I can see where he's coming from on this. The fact that we have these reparation programs is helping to keep blacks and whites on different sides of the table.

mr obama, being black and white...does he sit at both sides of the table?

he sits at the kids table with tiger woods and mariah carey

..can you please pass the 40 acres and a mule...err, i meant the gravey.

haha, nice.

makes you wonder though... we gave $20,000 per japanese person that we interned during world war II AND paid for any property that they lost. as of yet we haven't paid for any of the slaves or their descendants that filled this country with cotton money for over two hundred years.

Drewbie Doobie Dew....you can go even farther back to the "Indians."
I think we owe them more than some fire water, a couple casinos and reservations tucked in the farthest most uninhabitable corners of nowhere.

We haven't?

What the fuck is affirmative action?

What the fuck is the NAACP?

naacp is the agency that fought against oppression, we (white people) didnt give them anything in regards to that, affirmative action fights against said oppression in the work place, you dont get to cut off someones arm then deny them a job because they are a half arm then start a program to give jobs to half armed people and call it even

that being said, I did nothing to any black person ever, and 99.999999% of black people out there were never directly wronged by white people (in terms of slavery), so no, I dont think that we owe them anything in that regard, whereas the japanese folk we paid 20 grand to were actually put in the camps

native americans definitely got a raw deal, but they do get free college and the right to be exploited by their own people at casinos, so thats something....

That's a very good point

What's keeping blacks and whites on different sides of the table is the obvious...

...they're different.

I want my acres and a mule god dammit!

btw, jews are still sewing companies all over the world for the holocaust profitiering.

and money should not be given out to people. it should be put into college fund programs and new deal type applications for getting urban renual going.

>>and money should not be given out to people. it should be put into college fund programs and new deal type applications for getting urban renual going.<<

Makes perfect sense.
Which is precisely why it won't ever happen.

Sadly, that's so true.

give them money to blow on poorly made products to profit white people, duh

it would go towards products made by asian people and managed by white people. tech supported by indians.

UNITY!!!

If by reparations they mean separations, I'm all for it. Pluralism has never worked.

No shit he isn't. If he said publicly running for President that he is for slave reparations, he might as well give McCain a gun and say "End it".
