This is retarded

RALEIGH, N.C. - A state-appointed commission is urging North Carolina to provide reparations for the 1898 racial violence that sparked an exodus of more than 2,000 black residents from Wilmington.

The 500-page report that was produced after six years of study also said the violence, which killed as many as 60 people, was not a spontaneous riot but rather the nation's only recorded coup d'etat.

"There is no amount of money that can repair what happened years ago and compensate for the loss of lives and the loss of property," said vice chairman Irving Joyner, a professor at N.C. Central School of Law.

The commission did not provide any cost estimates, although compensation advocate Larry Thomas of Chapel Hill estimated that the economic losses calculated today are "probably in the billions of dollars."

Along with compensation to victims' descendants, the commission also recommended incentives for minority small businesses and help for minority home ownership. It also recommended that the history of the incident be taught in public schools.

Look, this whole idea of reparations is fucking ridiculous. There are any number of ethnicities that suffered injustice in the past - but we got over it, and it didn't affect us in any case. Why the hell should "descendents" get a fucking dime? They didn't suffer. They didn't get displaced. They weren't "disadvantaged". They're just too stupid to take personal responsibility for their own economic condition. If I were lazy, and of low I.Q., I'd be poor too. That's what capitalism does.

The fact of the matter is they want something for nothing. They are too weak of character to take personal responsibility. They have to blame somebody else. Call it reverse racism if you want. They don't want to put in the effort it takes to be successful and they actually have the gall to think that because their great-great-great grandfather was mistreated, they deserve money?

It's greed.. pure and simple. Don't give them a fucking dime.
