I know!! People who were never slaves want reparations from people who never owned slaves. My understanding was that the freed slaves got 40 acres and a mule. Wasn't that a reparation of sorts to those who ACTUALLY WERE slaves?? Don't get me wrong, the whole notion of slavery is awful, and sickens me. But this is ridiculous!

You did it... made me look. Very interesting history lesson. There were reparations of no more than 40 acres (the mule came afterwards). However, the grants were withdrawn by a new president.

OK, say the blacks of the day were cheated (similar to the Native Americans). What should be done now? Give them a reservation? Or honor the assimilation that has occured because their 400,000 acres were stolen from them. Has not the USA already given many "reparations" to the blacks for the slavery the CSA imposed on them over the years? I say walk to your fence, call Hey neighbor, hows the family doing, and by the way your grass looks great.

Two of my neighbors were black and one Vietnamese when I lived in Portland. All very good neighbors. I cannot imagine they would abide this "sleep" thing. I'm sure the one black lady is a strong leftist but I would bet she would find the whole concept of racism based on sleep to be ludicrous.

Here's a reparation I'm willing to back. A fleet of ships is comissioned to haul all African-Americans back to Africa who still think they are owed something. USA could go in and take over 400,000 acres and boom, they got their reparations. Let the returning settlers deal with those that sold them into slavery in the first place.

It is here. We don't have cable, or anything, but we have one of those antenna things that grabs everything out of the air. We get a channel called Grit TV that shows all of those old westerns. Gunsmoke, Laramie, Death Valley Days, Big Valley with John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and many other movie marathons on weekends.
It shows up on channel 14-2 here, and if I turn on the TV that's where it goes.

Lucky you!!!

It works good. We don't have the one advertised on TV though.
We got this one at Meglo-Mart for about 20 bucks. It's just a square plastic thing that plugs into the TV, and we get 30 odd channels with it. It's all we need. And no satellite bill since there isn't cable where we live.
