You have been holding forth on matters about which you know and understand absolutely NOTHING.

And this is certainly no friggin' argument, Kenneth.

The danger to the black community is not "starting to debate reparations". You can debate a flat Earth if you want. If they waste their time on that, they will only accomplish being ignored.

Well this is certainly what you have claimed is the danger to them:

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.

If this is true, then the problem here is simply not with blacks, but with those who would literally seek to kill them. Blacks should be at least as free to debate reparations as whites are free to debate and even succeed at getting legal support and public funding for the literal slaughter of innocent unborn human beings. That Americans will not extend even this basic freedom to blacks here, but will extend it to those who would champion the murder of humans, suggests America is friggin' sick sick sick. That you cannot readily see this perhaps suggests something just as awful.

The danger is DEMANDING reparations, in that fanatical, obsessive, Leninist manner that the anti-American left engages in all discussions. The black community will damage itself beyond any hope with such a folly.

People can demand whatever they friggin' wish. That is an American right, to protest, picket, petition government and express grievances. As long as they do not use force to get their way, but use law and legitimate procedure, they are within their rights. Whine about Marxism all you friggin' wish, but the fact is, this is dang America, pal.

And if they were to appear to prevail, the reaction would most likely be violent, and destroy them and their left wing allies.

Then those who would be so barbarous are wrong and anti-American. And I have enough faith in our country that it would not stand idle while hordes of angry whites slaughter millions of innocent blacks simply because those blacks successfully participated in our government. If our government will not do this, then the nation is finished.

Your incredible hutzpah is that it would destroy America. It would not, and that's the simple reality. But it would so damage the black community that it would take them centuries even to begin to recover. So they should listen to YOU?

I don't give a friggin' rip if they listen to me or not, Ken. That ain't the dang point. The point is, no dang body is gonna get away with murdering folks merely because they legitimately exercised their American right! If you are against reparations then get with the friggin' program like an American should. But if the dang blacks should look like they are winning the debate, you or no dang body else will be right if you should resort to savagery against them. So, as far as I am concerned, the reparations debate here is not the issue. I am already settled that the idea is flawed. But there is no dang excuse for holding the threat of murder over any dang body. If the threat exists, as you friggin' claim, then that is a problem FAR greater than any friggin' reparations.
