No Reparations
I was surprised to read just now that Barack Hussein Obama opposes reparations for the descendants of slaves:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposes offering reparations to the descendants of slaves, putting him at odds with some black groups and leaders.
The man with a serious chance to become the nation’s first black president argues that government should instead combat the legacy of slavery by improving schools, health care and the economy for all.
“I have said in the past — and I’ll repeat again — that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed,” the Illinois Democrat said recently.
I don’t think his opposition comes from his ineligibility for the Great Pay-Off —as he has no connection whatsoever to the African-American slave trade— but it may come from his desire to not enrage the typical white person. So good for him.
But I do think that Obama’s opposition will serve to remind Black America again that he does not share their heritage. He stands outside of our common culture and he stands against American history. Thus, I encourage him to do more to alienate himself from the people who were stupid enough to nominate him.
