The endgame for reparations

With this in mind, we needn't worry about reparations ever actually coming about.  Its only real use is as a piƱata on which to take out our frustrations when we lose patience with leftist phoniness, insincerity, and destructiveness. Richard Jack Rail
American Thinker  . . . "Apart from the complexities of determining who might get reparations and who should pay, we never hear about the endgame.  Are reparations supposed to resolve black America's complaints?  Or will black America simply turn up the demands, saying that $500B isn't enough?  How much would be enough? One hundred trillion dollars in doubloons? a googolplex of gold rands? all of America west of the Mississippi?
"If that part ever gets sorted out, perhaps we could then talk about black behavior.  There are the endless shootings and murders in the ghetto.  There are the victims of "the knockout game" and muggings in the streets.  There are the large groups of blacks who go into restaurants, eat a huge meal, and then strut out without paying, usually disrupting other diners and wreaking destruction on the way out.
"It's highly doubtful that reparations will ever be paid or that black behavior will ever be discussed at policy levels.  It's all about Democrats having a club to beat America over the head with, to keep decent America on the defensive, to keep Republicans in the corner where they don't know how to respond.  Republicans were innocent of imposing slavery or Jim Crow, both of which were as Democrat as the KKK." . . .

Rev Lloyd Marcus
Uh-oh! The 'reparations study commission' dodge of Dem presidential contenders is in peril  "A Democrat running for president is calling for actual money — a lot of it — to be spent on "reparations for slavery," breaking the informal understanding to relegate the idea to a study commission.  Because ultra-high black turnout and support are essential to any Democrat presidential candidate, nobody can afford to dismiss the idea of "reparations" as a ridiculous, problem-ridden proposal.  Lots of blacks, and some whites and other races, support the idea, but overall:" . . .

The riots and the "knock-out games" have sadly overwhelmed any discussion of deserving African-Americans like the father Of Lloyd Marcus.
