Hello Everyone!!!

It’s that time of the year again....yes indeed. The leaves are getting ready to turn, the Summer harvest is in, Columbus is just about to “discover” “America” and we are taking to the streets to panhandle for reparations!

Last year over 70 people in 20 states sat out on street corners with homemade signs, cups, and banners and collected and distributed hundreds of dollars in reparations.

“It was panhandling, it was performance art - and it was a political statement about the legacy of slavery and reparations for black people.”
- The Associated Press on the 2007 event


This year we are doing it again.
OCTOBER 10, 2008
Any corner you pick.
Any time you pick.

So you basically work on the assumption that every white person you see automatically has some connection to slavery? Because of their skin color. Um...

Can we deduct the trillions already given in medical care, free housing, education, foodstamps, and welfare? And since no person now alive was ever involved in slavery either as a perp or a victim, how does actually equalize anything?
