Well if you concluded Cy had suggested you supported reparations, it's as stupid as a few other who totally missed your point on the essential elements that make up man.

Hardly. When the guy up and says what he has said in addition to this

Don't be surprised, when you try to pay them your reparations, if they send back the check...
Message 18432360,

it is quite reasonable to assume he thinks I support monetary reparations.

I saw CY make no barbarous point. He described an essential component that feeds racial hate. It is the ignorant pursuit of gold by divisive blame game liars, cheats and thieves. It may be allowed by the constitution, but not calling it what it is is condemning many to continued hatred and discrimination.

Fine, but our Constitution and the civilization it supports demand that we do not murder folks for lobbying in America. That is the dang point and to suggest that debating reparations is the problem and not what you call "human nature" is indeed barbarous. The system exists such that those presenting flawed proposals can be rejected without such things as murder. To then claim blacks will bring upon themselves murder because they legitimately use the system is obviously barbarous because it overlooks the dang point of the system. The system is designed to mitigate flaws in human nature. So making dang appeals to human nature here to overlook our tendency toward murder will not fly. Merely because some people have more than we have will tend to tempt us toward envy and even theft. That is human nature (it is actually contrary to our nature, but I accept your intended point for this post). Nevertheless human nature is no excuse to flaunt law, which exists to mitigate flaws in our human nature.

Carpetbaggers likely fed the hatred past and today's carpetbaggers are sewing the seeds of current and future hatred.

It is no excuse to friggin' murder the carpetbaggers if they are within the law and their natural rights. Hate them if you wish, but no dang body has a right to murder them.

To deny this is to deny human nature and the distribution of stupid thinking and ignorance that is also an element of man in a society.

Law exists to mitigate stupidity. The rest of the thing flows from there...
