Race

In the late 60s, there were widespread riots in Chicago. I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. On one Saturday I went to work with my dad. As I waited on the sidewalk, I suddenly felt a punch in the back. I turned around and saw a group of black boys around my age laughing.

I would never dream of hitting a perfect stranger, then or now. Whatever they're selling in those churches, at those rallies, in those neighborhoods, I ain't buying.

I am not racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti semitic, and I refuse to be labelled as such.

Hardly. A scant generation ago people were being murdered for registering black voters, today a black man is poised to become the most powerful person on the planet.

Do you ('ll) feel that the holocaust jews should get REPARATIONS ? If so , do you feel that anyone that has gone through anything like that should get the same Reparation ? If not , then you ('ll) tell me when is it ( racism )over ? I know I wil not be getting any feed back , but I just wanted to say - JUST A THOUGHT - GODS WARNING OR GLOBAL WARMING ? Love You ('ll), LUCKY

where you are coming from. I am your age and can tell you some stories that would make you cring. Remember Obama saying that his grandmother said some racist things about blacks that made him cring? What a joke! Where would Obama be had it not been for his white grandparents? The liberal MSM had made it a point and still make it a point to state that Obamas Father was black and his mother was white. Big deal!Had it not been for a black woman (Mildred Loving)and her white lover and husband (Richard Loving)the laws would still be in place against interracial marriages.There was a story about this ground breaking interracial couple in The Courier Journal newspaper in Louisville Kentucky and it was an interesting read. Mildred Loving recently passed away and the love of her life Richard passed away in a car accident in 1975 but she remained faithful to her love and never remarried. Now that is a woman/wife that every man would love to have.

I actually tried (for the sake of argument) to take the logic of reparations seriously, and ended up coming to some pretty absurd conclusions:

Obviously, I was never a fan of reparations, and always thought the logic of holding future generations guilty for crimes committed by their ancestors absurd. But only when I actually carried the logic through to its logical conclusion did I realize how utterly absurd the theory was.
