The cost of a reparations debate will be the emergence of a new racism aimed at blacks, and, most likely, a race war, which the blacks will lose, by a very wide margin.
This is old, conventional thought and it is just such thought that signals the end of the American Empire. Americans are not supple enough in mind to address the reality of our times. Notions such as "race wars" against blacks where blacks "lose" and whites "win" are foolishness and even five years from now it will be even more apparent how foolish such notions are.
The minute we turn against blacks, we signal to the world, to Indians, Asians, Hispanics, Whites, Blacks and a host of others, that we are the enemy. And all our weaponry will be worthless because we'd have to kill ourselves to get anything done.
Either we are Americans or not, and if not then it is just over. Better to work for real reparations than persist in an "us against them" nation while our enemies infiltrate us with bombs and bioweapons. America is just begging to be destroyed. |
