If anyone really believes that the proposed "apology" resolution being floated in the New Jersey general assembly will not be used at some point to help pave the way for reparations to all African American citizens, please contact me immediately to discuss a bridge I'm looking to sell.
From this morning's story posted on the Fox News web site:
TRENTON, N.J. — New
Jersey could become the first Northern state to
apologize for slavery under a measure due for a legislative committee hearing
this week.
"This is not too much to ask of the state of New Jersey," said Assemblyman William
Payne, sponsor of the proposal. "All that is being requested of New Jersey is to say
three simple words: 'We are sorry.'"
And:
Payne's measure is set for a hearing Thursday by
the Assembly Appropriations Committee. It hasn't received Senate consideration.
The legislative session expires Tuesday.
Huh. The Appropriations Committee. Go figure. Wonder why the yahoos who oversee all the profligate waste of taxpayer funds are the ones who are considering this resolution.
No way this could possibly lead to consideration of reparations. No, never.
As the great Lloyd Bridges said, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."
