How much was taken, being the opening question.<br /><br />Like I said, you want to be clever. The problem is, you're not saying anything - anything - that hasn't been said a billion times before. I mean, who leaps to "how reparations would be parceled out" before knowing the entirety of the amount you're talking about, and how many ways it would be split? <br /><br />It's a silly line of questioning.<br /><br />"And I am still interested in how you think reparations should be parceled out. <br /><br />Can you try pointing me to something else?"<br /><br />Yes - look at redlining maps. Everyone who grew up within them, and identified as "black" on the census for 10 or more years before reparations, can get it.<br /><br />How's that for a rough sketch?<br /><br />"Or, I suppose, you could just call me racist again for asking questions you can't answer and leave it at that."<br /><br />Yeah, when you're intentionally wasting my time, and being this ignorant, that sounds about right. <br /><br />Racist.The Crack Emceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366101526773588864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28199487049336742912014-06-16T07:47:14.968-05:002014-06-16T07:47:14.968-05:00Crack, I asked you how reparations would be parcel...Crack, I asked you how reparations would be parceled out.

His book was an excellent read. <br /><br />If you think a single embarrassing tale diminishes any of that, you are waaay more shallow than you're trying to pretend, Mr. Smithee - stuffy bullshit name you got there - which may impress whites but (you know) would have blacks howling at you in no time. <br /><br />Stay where you feel safe, Tommy boy,... </i><br /><br />As a fan, it should be alarming to you that Robinson would believe the cannibalism tale out of New Orleans without verification. <br /><br />In <i>The Debt</i>, Robinson makes the case that in the event of congressional approval of a government inquiry into the question of whether or not black Americans are owed, the ripple effect would be a vigorous academic examination of not only crimes against Africans and American blacks, but of the sordid actions of Europeans of past centuries against each other. Robinson suggests that in addition to the 1933 book <i>The Mis-education of the Negro,</i> future college syllabi could include works like Kirkpatrick Sale's Columbus treatise, <i>The Conquest of Paradise</i>. For what reason? Here's Robinson in <i>Debt</i>, pages 242-3; <br /><br /><i>The scale of the truth-tale balancing now, if only a little, in a cleansing new wind, Robert [a composite white college student] could glimpse the unproud side of European history, washing him deep, persuading him, where no one could have witnessed his previous shame, that, when averaged, no racial group is, or ever has been, superior or inferior to another.</i><br /><br />Then, to illustrate the shame "Robert" might feel about his Euro-ancestry, Robinson quotes <b>this</b> excerpt from Sale's <i>Conquest</i>:<br /><br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * * <br /><br /><i>Among the instances [of cannibalism] reported with some authority: in 1476, in Milan, the unpopular tyrant Galeazzo Maria Sforza was dismembered and eaten by a crowd; in 1572, after the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, Huguenot body parts were sold at auction and reportedly eaten in Paris and Lyon; in 1617 the body of Marshal d'Ancre was eaten in France ... Montaigne asserts in "On Cannibalism" that both Catholics and Protestants ate each other during the sixteenth-century Wars of Religion, but he does not pretend to offer proof of it, perhaps because it seemed so believable.</i><br /><br /> * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br /><br />Read that again, and <i>think</i> about it. <br /><br />In Robinson's proposed new era of "fixing the race problem," "Robert" is supposed to be provided with deep-seated, long-standing shame of his forbears to counterbalance his white privilege, and stories of cannibalism in the midst of revolutionary and civil wars four and five centuries past are supposed to do that trick. Yet, five years after writing this, Robinson himself found himself believing that during peacetime, black Americans would start eating the bodies of the recently deceased after four days of delayed emergency assistance they KNEW was eventually arriving.<br /><br />That sounds more likely to have come from the pen of someone who was making the case for black <i>inferiority</i> rather than equality. But when Robinson reacted publicly to his mistaken belief that this had taken place, whom did he blame for the shameful actions of black residents of New Orleans? <br /><br />You know who.<br /><br />Nope, TBE, Robinson's boner is not simply a "single embarrassing tale." It's the accidental truth that changes everything previously thought about him, as with figures such as Ted Haggard, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford, and John Edwards.L.N.

So putting a link as your argument goes no where, as I don't ever click on it.<br /><br />As for what Kevin McCarthy knows or thinks, what does it matter? The Tea Party clearly won, they ousted Cantor.<br /><br />Does that mean the Tea Party rules the Republican Party and the establishment is gone? Nope.<br /><br />But each successive win for the Tea Party means we get closer and closer to that goal. Not seeing this as a win for the Tea Party is short sighted and silly. Each establishment Republican we replace, the better it gets.<br /><br />It may be slow going and take some time, and even some from the Tea Party (Rubio, for example) will be co opted, but eventually we'll get there.<br /><br />Looks like you're wrong twice on this one. Which isn't exactly unusual. Cruz did shut down the government and Cantor did lose to the Tea Party.<br /><br />Oh, and Republicans are going to win in November, but that won't shut you up. Nor should it.<br /><br />No one should shut up, not even those who disagree with you, Crack.<br /><br />BTW, don't hold your breath waiting for those reparations. Better to work as though you'll never get them, you'll be much happier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
