Let me put something in perspective for you…..because some,
not necessarily you readers, have their heads up their asses on this issue.
Reparations for slavery.
It is an election cycle in the US (and it will be until the left stamps
out the republic), and on the democrat side, one of their current, accepted by
all lefties, mantras is that America owes black Americans reparations for
slavery. Now, most of us would roll our
eyes and declare bullshit on the very idea, as we should….but as we move closer
to banana republic in this nation, you cannot be sure that this would never
happen.
And, before we go further, let’s take a look at, what is
possibly the most prominent of, if not the only, case of national reparations…..that
of the former West Germany paid to the descendants of, and survivors of, the Holocaust. The systematic taking from and of, the life
of Jewish citizens of Europe, through a sanctioned government program, is completely
dfferent than slavery in the US. I hate
it for you if you are a reparations acolyte, but the two are in NO WAY
similar. The NAZI’s attempted to erase
an entire race and faith, wherever it was found….it was government policy. The NAZI’s went and SEARCHED for people to
murder. All Jews were to eventually to be killed when everything had
been taken from them that could be taken from them. Post war reparations were (and to an extent
ARE), paid to the few survivors by a new, legitimate government in West Germany
(there is no instance of reparations being paid by the east German government).
Now that we are past that red herring….let’s look at the
lefts reparations proposal, espoused by Warren, Harris and Booker (and I am
sure others….whatever the leftist axe is, it must be ground by all candidates
in order to survive the primaries); I think the first question to be asked is….why?
Why do the democrats want to pay reparations to an entire race….MOST
of which I am guessing have no ancestry stretching back to slavery? Is it their own guilt for being the party of
slavery, the KKK, Jim Crowe? If this is
the case, let them sack up and write the check.
And, since I mentioned writing the check….since we know the
left isn’t going to pay for it…..how will it be paid? The only thing that would equal leftist “equitable”
in a scenario like this is to have EVERYBODY be taxed to pay reparations. So, people who never owned slaves, who had no
role in slavery are going to be taxed to pay reparations for people who were
never slaves?
I mean, in a liberal mind, I guess that makes sense. Punish EVERYONE for the sins of the left.
What became the democrat party is the party that started
slavery, perpetuated slavery, started the civil war, started the KKK, started
and enforced the Jim Crowe laws…….That is HISTORY….and try as they can, the
left, as long as they enforce identity politics, will have to live with it.
And…..and this is NOT going to be popular….if we want to talk
reparations. My tax dollars, every year,
every day, go to “social welfare programs” that benefit me none at all. SOMEWHERE in my city, someone that doesn’t
work and is pushing out babies like pups in a litter, is getting food stamps,
subsidized or free housing, getting into college because they are not white,
getting jobs for the same reason (which actually hurts us all…regardless of race). Lyndon Johnsons’ “Great Society”, ensuring
that black Americans stayed on the democrat plantation for generations, ENSURED
that I, me, you and others, that had NOTHING to do with slavery, and indeed
find the notion repugnant, will pay reparations for life.
Democrats do not need to run on reparations….they ARE
reparations….their promise to black Americans is “free chicken”; we are going
to take from whitie, that had ZERO to do with slavery, to give to you that have
no idea what slavery is.
If the democrats want to address slavery….perhaps they
should ask the Muslims that idiots elected to congress, about the black
Africans that Muslims take and sell for as little as $500, into slavery.
That is my rant.
I have linked to articles on the subject here…..and I am
telling you….this whole idea is antithetical to America….just like the people
proposing the idea.
Do not…do not let these people destroy America….because
trust me….this is what they are after.
Add to it: What about the TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars$$$ spent over the last 50 years (half a century, since the 60's at least)on public housing, food stamps, jobs training, social services, community centers, affirmative action programs etc etc etc??? Seems like reparations have well been paid, with interest.
