THE REPARATIONS MOVEMENT
Or how to make Johnnie
Cochran a billionaire
You know, not too long ago
I was thinking to myself, "Boy, there just aren't enough things to divide
the races in this country," and along comes the new crusade for slavery
reparations to fill that void. It's been well over a hundred years since
slavery existed in legal form in this country. Through time and the hard
work of several civil rights pioneers, our country is finally reaching
a period in which black Americans can reach levels previously un-thought
of.
There are black business
owners, millionaire black athletes, a growing black middle class, and blacks
in prominent positions in an incoming President's administration. You may
even actually find a black person saying, "Hey, this American dream thing
isn't just a kooky, antiquated notion, it's possible." What a great time
to reopen some wounds and rehash some century old slavery issues.more
Cynical Observations...
I have never realized how
slow the week between Christmas and New Years can be news-wise. So not
much to report here other than Bill Clinton pardoning a bunch of people.
I know all Presidents do it at the end of their term, but I hate it. Why
should anyone be pardoned on the basis of who they know?
A last minute tid-bit: Washington
DC's public schools have started an advertising campaign on the city's
Metro buses. A picture of a school house with some stick figure children
dancing around with the following message: "DC Public Schools Wants You!!!
Go To Class -- It' a Blast!!!" [sic]
Of Note...
Many of you are aware that
I switched services on my newsletter. You may see an occasional advertisement
in this page.I know its irritating, but it helps to promote my column.
I can then become really famous and you all can say, I read him way back
when. I'll promise to remember you. 'til next time!
