Always wanting something for nothing!

CHICAGO (CBS) — Senator Mark Kirk ruffled a lot of feathers with his recent plan to round up 18,000 gang members but a group of South Side pastors say they have a way for him to redeem himself: Help pass legislation to give African Americans reparation.

Rev. Anthony Williams of Freedom Community Church in Englewood says it’s something that’s long overdue.

“Jews got their reparations from the Holocaust, Japanese got their reparations from the internment. It is time for us to get our reparations,” said. Rev. Williams.

Rev. Joel Washington says they also want Kirk to fight to keep mental health facilities on the South Side open, make sure federal money gets in the right hands and hold congressional hearings on violence and to do something about the flow of guns.

“We get arms from outside the community. We don’t manufacture arms, we don’t manufacture the weapons,” said Rev. Washington.

The pastors urge Kirk and Congressman Bobby Rush to push for HR 40, a bill that would set up a study on making financial reparations to descendants of American slaves.

One of their 'unspoken' and historically buried problems is .. Sorting out the Black Slave Owners from the actual slaves!

The Black Slave Owners who incidentally owned 'White' as well as Black slaves!

" Help pass legislation to give African Americans reparation."

He wants to send gangbangers back to Africa?

Cool!

You'll notice that the Al Sharpton, J. Jackson talking points aren't even mentioned for the payout?

You know the ones .. "centuries of exploitation, discrimination, and disinvestment"?

NO-O-O .. It's for the threat of rounding up 'Thousands' of Gang Members and .. of course .. S-l-a-v-e-r-y!

Anthony Johnson

Anthony Johnson was believed to be the first Black to set foot on Virginia soil.

He was the first black indentured servant, the first free black, and the first to establish the first black community, first black landowner, first black slave owner, and the first person based on his court case to establish slavery legally in North America. One could argue that he was the founder of slavery in Virginia.

In 1651 Anthony Johnson was given 250 acres as "head rights" for purchasing five incoming white redemptioners.

By July 1651 Johnson had five indentured servants of his own. In 1864, he brought a case before Virginia courts in which he contested a suit launched by one of his indentured servants, a Negro who adopted the name of John Casor.

Johnson won the suit and retained Casor as his servant for life, who thus became the first official and true slave in America.



In 1652 John Johnson, Anthony Johnson's eldest son, purchased eleven incoming white males and females, and received 550 acres adjacent to his father.

There were a number of additional Virginia land patents representing grants to free blacks of from fifty to 550 acres for purchasing white redemptioners.

Well duh!

In case everyone missed it .. I had a two hundred year mistake in the Johnson post!
1651-1864?

There are a couple of possibilities:

He (Johnson) lived a very long time?

Or I could have fat fingers and typed it wrong?

I like the long life excuse better!

Johnson was captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and sold to Arab slave traders. He was eventually sold as a slave or indentured servant to a merchant working for the Virginia Company.

The Virginia Muster (census) of 1624 lists his name as "Antonio not given" with "a Negro" written in the notes column and records that he had arrived in Virginia in 1621 aboard the James.

I'll go for it if they pay the costs for U.S Navy participation in the anti- Slave patrol with the Brits, the costs of the Civil War after Jan. 1, 1863 until its end, the costs of military enforcement of Reconstruction, the percentage of costs of the War on Poverty spent on Blacks, affirmative action [regs., court costs, etc.], and all the other handouts they've gotten.

Reparations have already been done. Didn't these clowns get the memo? It was called Pigford.
