Obama says all blacks should get reparations.

This would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back in my opinion.

Several of the NH Cons will no doubt do their part, and give them all a bunch of BJs.

You remind me of a guy I used to work with.  he was manager of the hardware/software support group, and nearly every comment he'd make in meeting had a sexual innuendo to it.

Alabuckeye "The client wants to know what will be the process once the T1 line is in place and they can start sending us payroll and indicative information files"

Trent "Well, Alabuckeye, we will take those files and fondle them with the scripts that we have created and...."

A little "on the nose" eh?

Trent was......a piece of work.  He routinely used 'fondle' 'masturbate' and other terms in any company irrespective of who was in the room.  HR would send us to these Sexual Harassment seminars....or send emails cautioning behavior and Trent would be doing his thing and it was like "What gives".   Of course that wasn't the only issue with the company politics.

I think he said reparations are justified...and he may be right for some people.

Like who?

WHO originally owned everything in this part of N America?  Native tribes...can you just give it back?  Hell no.  IF you tried this you'd have to go back in time to find who originally owned everything FIRST in the world.  They couldn't protect it, they lost in battles and treaties, so that is just the way it is.    Former slaves got freed and a chance in life over 150 years ago.  Their descendants are better off here than anywhere on the plant.

Whom?
Blacks only?  
And why?

[lrrps21]

I'm for it. Solely because I want to be back on here telling folks 'I told you so'.

Here's who would benefit from reparations to coloreds.

Local drug dealers, local grocery stores selling cigarettes, beer, and lottery tickets, democrat party grifters, black owned beauty & nail salons, and Popeye's restaurants.

I want coloreds to get reparations. If what Ozero claims is the reason, so should the Irish, Italians, and Chinese. Midgets are SOL.

Obama wants to do for America what Mandela did for South Africa.

Exactly. If you give it back to the Indians then make them give it back to the original tribe. They displaced each other over time as well. It's a ridiculous notion that has no end. The majority of non black citizens came here after slavery and lived in areas that weren't under Jim Crow. What do they owe? 
The fact is despite the reprehensible treatment of blacks as slaves and second class citizens in the past current black Americans are quite fortunate to be here. Aside from Stevie Wonder no one is looking to go back to Africa any more than other races are looking to go anywhere. Why? Because they won the lottery and benefit tremendously from being here whether their ancestors were abused or not. Reparations are as ridiculous as making the descendants of a criminal repay the descendants of a victim. More ridiculous actually.

Yep. 

[Blinky]

Better yet.

There were government policies, like red line laws, that prevented blacks from getting home loans in specific areas. Home/property ownership is one of the primary ways that wealth is accumulated. I could see a case being made that government discrimination of that sort has a dollar amount tied to it.  It may be a small # if blacks, but policies like that, if tried in court,  most likely would have  compensatory damages awarded

Although that claim was dubious at best, it was addressed by giving home loans to blacks with questionable credit.  The result I think was called the Great Crash of 2008.
