sure, not only that, but in medieval europe, the serfs were essentially slaves, and you have the caste system, and really, we are all slaves to the government, we have no real say in what gets taken from us, sure we can vote different talking heads to sit at the appropriate desks, but the machinery is the same, taxation, minimal representation, and diminishing returns on the dollars invested in social security, and the tax base in general - <br />intellectual discourse and politics are typically oxymoronic in nature, best to just nod and say <br /><br />yeah huh!

The Anger here while yes is being directed at a particular race.
tlands, and to a lesser degree plywoody thought or misunderstood that it was anger towards a particular race. When actually it was anger towards the Foster's and any who think like them.

Unfortunately these days the cry of racism is often used as a tool to rally and divert attention. The concept of free money is appealing to most anyone, plus in today's politically correct world it forces people to be for it, or a possible racist. I got a big kick when listening to one of the local "Reverends" discussing the subject on a call in radio station, one caller said that he would love to see reparations be paid - he was a full blooded Cherokee Indian ( oops - I mean Native American) and he said that would just about cover the reverend's land rental for the last 225 years....

I have to question this entire legal arguement. Essence magazine told them to do it, so they did. I haven't seen any hate crime defenses utilizing "white power magazine told me to do it." If it was a statement against the government why did they spend the money? <br /><br />The daughters defense was that her father had power over her actions. You mean like a slaveowner? Scratching out a living in her new Mercedes, I hope she drove it to court so it could be easily repo'd!<br /><br />This defense is racism, reverse racism if there is such a thing. Actually this is theft shrowded in racism and hoping to play on white guilt. If you find an actual slave-send them a check. All others must work for a living. <br /><br />The sins of the father cannot be visited upon the son. This case has less to do with racism than good old fashion greed, selfishness, and fraud. Crooks go to jail and that is where they are!!
