“The anti-life of [Jerry Falwell] proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and truth in this country if you’ll just get yourself called Reverend. People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup.”
-Christopher Hitchens
As I recently reported elsewhere, a self-styled REVEREND with a righteous Social Justice™ ax to grind took the mic to drop some real hard troof bombs before a California’s “reparations task force” hearing:
Whitey owes the great-great-great-grandchildren of slaves $200 MILLION EACH to write the historic wrongs.
“I’ma tell you like a n**** told me
Cash rules everything around me”-Biggie Smalls, Notorious Thugs
Of course, reaching back hundreds of years in history to retroactively demand cash money for historic wrongs totally isn’t opening a pandora’s box that would virtually guarantee perpetual racial conflict.
So get your checkbook out, sign it, put “reparations” in the note, and leave the dollar box blank, bigot.
