REALITY !
