Gawain 0 #6 January 18, 2009 QuoteDo you not think that there are communities that are going to demand financial reparation? Let them demand. There isn't one person that can tie their current circumstance to pre-civil war action or environment. A welfare-mother is not on welfare because of slavery 140 years ago. She's not even on welfare because of events 50 years ago. No amount of money will "fix" the perceived problem.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #7 January 18, 2009 QuoteQuoteSo when do you think Obama will start drafting the reparation checks? He IS their reparation. Not according to the NAACP. Do a look-up. They were saying before the election the civil rights struggle does not end with him. I understand their point, but their arguments will not have as much iron in the glove.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Quite a stretch, there. Tell you what, wait until he becomes President, and then hold his feet to the fire for what he actually does or fails to do. That's democracy in action.

And if he's the "new Uncle Tom" then how does that point to him automatically forcing the issue of reparations? The two points of view seem diametrically opposed. Simply because, as you said he won't. In certain circles, though, just as politicians and their lackeys do, they lied and have the public, or certain factions of the public, believing that Obama is going to produce. When he doesn't he'll be Uncle Tom.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #15 January 18, 2009 only problem is: can you come up with any actual quote from Obama where he said he was going to mail out "reparations checks?"and will he do this before or after he gets Bill Ayers to blow up the Washington Monument and turns America into a Muslim Socialist Dictatorship?

Actually, as politicians go - he doesn't need to say it - just that the public BELIEVES he needs to, or believe that he should have said those things to be accountable for those actions. It doesn't matter that he didn't say it - it matters that those that believe that they are due the reparations will believe he should provide it. Oh - and as far as Muslim - i thought there was supposed to be separation between Church and State? Or is that only when it is convenient for arguments sake?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybill 22 #19 January 19, 2009 Hi speed, Ya' gotta love it. The Civil War was supposed to have ended in 1865, some 145 years ago! There was a clamoring for retribution back then,"I wants mah 40 acres of ol' massa's land an' a mule!!" There ain't no 40 acres and' ther' ain't no mule!! Wasn't then and there ain't none now!!SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #20 January 19, 2009 My point is that the Right is continuing to use hysterical fear-mongering about what THEY supposed Obama stood for, when in fact he never did. The "reparation checks", the Muslim thing, the idea that his birth certificate was a forgery, the idea that he was a radical extremist, etc. were ALL bullshit that the Obama's political enemies made up, and now he's supposed to somehow reconcile or answer for this bullshit that was never true in the first place.

turtlespeed 221 #21 January 19, 2009 I think you miss the point. I know of no black or ethnic preacher that is republican. I'm not saying that there aren't any. The radio host that I was listening to - on several different occasions was supporting obama. And they were saying that Obama would make the reparation a reality and the money would soon be coming their way. There is NO WAY that he will be able to do that. UNLESS of course he was speaking only to the executives that financed his campaign.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
