To make us MORE conscious of superficial differences in &#8220;Post-racial America&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/ThomasSowell\/2002\/01\/04\/the_reparations_fraud\">January, 2002, Thomas Sowell<\/a> wrote this about the reparation scam;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;the demand for reparations may seem like an exercise in futility. However, seen as a source of a lasting unmet grievance, it is a stroke of genius to keep blacks separated from other Americans and an aggrieved constituency to support black &#8220;leaders&#8221; in politics, organizations and movements.<\/p>\n<p>This demand also mobilizes a certain amount of support or sympathy among whites, especially those in the media and in academia, where such support or sympathy costs nothing, and allows those who give it to relieve their own sense of guilt, while risking other people&#8217;s money &#8212; and national cohesion. Some white politicians can also benefit at little or no cost to themselves by expressing sympathy with the reparations cause or even voting for meaningless apologies for what others did centuries ago. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not to mention that people like Jesse Jackson and the other race pimps stand between government and the Black community. He&#8217;s already been heard to say that individual  reparations paid directly to the intended recipients would not benefit the Black community as much as if that same money was filtered through his grubby fingers first.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldnetdaily.com\/news\/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27109\">2002, Jesse Peterson wrote about Jesse Jackson<\/a> and his ilk;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The fading and desperate Jackson, who for over 30 years has built a lucrative career on the backs of black Americans, has paved the way for some of his &#8220;offspring&#8221; to push for reparations, a plot that if hatched will destroy the black community and divide our whole country. Among Jackson&#8217;s chief &#8220;descendants&#8221; are trial lawyer Johnnie Cochran, Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who, among others, have banded together on this unholy crusade.<\/p>\n<p>Masterfully, they have performed the two tasks on Jackson&#8217;s lifetime &#8220;To Do&#8221; list:<\/p>\n<p>   1. Indict contemporary white America for something of which it is not guilty.<br \/>\n   2. Demand money, and lots of it. <\/p>\n<p>I can almost see a single tear roll down Jackson&#8217;s cheek. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If Obama wants to be &#8220;everyone&#8217;s President&#8221; he should put anend to this farce and potentially the most divisive legislation since the &#8220;stimulus&#8221; bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard that John Conyers is back on the reparations mule.
