Slave Restitution has placed some strange black cloud all over America. The Steamboat Amends and Slave Restitution Bill is sitting in Congress right now and growing larger by the minute due to the presidential race next year. The DNC GOP progressive dogs kept a low profile but the restitution bill was leaking like an old bucket.
Rumors have it that Barack Obama runs around the White House in his shorts slipping around and smoking and half ass'd drunk after Michelle hits the sack.
The Negro's were stirring and it had happened before and the political separating of black and white had taken place during the Obama administration. The Negro was willing to sell their past, present and future and to hell with their dignity. It was cash time.
He wavered for a moment looking at the menu as the black suited waiter waited. The tall waiter with his black vest and white shirt persisted in clicking his pen while he waited which was making Andy a little panicky. Andy knew that some famous actor owned this guys great great grandfather or something as he could just about see the guy picking cotton and eating peeled fruit. This slave history thing was getting out of hand all across America as the Negro's wanted a lot more than food stamps and a free cell phone, forget about 40 acres and a mule.

Even with a bundle of cash in his suit pants front pocket Andy was suffering that sense of poverty as the downtown restaurant was completely out of his league. Only rich people ate inside this restaurant like some underground kingdom for rich people. His shiny portable killing device was tucked into the small of his back was bothering him but his job required a pistol and at least two full clips, 9 millimeter, full metal jacket.
Andy was sure that his inexperience in a five star restaurant was showing as another server swooped in unexpectedly with iced water and a mysterious basket covered with a linen cloth, most likely fresh baked bread he was sure. It was kind of obvious that all the servers were black and all the millionaires were white as he looked out the window and watched the wet season begin with a little rain. It was just a couple of weeks ago that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama grabbed up some dinner here and surely it was taxpayer funded. Socialist bastards spent other peoples money but those steaks coming out were thick and cooked to perfection. Lazily Andy picked up his ice water and sipped a little trying to kill some more time.

The "John Craig Walker Tavern" had been in business since 1921 in New York City and was made famous by FDR carefully getting his "product" and "parcel" there which meant booze and a five dollar girl for the evening.
The period of prohibition of alcohol from 1920 to 1933 didn't slow down sales at all as real life gangsters roamed from New York City to Chicago and everywhere between running booze, girls and guns.
Those Chicago gangsters and their sharp noses and long knives didn't have anything on the modern gangs of New York. The girls still worked here in the back rooms some say but Andy didn't know much about that as they cost more than the food.
What Mrs. Roosevelt didn't know wouldn't hurt her and Al Smith, the past governor of New York assured Franklin that the old lesbian wouldn't care anyway. Franklin would enjoy a sip and a slip never having to fear discovery kind of like Bill Clinton does today. Who in their right mind would rat out Bill Clinton and his billionaire friends taking hits on high school girls? Hillary would never find out and Bill would never tell and everybody knows that Barack has the eye for expensive booze and boobs.

The designer and architect of Attica Federal Prison sat at these tables with Franklin and others while millions of dollars moved from the State Capitol of New York to the friends of Franklin mostly under the table and out of view. The citizen natives never knew the difference but a lot of bribes moved to the center of power in Washington D.C. so Franklin always had his hand out and his pockets open.
Some people say that unemployment insurance and the old age pension was thought out in one of the back dining rooms inside the John Craig Walker Tavern. The Federal Income Tax and Social Security was a great deceiver centralized government idea to take money from the working slobs and give it to lazy ass holes. Nothing has changed but the numbers. Washington D.C. is still the same old and cruel colonial plantation idea working but the delivery system has changed. The minorities are still slaves and they tend to vote for the Democrats.
By keeping Obamacare funded, food stamps and other welfare programs flowing the Negro's were kept in their place but now things are changing. The young blacks carry guns and distribute drugs and fill up the jails. They just about burnt down Baltimore and the FBI was now looking at the Mayor and State's attorney.

Jimmy Walker the corrupt Mayor of New York City, also the owner of the restaurant, often times visited the Franklin Roosevelt table and the Tammany Hall boys picked up a lot of Franklins bar and bar fly tabs. Franklin called the graft or the cash fix as a donation to the future. A lot of money moves around and the strings start in the Oval office and they reach down to Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Philadelphia and other places of brotherly love.
When the Wall Street Crash brought about the Great Depression the "Johnny Walker" as locals called it about went under but the crime families of New York needed a place and "The Johnny Walker" was the place.
The five star restaurant was the place to be seen, night or day and it took Andy three days to reserve the table for two. Andy's drink arrived and it was stinging some going down and the warmth filled him as he recovered his breath. It was the Black Gold brand and it hit his gut just about the time another server walked to his table.

Andy Ledger had been directed to meet the political activist "Mr. Hunt" from Tuskegee, Alabama at the Johnny Walker at noon on Thursday and his boss told him to pick up the tab in the pursuit of Mr. Hunt's happiness.
This guy thought the streets were paved with gold and he wanted every Negro released from jail, able to vote, carry a gun and receive cash money because of past slavery. Mr. Hunt was a progressive black radical and the main stream media was his theater. Lately he had been blooming like a hot house flower because of the riots and Barack Obama kept inviting him inside the White House.

Logan Hunt had acquired many black American advantages from the political class but he also had a story to tell to the F.B.I. and Andy Ledger was the special agent assigned to take the notes and listen to the story.
The black community was rotting and disintegrating and they were ripe for political harvesters like Mr. Hunt, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a thousand others.

Mr. Hunt was friendly with many high level politicians and he had been pushing to create a change in America, constitutionally providing compensation for Negro's as a result of past slavery.
Many past presidents of the United States had attempted several national programs to make grants and payments to the Negro's but the trillions of dollars would not be enough for Mr. Hunt as compensation for past evils.

Mr. Hunt was not talking about more welfare programs he was pushing for a cash deal that would total trillions of dollars and be payable over a ten year period.
Mr. Hunt had already received enough Democratic support in the House and Senate to have written the "Steamboat Amends and Slave Restitution Bill" and was sitting in a Congress committee at this very moment.
The F.B.I. knew a lot about Mr. Hunt and one thing for sure he was not satisfied with anything but action and he believed in deeds and not words. He seemed to be a kind and gentle man but he also played the weaker members of the African American community as suckers and was worth tens of millions of dollars.
The old hat players like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama and others were low class players and Mr. Hunt's discouragement about the first black president was well known at the New York Times, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, L.A. Times, Boston Globe and all the big networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and others.
Mr. Hunt was very willing to have another American Civil War.
He was influential and also late for lunch as Andy attempted to extend his free stay at the Johnny Walker table for two without ordering.
The clicking pen was driving him nuts.

“So you think that people who never owned slaves should be required to pay reparations to people who never were slaves.” This was a comment made by an individual in a class I taught recently in which the issue of slavery reparations was raised. Interestingly, the individual who made this comment is black and the one who proposed reparations is white. Reparations are an ill-conceived concept advocated by people who think they are owed because blacks were once enslaved in America. Those pushing for reparations are predictable: Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton are two of the most vocal advocates. In fact, Farrakhan has gone beyond the borders of the United States with his reparations road show.
Failing to gain any traction in America for slavery reparations, Louis Farrakhan took his entitlement message to the Caribbean last year. In Jamaica he demanded that the Pope endorse slavery reparations to atone for the supposed sins of the Catholic Church. “Project 2019” is a white paper that sets out the case for slavery reparations to be paid by taxing U.S. citizens (although its author admits that seeking reparations is probably a waste of time and effort that could be put to better use in other causes for black Americans).
Reparation demands will probably be with us for a while because they grow out of the entitlement mentality that has become deeply engrained in so many Americans. But demands for slavery reparations are just that: pure entitlement nonsense. In fact, they are an example of race hustling at its worse. Americans of good will are working hard to bridge the racial gap that still exists in our country and bring about a state of racial harmony; something that would benefit Americans of all races. Unfortunately, there are still a few people who view racial discord as an opportunity to be exploited—think of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton—people best viewed as race hustlers. Race hustlers continue to fan the flames of racial discord as a means to keep themselves relevant, maintain power, and fatten their wallets. The biggest fear of race hustlers is that people in America will do what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. recommended: judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. If this ever happens the days of race hustling are over.
Fearing exactly this, race hustlers have long sought a way to really pour fire on the embers of racial discord. The more progress people of good faith make in bridging the racial divide in America, the more frantic race hustlers have become in seeking a burning issue that will ensure them of more years, if not decades, of relevance and financial security. The more entrepreneurial of the race hustlers think they have hit upon just the issue: slavery reparations. As race hustles go, this one must look inviting to people who benefit from racial discord because it appeals to them on so many different levels. There are the feelings harbored by some black Americans who know their history and understandably resent aspects of it, there is the growing entitlement mentality in American society, there is white guilt, and, finally, there is the always enticing element of money.
My view is that those who captured, transported, traded, and owned slaves should have been made to pay reparations to those they enslaved 150 years or so ago when slaves and masters were still alive. Reparations assessed at that time would not have erased the blight on humanity that slavery represented, but they would have at least been an attempt at justice. Speaking of justice, this is why I disagree advocates of slavery reparations who want American citizens alive today to be taxed to pay reparations to black Americans. If the goal of reparations is justice, where is the justice in asking Americans who are living today to pay for the sins of Americans who died long ago, sins they played no part in and owing to the span of time involved could not have stopped? How can a person alive today possibly be culpable for sins committed 200 or more years ago?
Further, what about Hispanic and Asian Americans? Should they be required to pay? What about Americans of mixed racial heritage? Should they be required to pay? What about the fact that a high percentage of Americans living today trace their lineage to immigrants who came to America after the Civil War? Should they be allowed to pay? What about descendants of black people who themselves owned slaves? Should they be required to pay? What about descendants of white Americans who helped slaves escape bondage? Should they be required to pay?
To race hustlers, slavery reparations must look like a promising issue on which to hang their hats, not to mention their wallets. Their thinking probably goes something like this: If we make enough noise about this issue and stir up enough guilt, maybe pandering politicians will go along with reparations just to shut us up. But on more careful consideration, the idea of reparations is not just fraught with difficulties; it is the result of twisted logic, entitlement, and greed. Society cannot right one wrong by perpetrating another. You do not establish justice for one man by inflicting injustice on another.
Look into this issue and you will notice right away that slavery reparations advocates do not limit their expectations of payment to just the direct descendants of slave traders and slave owners. This is not because they acknowledge that even direct descendants played no role in the heinous activities of their forbearers. The descendants of slave owners and slave traders weren’t even alive in those dark days of America’s history, nor would they be for a long time. Obviously, people cannot be held responsible—legally, ethically, or morally—for things they did not do and could not prevent. But this is not why reparations advocates choose not to focus on the descendants of slave traders and slave owners. The real reason is the very essence of expedience: money. There are not enough direct descendants of slave traders and slave owners alive in America today to generate the kind of money advocates are hoping to receive. Better for the pocketbooks of race hustlers if all Americans have to pay into the proposed fund and let justice be damned.
Another important question is this: Who would administer a reparations fund? Actually, reparations advocates have already answered this question. The plan is to ask “black leaders” to administer the reparations fund and make decisions concerning how to distribute any money that would be collected. Now there’s a plan. Besides this approach being a formula certain to encourage cronyism, graft, and corruption—that much power coupled with that much money is certain to corrupt, just look at Congress—who is going to choose the black leaders to administer the fund and who is going to oversee their decisions?
Slavery was an abomination, not just to America but to humanity. I state this as a given. However, expecting reparations to be paid by people who did not live during the slavery era, have never owned slaves, and in all likelihood are not even distantly related to slave owners of the past is a bad idea; an idea that is not fair, just, or logical. In fact, the demand for slavery reparations is little more than an example of the entitlement mentality run amok and being pushed by people who are interested in receiving money they don’t deserve from people who don’t owe it to them.
