$819 Billion Stimulus Bill Is Actually "Reparations for Slavery"
Nice try Mr. “first-black President.” I know they don’t call you Lincoln-esque for nothing. Abraham Lincoln, after the end of the Civil War, declared that all slaves will receive “40-acres and a mule.” Nowadays, I would imagine “40-acres” to be equivalent to a government-owned 800 sq/ft apartment, and “a mule” to be a Ford Mustang. Unfortunately, being that many black people already have both of these, a suitable replacement has already been created. An $819 Billion “Stimulus” Package is actually a disguise for an $819 Billion “Reparations” Package!
With 34,996,643 black people living in the United States, that equals to about $23,000 per person. That’s $23,000 CASH-MONEY. Enough to either lift them out of poverty by providing them with enough capital to start their own business and go to college OR to spend it on really REALLY expensive shoes, jewelry and RIMMMMS!!!
(RIMS: Being poor and uneducated never looked so good!)
But don’t take it from me. The lower-middle class white Republicans @ the Red Stick Republican’s Rantings blog sum it up in the clearly veiled classism/subconscious racism that we have come to expect from lower-middle class white Republicans, “We are encouraging citizens to no longer appreciate the moral capacity to understand hard work and sacrifice…and encouraging welfare.” I believe it’s called the “Red Stick Republican’s” blog because, on weekends, he sets aflame two intersecting sticks in front of the lawn of an interracial couple and basks in the red glow of the racist flame.

But don’t take it from me (I’m just a hobo for Christ’s, the king of all hobos, sake). Take it from Conservatives themselves, who would ‘never’ change their “core” issues depending on how damaging it could be to the opposition. For instance, Welfare, which used to be a major issue that propelled the Republican party to popularity in the late 80’s, is just as big of an issue today as it was 20 years ago. But when the Democrats suddenly decided to reduce Welfare dependence and end poverty with such programs as “Welfare to Work,” the Republicans realized that they were far too dependent on this once divisive issue between Right and Left. Some even decided to rally against such programs for fear that and end to the Welfare system and black-poverty might endanger their political careers. Due to the Democrats’ commitment to Welfare reform programs, most of which expired in 2004, talk of Welfare as the biggest threat to our nation is restricted to hillbillies aged 65 and over who still think Clinton is President.
Why? Not because the problem was ever really solved, or that Welfare ever was a real problem in the first place (the Welfare program has cost under 1% of the national budget since it’s inception), or that Ronald Reagan handed out cigarettes to children. No…welfare was a divisive issue because it was a divisive issue rooted in philosophical differences including: fairness and equality of the Left; and the work and responsibility on the Right. It never mattered whether it actually aided in either of these ideals. It only mattered that it could turn out votes and distract us from real, greater social injustices. Like reality T.V.
Nothing says "Christmas" quite like Ronald Reagan sending you a carton of unfiltered cigarettes!

@Static – I cover her with Baconaise. It’s the tastiest of all edible lubricans.
It is contradictory that the middle class fight so vehemently to protect the upper class. I think it’s because the middle class have a desire to be part of the upper class. They rely on a false belief that rich people DESERVE to be rich and necessarily EARNED their millions and millions of dollars. How does one person “EARN” 60 BILLION DOLLARS? Such absurd amounts of wealth are the result of the exploitation of the “pyramid-scheme” capitalism.
You see, Capitalism refers to “capital”, i.e., money used as an investment for future gains. Necessarily, wealthy people will retain their wealth because they are the only ones with the “capital” to invest. The only way average folks can acquire such wealth is by convincing the wealthy themselves to lend.
Iv’e always wondered how the Republican party became the party of the middle class while simultaneously screwing them out of jobs and opportunities. Just to be fair, I’m sure there are multitudes more white welfare recipients than black. Ever been to Oklahoma? Apparently, all it takes to snow us under is God and guns.
How did you fit..Nancy..up there???
Boy, do I LOVE prescription drugs. In my ass. AND Nancy Reagan…in my ass.
Ronald Reagan may have had something to do with handing out cigarettes to minors, but it is certain that Nancy Reagan handed out prescription drugs and crack cocaine to children.
DOUBLE POST..DAMMIT!
