Red face Congressional Black Caucus Steams Ahead with Reparations Plans

Ho ho ho! I absolutely love this development. Personally I can't wait to see the reparations enacted, it will hit my billfold just as hard as yours but it will be worth it just to see all the grovelling "No Such Thing as Race!" folks being forced to shell out hard earned dollars on the basis of (drumroll)... Race!

While all you sensitive liberals and ball-less conservatives have been apologizing, grovelling, weeping, and showing how caring you are by turning on your own people and abandoning your own ethnic interests, the opposition has been working overtime. They've even managed to come up with a clever concept that will allow the class of people affected by slavery to be vastly and artfully expanded to include just about everybody except for Whitey. Don't believe me? Read the excerpt below and pay careful attention to that word "peonage". It's being used more and more frequently, and in the immediate future it's going to be used to whip your pathetically limp but ever-so-politically-correct arses like a cat-o-nine-tails.


Drag out those billfolds and cough up that dough, you hateful racist scum!

WASHINGTON -- Reparation for the legacy of slavery and peonage may not come in the form of a check, but it must come, speakers said Friday at a forum sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

Others said the apology for slavery that the House passed last year and the Senate passed this year were good first steps , and singled out U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., who was on Friday's panel, for authoring the House resolution.

(snip)

Getting the study bill passed in this Congress is finally possible, said Ogletree, because "my sense is we could not have a more propitious time."

Detroit City Council member JoAnne Watson said that the apology was a first step. She said the second step is investigation, the third step is compensation and the fourth step is consequences for wrongdoing.

"We are worth it," Watson said. "We're not begging. It's ours."

National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America chairwoman Njere Alghance of Georgia said placing the issue at the forefront of the international agenda is important. She said she's working to make "reparations" a household word like "holocaust" has become.

Professor Ron Walters of the University of Maryland, author of "The Price of Racial Reconciliation," said it's important to understand that slavery continued to exist well into the 20th century as peonage after it was formally ended in 1865.
