It would be outright hilarious if you all weren't so goddamn serious that you all actually insist you know what's best. It's pretty condescending, don't you think?

So what do you suggest... not discuss it at all?
Personally, I'm basing my statements on the little bit of research I've done. I can't stress enough that it's based merely on a skeptical reading of Wikipedia, the census, and a few Michael Eric Dyson books and talks, so I'm no expert... but I thought that was the spirit of the PUB DISCUSSION. Besides... I never mentioned whether I'm for or against reparations, nor what form they might take.
I don't know what to tell you. If we had more black involvement, that might be a start. Would that set things right with you?
