The Fake Native American Now Wants Reparations for Slavery

[SteyrAUG]

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday she supports reparations for black Americans affected by slavery, The New York Times reports.

Actually I agree. If she can find any Americans who have suffered slavery, they are due reparations, to be paid by those who enslaved them.

But having a great, great granpappy doesn't mean anyone born in the 20th century is due anything. Otherwise we have to redress all historical grievances, for example Romans fed christians to lions, so Italy owes me free pizza.

You know why the word "Irish" was coined?

Because "belligerant drunk" was too long to say every time.

I have Jewish lineage on my paternal grandmother’s side so I guess those Egyptians owe me a ton of money for hundreds of years of slavery. And since both sides of my family immigrated here in the early 20th century I should get a tax credit for never owning slaves in the United States.

Now you are on to something.

As a First People, I cherish white folks. They brought over cool stuff and if I was there in the early days; I might have a different opinion but in present day white people have made America a pretty good place.

I don’t know why black people can’t get over it. I actually can trace my lineage to a massacre and I don’t have a problem.

Just don’t call me Mexican or Samoan. All I ask, yo.

I had a talk with a local native American artist one day. He had a booth selling some of his wares at a mall on this particular occasion.

We got into a conversation as to whether the White Man was hated by his people because of broken treaties and whatnot.

His reply was that the White Man never broke a treaty with his tribe. He also volunteered that his people loved the White Man because "they saved us from the Apaches."

People forget that Native American tribes were preying on each other long before the European settlers arrived.

This guy was grateful that his people were able to escape the gradual attrition being inflicted on them by the more hostile groups.

I could make a stronger argument we charge successful, productive African Americans an extra 10% in income tax as a reverse reparations payment for their fellow African Americans’ disproportionate use of ambulance services, police services, jail and prison use, SSDI/disability, Medicaid, welfare, section 8, EBT, and driving while uninsured. Then an extra 5% on top of that if their SAT, MCAT, GRE, LSAT, etc. scores were a sd below the mean where they got their degree.

If we are going to start assigning debt by race, let’s use some objective, measurable financial impact data.

Alternatively, if those DNA studies are accurate enough to estimate majority country of origin, we could start comparing per capita standards of living here vs there, and calculate some sort of negative reparations ratio. Or perhaps we could use some other objective indice such as average life span. If, say, the average life span of your most likely country of origin is 20 years less than in the USA, we can split the difference and you have to cough up ten years of your annual salary.

It’s a two way street.

There is a back-up plan to circumvent that.
