WENT SOMEPLACE HE SHOULDN'T HAVE GO'ED
NOW HE'S JUST A MEAL FOR THE ANTS
SURE LIFES' GOT SOME CANS BUT A LOT OF CAN'TS
been hearing a lot about
REPARATIONS
on the news today
reparations-the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wronged.
retribution=punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act.
so here's the deal
some people came to america
they had guns so they took a lot of land from the
people who were here
they wanted to make a lot of money so they started big farms
they had to have people work the farms
the people who were here already died when they were forced to work
so the farmers went to africa to buy people to work the farms
there were africans in africa who would capture people and sell them
all the people who were sold to the slave traders were caught by africans
the africans who were brought to america to work on the big farms called
plantations eventually got freed from the slavery but they were still poor and
could not buy much property
now there are people who think that these poor african descendants of slaves
should be compensated for being subjected to prejudice which kept them
in poverty....except Jay Zee and Beyond-Say who are pretty rich
so the deal is this
if you give poor people money they may blow it all on stupid investments
give poor people 50 year no interest loans to buy and own property
then they have "EQUITY" the golden word
with equity you can borrow money and if a person inherits a home they can
save money because they don't pay for someone else property
but don't just provide loans to africans as that would not be fair
let anyone who has a small amount of resources get a real cheap
long loan
as has been recently pointed out the largest lynching was in New Orleans
over a hundred years ago
they lynched eleven Sicilians
people hated Sicilians
also the Chinese were hated and not allowed to live just anywhere
also the Polish, the Germans, the Cajuns,
at one time or another there was prejudice against everyone
but the reparations seems like a thinly veiled retribution to me
now it seems to me that some people don't really want a cabin a "black horse" and
forty acres some people are plenty happy with an apartment
or a motor home
and a decent place to park it for half a year or so...
the reparations argument is
" nonsense upon stilts"
and
somewhere "between absurdity and obscenity"
"To dwell on the past is to rob the present.
But to forget the past is to rob the future." Chinese Proverb
