...reminds me of the words of the great Frederick Douglass, one of America’s earliest black heroes, former s***e, and an advisor to President Lincoln, who said: “Everybody has asked the question … ‘What shall we do with the Negro?’ I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! … All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!”

Bottom line, the best way to help b****s is for government to get out of their lives. The first step toward a better life is to teach people how to get to a point where they can be independent. Liberals, of course, do not want African-Americans to be independent, because they are far too valuable to them as political pawns and as a source for soothing their white-guilt psychoses.

Justice Clarence Thomas tells a great story about his childhood that explains in visual terms why racial r********ns are counterproductive. He said that when he was a young boy, he often played marbles with friends. During one particular game, two of the boys got in an argument over the rules, which in turn resulted in a brawl that scattered all the marbles in every direction.

Thomas says that after order was finally restored, “We didn’t take the time to try to sort out which marbles belonged to which players. We just wanted to play, so we accepted everyone’s current marble count and continued on with the game.”

The moral is that no matter how much you may agree with Steve Hilton that racial discrimination policies of the past have indirectly hurt many people living today, trying to figure out who is entitled to how much would only succeed in slowing down the considerable progress African-Americans have been making for many decades. If institutionalized black suppression still existed in America, millions of African-Americans would not have been able to lift themselves out of poverty and into good-paying jobs and professions over the past fifty years.

Of course, some degree of r****m will always be with us, because it’s a phenomenon that is endemic to the human condition. But in 21st century America, institutionalized, or structural, r****m does not exist (other than as the likes of 'affirmative action,' notwithstanding the claims of those who desperately want to keep identity politics alive.

As the great Shelby Steele, a black activist himself during his college days, puts it, grievance protests of today focus primarily on what he refers to as “microaggressions.” In other words, the big issues are behind us.

Clearly, the best path forward for everyone, especially African-Americans, is to keep moving ahead by emphasizing behavior, character, and accomplishment, not r********ns for the sins of those who are no longer with us.

Ok
Who gets the r********ns?
How black do you have to be to get them.
R********ns for what?
No one alive was a s***e here. So how many generations back does one go?
What about white indentured workers which was a form of s***ery. Do the descendants also get r********ns?
What about b****s who came here and were not s***es but successful business men and some owned s***es as well. How do you know who gets what?
What about other discriminated against groups?
Mormons were driven off their legally owned lands by the way and there was an extermination order from the government making it legal to k**l them. How much r********n do they get?
The whole concept is stupid and only those unable to comprehend complex thoughts believe it is a good idea.

Immigrants are getting a lot of help

Obama doesn't count.
Say for instance someone like myself if I can trace my lineage back to the turn of last century that
would be a good marker.
To determine how much; you would have to determine how much the US made in todays dollars as a result of s***ery. Remember I provided a list of corps that profited from s***ery that are still around today.
