"What exactly is it that you are OWED, and how much?"

IM2 says that if "they don't get what they are owed, America will be destroyed."

I hope he and his colleagues don't "destroy America" before they itemize exactly what it is he and his constituents are "owed" before they start burning the place down.

Mood:  Fretful!! 

[IM2]

Blacks are not going to destroy anything. But America will be destroyed for not following the spiritual law that says that you must free your slaves after 7 years and you must pay them for their serivce. The I was not there excuse has no merit.

What "slaves?"

I released my "slaves" centuries ago.

[Case_Closed]

But what are you OWED?

And how much?

What is this "thing" you are OWED?

[Case_Closed]

And I'm not talking about the inequities of the people who actually WERE slaves, IM2.  They've been dead and buried for centuries.

I'm asking you:  What are YOU owed?

And how much?

And why are YOU owed it?

[Case_Closed]

IM2, if you are able enunciate exactly what this "thing" is that you are owed, and precisely how much, I am willing and prepared to "pay you off" so that you can get on with your life and be a happy person.

It really shouldn't be difficult for you to express what this "thing" is; right?  You've been thinking about it every single day of your life.

What is it, and how much, sir?

Maybe Minister Farrakhan can explain it for you, IM2?

Case Closed,


We have gone over this before badnews, and I am not going to repeat myself again. Your excuses are invalid, so go look for some other argument that supports your oppsotion to reparations.

Translation:  "I am incapable of expressing myself in words in a reasonable way to put forth the argument that I am owed a single thing.  In fact, I OWE this board the decency to shut my pie hole."

[IM2]

Wrong.  You  made a thread apologizing for something a while back. You then asked the same silly question you are asking now.  I descrbed exactly who owes us and what we are owed. Since you are not a government official, me telling you what we are owed again will produce nothing but more stupidity.

EOD.

The only argument you have is "Because you're white." Isn't that rather immature and ignorant?

First of all, you don't even know the number of States there were when slavery was abolished.  Second of all, you don't even know the States that abolished slavery before slavery was abolished.  How can you penalize people who were anti-slavery just because they are white?

No, sir.  That's not smart.  That's not smart at all.

EXCELLENT POINT !

so, uh, exactly how many government officials have you made your demands to? 
How's that working out for you?

You should try a guy named Obama, he's dead set against the ridiculous notion of reparations but your mild, thoughtful, intellectual approach might just win him over.....worth a shot, rumor has it that he's giving (at least) lip service to any and all for the next year.

The only thing that's gonna satisfy IM2 is if he's allowed to bullwhip a couple of White Devils and make them pick cotton all day.

If it would shut him the fuck up, I might volunteer for it.

badnews,

The only argument you have is "Because you're white." Isn't that rather immature and ignorant?

I have presented what I need to someone like you. The argument is not because you are white. That is the argument you want to make up because you are unable to face the truth.

First of all, you don't even know the number of States there were when slavery was abolished.  Second of all, you don't even know the States that abolished slavery before slavery was abolished.  How can you penalize people who were anti-slavery just because they are white?

Since the issue is not simply slavery, the number of states existing when slavery was abolished  is irrelevant. We are also owed money for lost wages and for pain and suffering due to the racial discrimination that lasted for 100 years AFTER SLAVERY WAS OVER!

So until you can factor that into your argument don't try arguing.

The only thing that's gonna satisfy IM2 is if he's allowed to bullwhip a couple of White Devils and make them pick cotton all day.

If it would shut him the fuck up, I might volunteer for it.

Yawn! Once again let me repeat:Blacks are owed money for past labor performed, for lost wages, and for pain and suffering due to the racial discrimination that lasted for 100 years AFTER SLAVERY WAS OVER!


Buffy,

It doesn't matter what you think is not going to happen.  I don't care what Obama dosn't support. He is a politician who knows that if he supports reparations that he will get no white votes.  The truth is that blacks are owed.  Your opposition to this truth doesn't change it. All of the silly excuses and lies that I have read over the years by those like you doesn't change this truth either. Blacks are owed money for past labor performed, for lost wages, and for pain and suffering due to the racial discrimination that lasted for 100 years AFTER SLAVERY WAS OVER!

And there is nothing you can say that changes this fact.
