Reparations Mean Not Drinking the Kool-Aid (or the Malt Liquor)

Kudos to Jack and Jill Politics for posting this.

Personally, I have never agreed with the sentiment the Bill Clinton is the so-called first Black President. Why? Because he cheated on his wife? Because he smoked marijuana and lied about it? Because he plays the saxophone? Because as Andrew Young said (I love you brother - but you wrong), Bill has "slept with more Black women than Obama?" Maybe it's because he gentrified Harlem?

Crazy: Reparations means not drinking the kool-aid and believing the hype. Reparations means not looking to White folk for an example of Blackness. Are the only positive Black folks White? Reparations means debunking the madness. But, I give you the words of my other brother - Dick Gregory...maybe he can put this in perspective for us. He's got his reparations.

Got Yours?



Get Your Reparations!
