He has a lot of supporters. Some of them hang out in the freeway with giant signs saying to recall Newsom. This state is fucked.

I mean I don't think I'd have cared if slavers got reparations if I also got reparations for being an ex-slave. Slavers probably had money anyway, it's gonna make a bigger difference for me. >_>

Reminder that slave owners getting reparations is actually what the UK did, and what France did to Haiti after their revolution.

The only argument to make for this is that maybe the south would have healed better and let losing the Civil War go unlike in our timeline. And even that's doubtful.

Somehow I don't think this is what he was getting at.

Nobody actually has this opinion. They're just throwing fuel on the fire.

Maybe some white bigots want reparations for the "loss of property," but no black man -- even a self-loathing racist -- actually believes this at face value.

It makes sense in terms of the logic that your property was forcibly taken from you, but there isn't any moral arguement that could really be made in favor of it.

I suppose we would have to look at the UK and France to see how actually doing this worked for them vs us not doing it here to see if this was something that would have had any benefits. Not that it really matters now anyway.

Slavers should have been executed, and their properties redistributed among ex-slaves, with the families of slavers left to fend for themselves in the harsh and cruel world they built.

Reminder that Aaron McGruder probably based Uncle Ruckus off of Larry Elder after their radio feud in L.A. in the 1990s.

I asked him at a ComiCon in Pasadena and he just smiled and nodded.

I have been digging around for transcripts of the Elder-McGruder feud with no success. It was marvelous and went from about 1998-2003. Elder got fired at least twice. Then rehired.

For all the heat Elder is justifiably getting for comments about women and the minimum wage, his far worse comments about the black community are getting little attention.

He actually said that a black child, born into slavery to two parents was better off than a modern day black child born to a single mother in the projects.

He mentored Stephen Miller (who called into his show in HS) and Jason Whitlock.

He's trash. He definitely would have told on Harriet Tubman

The other thing is, when the L.A. Times ran an editorial saying Elder was a black face on white racism, right wing media - including major outlets - lost their shit.

It's something that has been said in CA for decades.

How can a man reasonably argue that slave owners are "arguably" owed reparations, yet for decades write and speak extensively that descendants of slaves are not?

I'm always slightly amused at just how far some of these black white supremacists have to go with these dumbfuck statements just to get attention. A lot of slavers were compensated for freed slaves. What they should've gotten was a bullet to the head
