A big bust, and is it time for reparations?

Over $1 billion worth of cocaine seized in historic drug bust in Philadelphia
They just seized 16 tons of cocaine in the port of Philadelphia. Street value is.....wait for it.....one billion (with a B) dollars. Imagine that. Whatever happened to the Southern border? I suppose that trump will want to build a wall around Philly next. Delaware or New Jersey will pay for it.

The thing is, though, this is serious business. Clearly there is a demand for drugs out there. That 16 tons of cocaine would have been cut up and distributed to various markets, and it would have been gone in the blink of an eye. If you have a cocaine habit, you might be paying a little more for your product over the next few days.

I think that we can all agree that head are going to literally roll. The people who are responsible for packing the cocaine on those ships will not take losing a billion dollars worth of dope lightly.

Finally, Mitch (turtle) McConnell didn't think that there is a need for reparations because he felt that America was past racism. Why? Because we elected Barack Obama. Mitch doesn't think that people in America today should even have to deal with the issue of slavery and America's original sin because all those evil slave owners are dead.

Thankfully, he was given a history lesson today by Ta-Nehisi Coates in Washington.

"Yesterday, when I asked about reparations, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell offered a familiar reply. America should not be held liable for something that happened 150 years ago, since none of us currently alive are responsible. This rebuttal proffers a strange theory of governance that American accounts are somehow bound by the lifetime of its generations. But well into the century the United States was still paying out pensions to the heirs of Civil War soldiers. We honor treaties that date back some 200 years despite no one being alive who signed those treaties.

Many of us would love to be taxed for the things we are solely and individually responsible for. But we are American citizens, and thus bound to a collective enterprise that extends beyond our individual and personal reach. It would seem ridiculous to dispute invocations of the founders, or the Greatest Generation, on the basis of a lack of membership in either group. We recognize our lineage as a generational trust, as inheritance and the real dilemma posed by reparations is just that: a dilemma of inheritance. It’s impossible to imagine America without the inheritance of slavery.

As historian Ed Baptiste has written, enslavement “shaped every crucial aspect of the economy and politics” of America, so that by 1836 more than $600 million, almost half of the economic activity in the United States, derived directly or indirectly from the cotton produced by the million-odd slaves. By the time the enslaved were emancipated, they comprised the largest single asset in America: $3 billion in 1860 dollars, more than all the other assets in the country combined.

The method of cultivating this asset was neither gentle cajoling nor persuasion, but torture, rape, and child trafficking. Enslavement reigned for 250 years on these shores. When it ended, this country could have extended its hallowed principles — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — to all, regardless of color. But America had other principles in mind. And so, for a century after the Civil War, black people were subjected to a relentless campaign of terror, a campaign that extended well into the lifetime of Majority Leader McConnell.

It is tempting to divorce this modern campaign of terror, of plunder, from enslavement, but the logic of enslavement, of white supremacy, respects no such borders, and the god of bondage was lustful and begat many heirs. Coup d’états and convict leasing. Vagrancy laws and debt peonage. Redlining and racist G.I. bills. Poll taxes and state-sponsored terrorism.

We grant that Mr. McConnell was not alive for Appomattox. But he was alive for the electrocution of George Stinney. He was alive for the blinding of Isaac Woodard. He was alive to witness kleptocracy in his native Alabama and a regime premised on electoral theft. Majority Leader McConnell cited civil rights legislation yesterday, as well he should, because he was alive to witness the harassment, jailing, and betrayal of those responsible for that legislation by a government sworn to protect them. He was alive for the redlining of Chicago and the looting of black homeowners of some $4 billion. Victims of that plunder are very much alive today. I am sure they’d love a word with the majority leader.

 What they know, what this committee must know, is that while emancipation deadbolted the door against the bandits of America, Jim Crow wedged the windows wide open. And that is the thing about Senator McConnell’s “something”: It was 150 years ago. And it was right now.
The typical black family in this country has one-tenth the wealth of the typical white family. Black women die in childbirth at four times the rate of white women. And there is, of course, the shame of this land of the free boasting the largest prison population on the planet, of which the descendants of the enslaved make up the largest share.

 The matter of reparations is one of making amends and direct redress, but it is also a question of citizenship. In H.R. 40, this body has a chance to both make good on its 2009 apology for enslavement, and reject fair-weather patriotism, to say that this nation is both its credits and debits. That if Thomas Jefferson matters, so does Sally Hemings. That if D-Day matters, so does Black Wall Street. That if Valley Forge matters, so does Fort Pillow.

Because the question really is not whether we’ll be tied to the somethings of our past, but whether we are courageous enough to be tied to the whole of them. Thank you."[Source]

Hopefully Mr McConnell was listening. Not that it will make a difference if he was. Some folks are just destined to be on the wrong side of history. /

McConnell is metabolically immune to shame, so he'll never give a rat's ass how badly he was shredded today. The only currency he understands is power, and it will be a fine day when we get to see the look on his despicable face when he loses the majority in the senate.

That's a lot of coke.

Never liked the stuff, myself, but I saw a lot of folks who liked it way too much wreak havoc on their lives, families, and neighborhoods.
Can't see how anything that got you to behave like that could be any fun, but they sure import a lot of it, so someone must still be buying.

Reparations have already been paid, in spades.

If you want to do a complete accounting, it's blacks who owe whites.

Some smugglers must have paid off a LOT of customs agents in the port. Otherwise, there is no way they’d even have attempted a shipment of coke that audaciously large. They must have thought they absolutely owned the port in Philly to feel confident enough to risk putting so many of their eggs in one basket.

I won’t mince words on the recent push for reparations: It is hopeless. Worse than hopeless, in fact — harmful.

There is no generally held moral principle that people can get compensation for injuries, not to them, but to distant ancestors, resulting from policies that were completely legal at the time those injuries occurred. Like it or not, slavery was not a crime in its time, even if the institution is viewed as highly unjust by today’s standards. A government that embraced the idea that anyone could demand and receive a “do-over” of whatever part of history they didn’t like, would collapse due to the endless social instability this would induce.

More pragmatically, this will simply never happen. There is no route by which it becomes law. There is zero support for it outside the black community, and running for office on any kind of reparations platform will result in disaster. I am frankly shocked by the degree of delusion involved in thinking this is remotely possible in a country in which 46% of voters just two elections ago threw their support behind a blatantly racist thug like Donald Trump! If, for example, the 2020 Democratic nominee ended up being Cory “Reparations” Booker, the inevitable backlash would guarantee four more years of Trump, probably followed by even more horrors to come as levels of racism spiraled to levels witnessed only by much earlier generations of Americans.

Left-wing social reforms only ever succeed unless they are built on social solidarity, and divisive attempts to have the government extend aid to people, not on the basis of need but based on skin color or any other identity-based physical characteristics, will inevitably end in collapsing support and trust for any governmental action. In the effort to improve the well-being of the black community via such a doomed proposal, it will lose out on other programs that would have produced progress and would have been politically achievable. This looks to me like a serious wrong turn that the Democrats would be well-advised not to take.

And once again, Plagiarist Negro gives us a long piece that he didn't write, and doesn't even tell us who actually wrote it.  To find out, we have to find the link at the end labelled "Source", and click through it.

Today it's an unsigned editorial at the Jew York Slime... er, New York Times.  No surprise, it is owned by the (((Sulzberger))) family and financed by the likes of Carlos Slim.  They HATE Americans.

Why is a "strong black man" who actually works as a judge unable to write his OWN opinions for his blog?  It's a mystery, it is.

Could this blog survive even ONE DMCA takedown request?

Paradoctor said...

But could you trust the federal government to administer reparations? For to do so would require that it compile a database on all Americans. This data base would include names, addresses, contact information, bank account information, and race. The database would also include the amount of the reparations paid.

If such a database fell into the wrong hands, then they could do great harm. Can you trust the federal government to safeguard it? A federal government headed by someone like, say, Trump? Who ran on, say, taking the reparations back?

Other issues come to mind. For instance, what about mixtures? Does the one-drop rule apply? Which way? And if they pro-rate it, then how to determine blackness fraction? DNA testing? Geneology? Color swatch?

But color swatches would be a betrayal of Dr. King's vision; and geneologies are incomplete and unreliable; and DNA testing proves that race is a social construct.

Miracle Worker, an Underfable


Once upon a time, an Activist said to a Rastafarian, "If only the Whites would pay reparations to the Blacks! Then we could forget history, and there would be peace, harmony and justice."

The Rastafarian said, "I will work on this." He then performed holy rites, involving sacrifice of great quantities of sacred herb, to contact the spirit of One Love.

After a week he emerged from mystic mist, and he announced to the Activist, "I have good news. The Blacks are willing to accept!"


Moral: Half done is not at all.

People may have heard that the Trump Regime's Secretary of Defense nominee Pat Shanahan had to resign over ... um... a domestic abuse issue.

Looks like Mr. Pat was shielding his son from the authorities for days after junior Shanahan attacked his mother with a baseball bat, knocking her unconscious and bloodying her.

As this Slate article details:

"As the 17-year-old fled the scene, his father first booked a flight to Florida and then a hotel room, where for four days he stayed with his son as he assembled a team of lawyers and attempted to recruit family members to assist in keeping William out of jail."

So, Shanahan's son beats his mother to a bloody pulp, and the first thing that Shanahan does is fly to Florida, harbor his son in a hotel room, and lawyer up.

White Family values in action.

Eventually junior Shanahan was (shock!) given a slap on the wrist as punishment for felony battery with a weapon, as he only received a reduced sentence at a youth correctional ranch, despite being charged as a adult.

White Entitlement has its perks.

Given Trump's own abuse of women and support of such behavior (cough, Brett Kavanaugh), it's a shock that Trump didn't view Shanahan's behavior as a positive virtue.

Drumpf will prolly take credit for drug bust in Philly. Then make the specious claim he has busted the most drugs of any President, including Lincoln. Then he will inflate the street value into the trillions of dollars and claim Obama did nothing to stop drugs.

Then he will polish Putie's micro knob and do the same with Li'l Kim's micro knob and then claim he, Drumpf, has the world's largest micro knob and had it bronzed for show.
