btw I should note that realistically I do not support reparations, but in theory- they seem almost reasonable.

But I want to run a little test here.

Imagine you are black. Yes imagine you are black and your ancestors were enslaved in recent history. It has only been 150 years since slaves were running around. This wasn't hundreds of years ago as some posters have said. Would you hold a grudge? would you want reparations?

That's all I ask, is a little empathy for the black man.

No, I wouldn't Diss. I don't blame people in England today for the potato famine in Ireland 160 years ago.

It's not stupid at all. Have you every wondered how to differentiate between a black person in African and a black person in America? African-Americans are Blacks, but Blacks are not necessarily African-Americans.

No. However, I have always wondered if a white person from South Africa could immigrate to the us and make use of Affirmative Action programs by legitimtaly claiming to be African-American.

I believe Powell is a moderate, but he chose to be a Republican anyway. I think it was a bad idea, but people have different priorities.

I'm reflecting the attitudes of the mainstream African American population. My best friend's dad... who's black BTW, screams "Uncle Tom Motherf***er!" every time he sees Powell or Condie on TV.

hehe don't worry, at least you didn't say, "Sara". I got suspended for a week in high school for telling a substitute teacher to "open your ****ing eyes" when he called me "Sara" during roll call.

Hmmm...

Well, I know for a fact that my own family was heavily involved in the Underground Railroad (fighting on the side of Union and, perhaps surprisingly to some, on the side of the Confederacy!). I suppose, then, I would have to pay a quarter fine, eh?
