Say They Owe You What?
@Joyce E. Clayton

 I hope you all read "Reparations? You Betcha! ... They Owe Us Big Time!" by Carol of Carol on theWeb.  I also hope you'll offer rebuttals to this masterpiece of hers (yeah right), as if it rubbed you in as much the wrong way as it did me, you certainly have much to say in response.
Who the hell does this female think she is, huh? Here she is, obviously, a redneck, if you will, who has the bold audacity to chide the Jews, Blacks and homosexuals of America for being America's downfall. Oh, and to top it off, she goes on to accredit her Anglo counterparts for building America into the fine "Christian" country that it is.  WTF??? No she didn't say the *C-word*.  If it's one thing I'm damn sick and tired of are people who parade around clucking about their Christianity when they couldn't be farther removed from anything in the least bit remotely resembling Christlikeness.  This broad goes on to say that Jews, Blacks and homosexuals are all AntiChrists. DAYUUUUM ... and *she's* not? Just read her verbose article on this subject and I think you'll understand what I'm talking about.
She mentions the "good times" during which when *they* would grace bars, many would walk there, but at the end of the evening would be either too drunk or just plain *trifling* to walk back home, so they would steal other people's trucks and leave them parked further up the hill.  What's so damn spine-tingling about that information is that somewhere in her statement, she's actually convinced that she's actually convinced the rest of us that the stealing equates to little more than simply "borrowing".  Yeah, uh huh.  I know all about how White folk are masters of reducing their crimes to mere personality flaws.  Their lies are white, thus not bad.  Their stealing is borrowing, thus not bad.  Their bigotry is steering away from anyone perceived to be AntiChrist.  Their slavery in America was putting otherwise useless people to work to help build a country better than from where they originated.  Need I continue? Hopefully not, because if I do, it will get real ugly up in heah!
Look guys.  Enough is enough.  Isn't anybody besides "moi" ready to take a time-out from even pretending to believe the hype about who's responsible for what in America and generally speaking, abroad? Aren't you all about ready to puke at the next earshot about how anyone and everyone who has ever been mistreated by Anglos are self-victimizing via the mere mention of those wrongdoings? Let Anglos tell it, anyone other than they should be mighty damn grateful to be allowed to dwell in their midst, because after all, "they've" set all the standards and everyone else is at their mercy should they think outside their little box.
It's not a thin line between lies and truths.  I believe that everyone knows the same truths and recognize the lies that clothe them.  The persisting theme is "fear"; fear that if the truths are told and accepted on a common front, those whose time has come to be rightfully dethroned will become the rightful victims of their own misdeeds.  But honestly, how many of us Black folk are really seeking revenge rather than right? Even those of us who might have at one time or another acted vengefully towards those whom we feel have mistreated our people, have been on a mission to have others do the right thing by us, but just in the wrong way.  So, on the whole, no one needs to fear us with regard to our inflicting wrath upon them .  We're a people who truly believe that the wrath belongs to the Creator, and we know that the Creator is not aka White people.  We know that *they* are not solely responsible for building America or even making us the people that we are.  Sure, they used us in the process of building this country, as well as they used us in the process of elevating themselves to the height of being those who set the standard.   AntiChrists do accomplish their missions, after all.
By stripping us of our heritage, exteriorally, they've made it appear that we're a people lost.  But the blood always remembers what the grey matter thinks and leads us to believe doesn't exist.  We are not what others tell us we are.  And, to accept this absurd theory that we're the AntiChrist because most of us have the intelligence to figure out that we've been placed between the cracks and said to have fallen there, but will no longer be pinned down, is another slavery-like disaster just waiting to happen.  The better off the world will be, the sooner we all begin to speak up against the likes of the Carols-On-The-Web, who make like they ever really thought they were America's Cream of the Crop, but who know in all honesty that they're the real social misfits.
I implore Jews, Blacks and homosexuals to take a firm stand against being disrespected in this way by the devil's minion.  How dare this she-devil of a *bleep!* even utter the names of our great leaders, no matter their ethnicity, to chide their human shortcomings that would never match the immorality of the average "Red Zone" dweller? She states that she's pissed.  Well, rest assured in Heaven, Earth or Hell, I'm more pissed than she can fathom herself being.  She calls this "her" America.  Like hell it is.  As long as she has an iota of Anglo blood running through her veins, the closest thing to belonging to her is England, and England didn't want her foreparents, which is why *we're* stuck with her people  this very day.
So, to make what can very easily be a long story, short, Carol, if you're listening (or should I say, "reading") I say to you, the only thing that anybody owes you big time is a swift kick in your Red Zone-dwelling, Anglo yadihoo-hoo, which may or may not cause some sense to register in that Red Zone-dwelling Anglo-thinking brain of yours.  Of course, if most are like me, they'll just settle for the righteousness of Reparations, which you'd better pray in the Christian way, is all that we endeavor to attain.
And ... Amen, Amen, Amen, I say to that!
