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

<<The point I reject is your implication that a race-war would ensue should blacks debate monetary reparations and that blacks should fear such a debate and avoid it because whites would kill them. That is just no circumstance any American should accept>> The fact that neither of us LIKE this dismal vision of a possible future does NOT alter the possibilities that it may happen. You are reacting to a speculation with DENIAL, due to the repulsiveness of the scenario. That is EXACTLY the fantasy of denial seen in moderate-thinking people just prior to the realization of their worst totalitarian nightmares throughout history. Perhaps then, the idea is that both YOU-as well as the black community-should acquire a healthy fear of the possibility...
