Should blacks be given restitution? For what? I got about one percent Indian in me. Why, I don't know. But I want some money too. Hey, I have some German in me; I think I should sue Germany for what my ancestors went through. And oh my, I have Irish in me, and Polish, Dutch, why heck, I think I'll just file a class action suite against the world, because I am here. Dear Lord help us! How stupid can we get? These people are owed nothing! This is what we call the learning process of mankind. Every single nationality has been through some sort of heinous crimes somewhere in their lineage, including every American, white, pink green or otherwise.
How about we start by looking in the mirror and saying, I am going to make something of who I am, and I am going to do it with my own talents that I have been blessed with! Africans were slaves, Jews were slaughtered, Irish were starved, Philippians were butchered, and the list is endless. When do we finally stop and say yes we are a barbarous world, but we are learning; hopefully. I think we have learned much, and I think we have much to learn. It's called life. Who knows, in a hundred years the white people may have a case against blacks in America. I would say we could almost make a case now. With the onslaught of murder and hate these people have for us and "themselves," it's a wonder they even have a race left to fight for. Do you realize the can of worms this would open up? We might as well just turn the country over to whoever wants it, because this nation has offended just about every other nation in the world at one time or another. I dare say, with the way we pay off restitution these days, we may as well give our nation to Iraq.
Think about it people. Is it any wonder they keep looking for free lunches when all we ever do is live in the past? It's like feeding a stray cat. What reason do they have to ever make something of themselves if you keep feeding them for nothing? We do this strange thing with every one. No matter what color you are, you should have no more or less help then any one else. If they are black and disabled, let them have disability. But don't give them disability just because they are black. Poor and hungry, give them food stamps and welfare, but don't give them a special form or duration or separate set of rules for food stamps and welfare because of the color of their skin. We need to start by taking the "ethnicity" question off every single piece of paper in America. What is this all about?
