WATCH: Oakland Reverend of Color™ (ROC) Demands $200 MILLION Per Black Californian in Reparations
"The anti-life of [Jerry Falwell] proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and truth in this country if you'll just get yourself called Reverend. People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup."
-Christopher Hitchens
As I recently reported elsewhere, a self-styled REVEREND with a righteous Social Justice™ ax to grind took the mic to drop some real hard troof bombs before a California's "reparations task force" hearing:
Whitey owes the great-great-great-grandchildren of slaves $200 MILLION EACH to right the historic wrongs.
"I'ma tell you like a n**** told me
Cash rules everything around me"
-Biggie Smalls, Notorious Thugs
(Biggie said the "n-word," not me. Please send requests for reparations to his descendants.)
Of course, reaching back hundreds of years in history to retroactively demand cash money for historic wrongs totally isn't opening a pandora's box that would virtually guarantee perpetual racial conflict.
So get your checkbook out, sign it, put "reparations" in the note, and leave the dollar box blank, bigot.

The vast majority of African Americans have a lot of European ancestry. Choosing one part of your ancestry to identify with, and pretending that some of your own ancestors aren't the exact wrong-doers you accuse modern-day people (who weren't born at the time of the acts you want reparations for) of being is a logical fallacy. Slavery, as awful as it is to all parties involved, has been practiced by all of our ancestors, all over the world. The resulting problems can't be paid away. Life just isn't that simplistic.
Why is there no coverage of descendants of Civil War Union soldiers?
