Racial injustice is real, but the victims are not who the media tells you.

The point isn’t that huckleberry and huckleberry bearer sound similar, especially when you take into account regional dialects. The point is that there is no reference of huckle ever being the name of the handle on a casket. Moreover, there is no evidence, except for a single chain mail story- repeated ALOT- that huckle bearer was ever a term. But, there is evidence that huckleberry was used durig the time to mean essentially “the object of one‘s desires.” And, the available evidence shows a trend of this use of huckleberry spanning across the Atlantic (and several centuries) to Great Britain.

I‘m going to go ahead and burst another bubble for you. Those folksy aphorisms, like “don’t throw out the baby with the bath water” and “doesn’t have a pot to piss in?” Well, the former does not come from the (non)fact that babies were washed last in community bath water that was so murky you could lose a submerged toddler. And, the latter does not come from the (non)fact that poor people would sell urine to the tanning industry. There was a thread about these, right here in the bear pit a while back (maybe a couple of threads). Someone cut and pasted The contents of a chain letter. Unfortunately, the contents were erroneous.

Besides, Holiday was from Georgia...

Lets give every black house hold 800K $ in Reparations


Duke University public policy professor William Darity co-authored a report calling for $12 trillion in slavery reparations, amounting to $800,000 for each eligible Black household.

The Roosevelt Institute, a “think tank and campus network that works to move the country toward a new economy and democracy by the people, for the people,” sponsored the report, titled “Resurrecting the Promise of 40 Acres: The Imperative of Reparations for Black Americans.”


In the report, Darity and co-author Kirsten Mullen pointed to the U.S. government’s failure to deliver on a promise to give 40 acres to every former slave. The two said that this failure is the cause of the current wealth gap between Black and White households. If this policy had been enacted after the Civil War, the authors “speculate that there would be no need to consider the case for black reparations today.”

As the “culpable” party, the report said that the federal government “must pay the debt” of $10 to $12 trillion dollars in 2016 dollars. The couple arrives at this figure by calculating that a payment of $800,000 to each Black household would close the current wealth gap.

So give them all that $800,000 in one lump sum and then of course make sure they have to pay the correct taxes on it, as well as the rest of their income at whatever tax level that pushes them to HA!
