As I have said, it is one of ideals, law and our government system. You are correct that liberals have misinterpreted law and aim to continue doing so. But their misinterpretations came about as a result of their legitimate use of our system of government. Because of that system we are free, like they are, to petition government for better interpretations of law. It is un-American to accept that those who petition as we do will lose their lives merely because they petition. We are not God and have no right to infringe upon the natural right of others to life and liberty to express their wishes, however abominable those wishes may be. If liberal whites can champion the slaughter of children and no one threatens the lives of all whites, then surely liberal blacks can champion monetary reparations while no one threaten the lives of blacks such as Thomas Sowell. That is the friggin’ point. You keep claiming Sowell should be scared as HELL when the fact is, he is just as American as you are. If he in fact should indeed be scared as HELL, then the truth is, he is not as American as you are and this country’s ideals are a sham. Moreover, if this is true then liberal blacks who press for reparations are exactly correct to do it because if Sowell cannot ever be a free American, then no dang black can. As long as we are in the American civilization we must act like dang Americans, else we all lose. Whites cannot possibly win via an onslaught of blacks. The groups are already too closely linked for such a thing to take place, and that will be ever more true in a mere two decades. No dang American has the right to take the life of any American who legitimately works in our civilization. If we do not wish to be part of this civilization we might choose to leave it altogether, but threatening the lives of others merely for advancing their ideas in the American marketplace of ideas is not only un-American, it is every bit as savage as the worst of savages.
