REPARATION

Reparation=The making of amends for wrong or injury done: reparation for an injustice! Rev. King mention in his "I have a dream speech" that one of the purposes for the walk on Washington was to return a check that had came back marked insufficient funds. This check was written by the Fore Fathers of this country when they drafted and signed "The Declaration Of Independence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Declaration of Independence as originally written by Thomas Jefferson, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

The mention of 40 acres and a mule was a solution that Gen.Sherman offered up to the Freeman in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida. After living on the land for several years pres. Pres. Lincoln predecessor Johnson re verse that decision and told the blacks to reconcile with their white masters! You can read this for your self at:: http://www.federationsoutherncoop.com/landloss.htm

I am not advocating hand outs, I am simply stating the cold hard facts, you should not be able to profit from 400 years of free labor! It's time to pay up! All other races have been compensated for their unjust treatment in America except Black people,why?

I hope President Obama has the Audacity to address this issue while in office within his first year. You can't legislate hate , racism or bigotry but you can set things right for all those slaves and their off spring. The last thing I would like to add is this, I am a black male born and raised in South Carolina, the south has a bad record of hate and committing hate crimes and oppressing black folks I never experience a lot of it my self.

My Grand Father, Grand Mother, Mother and Father did and the fact that they did is sickening. The Creator of Heaven and Earth created them and caused them to be. They had no choice as to what their skin color was going to be! The point is this, you have a problem with the Creator (God Jehovah) Psalms 83:18 not the creation (human beings). Why are you such cowards? What are you afraid of? You are not superior but inferior! Is that why you harass and insult people for reasons that they have no control?
