Black Community Leaders Points to NFL Millionaires to Prove Slavery Reparations Idea is 'Fools Gold'
[Daily Caller] Woodson Center founder and president Bob Woodson criticized the concept of slavery reparations, calling it "fools gold" that will do nothing to help the black community in the long run.
Hear, hear!
During a Friday night appearance on Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Woodson bolstered his point by bringing up an uncomfortable fact about once-rich NFL players, that the vast majority are broke within three years after ending their football careers.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson began the segment by pointing to several Democratic presidential candidates this Spring falling over themselves to pander to Al Sharpton at his National Action Network (NAN) conference.
If they don’t bring home the bacon, why would anyone pay any attention?

#1 I'm all for reparations, but conditionally:
1. The checks are to be distributed only in ancestral homelands; and
2. Renunciation of U.S. Citizenship is a binding part of the endorsement.

#2 Any statement from the Irish community on getting in on any of this proposed reparations loot?

#6 Funny how this tends to come up around election time as politicians have one more freebie to dangle in front of voters.
