#2 Reparations (on top of over a trillion dollars spent on Great Society programs since the '60s) are not going to change what is cultural in nature. History shows the spilling of a lot of blood does.

So, basically give them other people's money, using the Government as a LEGALIZED thief.

#9 Translation of Johnson's comments: If you stop yelling about the invaders, we'll buy you more menthol cigs, malt liquor and weed.
