Minds need to be repaired!

Ok, the crazy is definitely coming out...proving that reparations is still needed.

As I've said, reparations is more about repairing peoples' minds - so that we can think clearly and rationally.  There is nothing rational about this:



Here's the original report:


But upon further investigation, we learn that it was all a hoax

A HOAX!!!  What?

The report states that Ms. Todd told multiple stories.  She failed a lie detector test.  And, the "B" that was carved into her face is backwards - as if done while looking in a mirror.  They charged Ms. Todd with filing a false police report.  They should also charge her with "Conspiracy to Incite a Riot," don't you think?

Minds need to be repaired! 

You mean to tell me that this girl bludgeoned herself and mutilated her own face?  That's crazy!  And, she did it in order to fuel racial tensions.  She blamed the stereotypical "Big Black Man."  That's why Ashley Todd should be charged with "Conspiracy to Incite a Riot."  Do you remember Emmitt Till?

This is what he looked like before he was accused of whistling at a White woman:

This is what he looked like after being accused of whistling at her:

If this was the result of a Black man being accused of whistling at a White woman, what do we think would happen to a Black man accused of attacking & mutilating a White woman?

Ashley Todd's actions were reckless.  And, to go to such lengths over the election only demonstrates the climate.  No - to be against Obama is not necessarily racist.  But, to frame a Black Man as Ashley Todd did is explicitly racist.  And, such lengths imply that minds need to be repaired.

We have work to do.  Come and Get Your Reparations!

Proof that Reparations is STILL Needed...

At times, you'll hear people arguing against reparations.  They'll say: Reparations aren't needed...this stuff happened so long ago.  Why can't you people just get over it?

Well, here's a retort: "why can't you people just get over it?!"  It seems as if there's still need for repair on both sides of the color line.  Did you see this:


Obama Effigy Hung From Noose

It seems to me that reparations is still needed.  Minds still need to be changed.  Christianity is supposed to be a religion of love.  Yet, still our beloved faith is perverted by those who would use it as a bludgeon to oppress others.  Christ calls us to be reconciled, one to another in love.  Yet, this gentleman spews his hate.  As Dennis Brown said: "Love and Hate Can Never be Friends"


Dennis Brown 'Here I Come'

Here folks, is your proof that reparations is still needed.  All we need is to look at the anger and hatred that is being uncovered by the prospect of a "Black President."  Just like an unhealed wound, Obama's candidacy is the curious child picking at a scab...the wound now throbs with pain.

If we are to truly see CHANGE in America, we must begin "Taking Steps Towards Reparations."  If we do, we will reap beautiful fruits.  Let's get to work - for the sake of our Country.

Come and Get Your Reparations!
