So a friend's wife had her DNA tested. Sure enough, as family stories always maintained, she is 2% African American. She said she will settle for a coupon for a free egg mcmuffin at McDonald's, but nothing less as her share of reparations. Seems fair to me. | ||

I’m 50% Irish and my ancestors weren’t greeted with a red carpet. Where’s my free reparations?  | |||

Brings us back to a question I asked here long ago. It was if there are DNA differences between black and white (and also hispanic and asians). Seems like it could narrow crime suspecs significantly. Maybe not since the media refuses to announce that police are looking for a black suspect because that might be racist. But you do know that if an inner city black murder victim is shot, the shooter is probably black, too. Its just not PC to make that public even if 100 witness' all stated the culprit was a 20s black male. Maybe its just a waste of time to say it because most likely who the shooter, knifer or whatever almost always is. Maybe I'm off base here because a few of them are white. There seems to be no reluctance to say police are looking for a white male. The media won't say they're looking for a black male. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

Tell her to fix me a sammmich. Just because you have African American DNA doesn't mean you are a descendent of slavery. | |||

That's sexist, not racist. On the reparations issue... the total damages they suffered should be reduced by the travel expenses to get them here, and also by welfare and such we've suffered over the years. Has anyone ever figured out how to divvy up the largess between the victims? Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

In one weekend, I sat in front of the TV and watched Daytona, Monaco, and Indianapolis, but no other sports. Does that make me racist? | |||

That ought to be good for a big potato or a couple of small ones and at least a half of a bottle of Jameson. With my Irish ancestry,I'd want the whole bottle,a bag of potatoes and maybe even a new shovel. -------------------------------------------- You can't have no idea how little I care. | |||

My girlfriend is 1/512 Cherokee, got a card from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and everything. This entitles me to make jokes about Indians, because even though I don't have any native in me, I've been in some native.

My grandparents came from Poland and Lithuania and the men went into the NE Pennsylvania coal mines at early age and were forced to load 15 tons of number 9 coal each day and suffered from "Black Lung" and had to live in company houses and buy overpriced goods at the company store and were not unionized and had to learn to speak English, etc...... So....where in the hell is MY MONEY. BTW, is "Black Lung" racist? ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Let me know when you find someone who was actually a slave. I'll pay. Wait... I didn't own any slaves. Nevermind. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Well, to tell a family secret, my grandmother was Dutch. | |||

When my great grandfather and family left Sicily, they first lived in Tunisia for a time. So I'm part Temporarily North African-American. (I used to really rile a guy up at work by telling him I was more African than he was since my ancestors lived in Africa about 100 years more recently than his had.)  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Half my ancestors were female. I want reparations for thousands of years of misogyny. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

That's worth a coupon for free fries (small) from McDonalds. Seems reasonable to me. | |||
