Democrats uniformly believe America is hateful, evil and needs to be destroyed to save it. The problem is their standard of comparison has never existed.
The May 23 meeting of the Community Reparations Commission.
ASHEVILLE - After only its second meeting, the Community Reparations Commission unanimously approved its first recommendation to Buncombe County and the city of Asheville: a demand for funding in perpetuity.
The motion was made by Keith Young, the former City Council member who wrote the city's historic initiative and has criticized the process in the past. Young said the money must be asked for now, as the city and county finalize their budgets for the coming fiscal year.
"What they took from us is our generational wealth and our money," Young said. "It's not our job to figure out where the money comes from, that is not our job. Our job is to ... make sure that our people are whole for reparations."
Evanston, Illinois has begun paying protection money (er, Reparations), using income from legal pot sales to fund the Program. First payments have been made. The initial reaction, per CBS Evening News, is that white folks are not giving black people nearly enought.
It will be a long, hot summer.
Historically, revolutions begin AFTER citizens begin to become more financially solvent and better off. America is on the edge of a cliff and one more killing of a black criminal who attempts to evade law enforcement could send us over the edge.
Again not to excuse America’s original sin, yet the fact is that slavery has been ubiquitous throughout the history of humankind. The trans-Atlantic slave trade was dwarfed by the African-Arab slave trade (which, as I understand it, involved the castration of male Africans). And what country more than America has done as much to right its wrongs, including but not limited to a great Civil War?
Keith Richburg's book 'Out of America -A Black Man Confronts Africa" was hated by his leftist colleagues at the Washington Post for his honesty about the continent of war and slavery that existed long before the first Europeans showed up. His opening scene of watching bloated and disfigured bodies of Tutsi tribesmen floating down the river below him, a few of the 800,000 hacked to death, burned alive, or murdered in a four month frenzy in 1994 by the Hutus called the Rwandan genocide was the perfect groundwork for a book that told the truth about Africa in a way that is still relevant today.

Well said.
