Default Fact or fiction: Reparations

We will see reparations to Blacks for slavery under an Obama presidency? Fact or fiction? I say fact. Within the first 2 years.

Of course he will try to get them through. He's a black man!

Actually, I'll say fiction, since Obama has always opposed reparations. When he ran for Senate against the darling of many on the Right, Keyes, Keyes favored reparations, while Obama opposed them

Don't worry though, I'm sure you will be able to find plenty of other things to hate about him!

Yet another reason to fear the scary black man running for president. This is exactly why white people should have prevented blacks from voting in the first place. Now everyone has an opinion.

Fortunately, we know that Obama will only be president for a maximum of 2 years before he enters into the NBA draft. After all, all black people have mad basketball skills. Then he won't need reparations, and neither will his posse.

Wait, you have to reveal the source of your certainty. Who told you this? Was it a Top-50 GA? A Zions Bank teller? A former congressional aide?

By summer's end exUte just might push me into Obama's arms. He's probably the only one who could do it. ExUte is so icky.

to be pushed. It's icky to inquire whether reparations will be a topic of discussion and possible legislation. My, you are one sensitive Northwesterner! Seattle is starting to rub off on you. Grow some hair.

about being pushed into Obama's arms, you were talking figuratively. Right? Never know about the Seattlites.
