NFL Star Says Democrats should pay reparations

I wonder why I can't find this clip of yesterday's Congressional testimony on CNN or NBC or any other mainstream outlets?  Oh, wait; we all know, don't we.  I've never understood why the Democrat party wasn't charged under the RICO statutes ... or minimally a class action suit on behalf of the descendants...

"Let's point to the party that was part of slavery, KKK, Jim Crow, that has killed over 40 percent of our black babies, 20 million of them," Owens said. "State of California: 75 percent of our black boys can't pass a standard reading and writing test. A Democratic state. So yes, let's pay restitution. How about a Democratic Party pay for all the misery brought to my race and those—after we learn our history—who decide to stay there, they should pay also."

Owens continued, “And every white American, Republican or Democrat, who feels guilty because of the color of their skin, you can pony up also. Then we can get past reparations and recognize this country has given us greatness.”

did the racist dems not change parties after johnson passed the civil rights thing? i just wanted to be clear on that. repubs like to bring that up but it is just not true. there might have been a holdover or two but not many.. as for restitution i am a bleeding lib an i am against it. we have native americans that were done terribly as well as irish and some chineese as well. who deserves priority? how do we do it?  we could never pay every man woman and child. how could we even do this? this is a sticky subject because if you do not like it you come off as racist. to me a start would be coming down hard on racists.what about marin luther kings holiday?did some states such as alabama not take the holiday and call it robert e lee's holiday? i was told this years ago but never tried to confirm it. but to me if the lee thing is true honoring king on his day instead of lee like so many do would be a start. anyway someone jump in here as i would love to hear more peoples thoughts on it.

George Wallace says hi....

reparations are going to come and not as everyone wants and hopes. It will be in general terms, like set asides and affirmative action. 

How do you even determine the genealogies etc?

and by the way wallace dropped his racist crap after he got shot. he even publicly apologized best i remember. i talked to him at convention hall in gadsden and he was a broken man,  he was completely changed but the damage to him and others had already been done.

Holcey had a shortlived book out at one time that just made fun of Wallace. Dallas and Holcey "just rolled their eyes" when asked if Wallace hated anyone...
