A modest proposal: Randall Robinson, Cornel West, Charles Lawrence, and a bunch of other AA "intellectuals" argue on behaf of so-called "reparations" for AAs. I'd like to propose a similar concept: "repatriations." Let's assume that unlike other immigrant groups, nearly all AAs are net-net no gain at all to the economy. But let's further assume half of them are serious sources of costs i.e. prisons, crime, welfare, pointless "educational" expense. So that's maybe 20 million people. So the Us government offers these 20 million people, let's say 100k each, in return for giving up US citizenship and being repatriated to, say, Ghana. For a family of five i.e. mommy and five kids, half a million dollars is enough to live like royalty in Ghana. And for single thug-life guys, a 100k should be enough for plenty of "bitchez," as they so colorfully say. But for the U.S. the benefits would be well worth the increased taxes necessary to pay for this scheme. Imagine, lower crime, urban neighborhoods opened up for revitalization, make-believe colleges and academic departments could be shuttered. It would be almost an American renaissance.

and at a cost of 2 trillion dollars, the benefits would be overwhelmingly greater than the initial financial investment.

The great story that people are just beginning to focus on is that there are three primaries going on now -- including the crucial for for the Super Ds. Clinton is getting shellacked in this one. I would love a breakdown of where we are in this category around 3 pm today.

C'mon, Eric, Greg and Josh. This Ludmila person has been blanketing the site with his/her/its racist tripe all day. Can something be done?

Ludmilla is a ass.

Come on, Eric. Ludmilla isn't just a troll. There's a line...

dear corporal greg and mr. erik klondike, do not heed the complaints. ludmilla shoud be retained. she speaks for the regular guy and the common volk. i mean folk not volk. she is friends with paul krugman.

I seem to recall a character in Jerzy Kozinski's book "The Painted Bird" named "Stupid Ludmilla." Can we please dispense with this Stupid Ludmilla once and for all - just as the character was dispensed with? (if you've read the book you'll remember what happened to her).

"what is obama doing wrong that he can't close the deal with ludmillo?"
Ludmila wants to ship Obama to Africa for $100,000. I wouldn't take up that offer, given our money ain't worth much these days.

I propose shipping all us white people back to Europe. Preferably all to Belgium, via the Staten Island Ferry.
