Maybe Im Selfish.... and wrong.... but....

Yeah. So maybe Im feelin real "Pro-Black" right now or something but I saw somethin that got me heated all over again about that whole "Sorry, no apology for slavery but we will propose a Confederates month" thing. It was an article in the AJC that was talkin about how survivors of the Holocaust were to split 300 million dollars. Now that aint no money to be split between approximately 48,000 people BUT they are getting something... And we cant even get an apology.... I know. I know. What would you give all these black people who helped build the nation? How could you possibly begin to repay for the years of free labor that laid the foundation for many of the initial states? I would suggest starting very modestly with half. Yes... half of everything would be a great way to start. I know Im being generous but like I said, that would be a good starting point to grow from. But we have to atleast get half. Do you know why? Because this, in reality, is a nasty divorce and black america is the man who done worked to establish this family and now is being forced to pay child support, give up the house, the car and the kids and then, on top of all that, pay alimony. This is us. Cant get respect for the past and forced to survive with a semi-aborted and programmed future where more than half is already gone to our wife (read: everybody but us) because we got married to someone who never loved us anyway. So now most of us are tryin to keep our self esteem up in order to get a job and retire at 65. And by getting a job I mean working twice as hard to get half as much. Yes... The analogy is a stretch, but I dont know but a few black people who came up off of an inheritance - and I cant even name them right now... Maybe Im trippin though...
