See 1:52 - Obama cleary supports reparations for slavery.

BTW, I love the twisted/troubled look on Hillary as he gives his answer. 

You watched this and still think Obama is for reparations? That would be funny, but I think you are serious.

His exact words were "I think the reparation we need here in South Carolina is investment in our schools".. he then goes on to describe some crappy school he visited.

Hillary NEVER gives him a look, in fact she is nodding her head while he is talking.

The only Democrat who says that he is for reparations is Dennis Kucinich.

i'd be more concerned about the guy that asked the question? he looked to be in 30's or 40's? and he can barley talk?

  is african americans going to git repirations?  i know yall are gonna dance around this.

he should consider going back to school(college possibly) and learn to speak properly.

 repirations are one of the dumbest ideas there can possibly be in politics. no one living was a slave. no one living is/was affected by slavery. more blacks owned slaves than whites. just like now.....more blacks commit violent crimes against other blacks than whites do.
 they're simply wasting resources to even debate this. there's many more important things to be debating than repirations.

 and finally........they are NOT african americans. if they were born in america, they are AMERICANS. had they been born in africa, and moved to america, THEN they'd be african americans. they are people just like everyone else. period. or should i start calling myself a german/english american?

You are more concerned about the eloquence of some guy asking a question than you are about people spreading lies about a candidate for president?

heh.. ok.

[Hornet33]

I'm still waiting for him to answer a question. He never does, he just goes off on some tangent and ends up talking about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the question he was asked. Even his campaign website doesn't tell a person anything about where he really stands on any issue.

About the only thing that he has made clear is that he wants the federal government to have more control over every aspect of our lives and that he's not going to do anything that will really help anyone who actually works hard for a living to earn what they have.

There's only ONE WAY i'd grudgingly be for reparations.

Make it a ONE TIME lump sum payment.  None of this once a month entitlement check for the rest of their lives crap.  This will effectively give closure to the matter and all the money  (at least 99%) that is paid out will be back with its rightful ownwer within one year.

heh.. ok.

95% of anything to do with a presidential candidate is lies. if they were spreading lies about anyone else, and everything else the same, i'd have said the same thing. it's the norm.

Tipical politician:  Ask him what time it is and he'll explain how the watch is made.


Change?  meh

no.....that would still be wrong. they were never a slave. even so, why should our govt give them money for something that they never suffered from.

 the absolute only way that slavery can bother someone today(seeing as no one today suffered from it) is if they allow it.

I agree with you.  My post was a poorly veiled stab at poor peoples' money handling skills (lifted from a Dave Chappel skit).  This is not a racial thing.  Give a white trash welfare mamma 100k and in a year it will be gone and she will be back applying for more food stamps.  Case in point is the "Extreme Make Over" family whose "gimme" house is now in foreclosure.  Poor people will invariable stay poor no matter how much money you give them.

Whenever this topic is brought up i always ask, are they going to track down and make the tribes that sold the slaves pay as well?

It's another stupid self pity idea, for people that don't want to do for themselves.

Like some other guys said, if you go back far enough in time, most people were slaves to one degree or another from conquering nations.

Obamination is just looking for more of the black vote.

Obama says :  I would like all men to live free..

Wingnuts hear:  Obama wants to free terrorists.

Paranoid much?

I know how to make this real easy. I'd create a form that anyone who believes they are entitled to reparations has to fill out before they can get anything.

Here is my form.

Reparations Request Form:

Please circle only one answer.

1. Are you now or have you ever been a slave?        Yes          No

If you answered yes please use the space below to give the name, last known address, and last known phone number of the person who owned you as a slave. As slavery is illegal the proper authorities will be notified. You will be contacted by a lawyer who specializes in slavery cases and they will assist you in your case.

If you answered no you deserve nothing.

Please have a nice day



See a very simple form that takes care of everything.

"I think the reparation we need here in South Carolina is investment in our schools"

I can't believe you quoted him saying "The reparations we need" and still think he's not for reparations - he says WE NEED THEM - how can it not be any clearer than that ?

because, although MTG might be a nice guy in rl, he seems to tend to only see one side of most things.
