No More Welfare Queens

Black economist, and Townhall yack, Thomas Sowell, has consistently told Blacks to stay off welfare and help themselves. Sowell's books, "Race and Culture," "Migrations and Cultures," and "Conquests and Cultures," sent Sowell on a world quest for the answer to: Why do some groups survive and thrive under the most adverse conditions while others disappear? His answer? People who possess cultural capital, a reverence for education, strength in family, and self-reliance -- endure. Guess the best way to destroy a group is strip them of their culture, make reading and writing illegal, breakup families by selling off members or determine who will breed with who, and providing just enough food and shelter for subsisting. Where have we seen that.

But Sowell might be on to something, and I agree with the "answer" he found on his quest. Black America should adopt a "never again" attitude, never again trapped in the cycle of forced dependency and accompanying demoralization. Black America should take its cue from Israel, and expect aid. If it works for Israel, it should work for Black America.

The US political body should give the 37 million Black Americans as much aid as they give Israel. For conciseness let's say 3.5 billion annually, and funds will be retro for 30 years, starting now. These funds will be tax free aid for the first 10 years, after which 75 percent of the funds will be considered aid and the other 25 percent loans with interest, and interest will be at a pittance percent with aid amount rising periodically in order to help repay interest. All aid and loans will end after approximately 60 years (length of time for Israel handout to date). We'll call the deal the Restitution Funds.

Payment for centuries of working indigo, cotton, rice, tobacco, sugarcane fields; for cooking, cleaning, washing dirty underwear, nursing sick masters, entertaining their guests, and wetnursing white babies while selling Black ones. Criminal restitution for rape, murder, perversity, torture, beatings.

The funds will be used for cultural repo and how to recover heritage. Funds will be used for education in all fields, and include early childhood immersion in the truth of Black American history and relieve the White man of his burden of revision. Money will go to family strengthening which will include resettlement in quality housing (not buddy contracting government projects) and the skills to maintain in an ownership society. Funds for self-reliance programs based on self-employment, entrepreneurship, and how to work with 'the man' instead for him.

The Fund will exclude the extortion racket of right of return, as we like it here just fine thank you. Black America will retain US citizenship and hold loyalty to America only (no dual loyalty worries). Lastly, military aid will, as does Israel, entail purchasing weapons and training. Not nearly as much will be spent on weaponry as Israel, as Black America does not need nukes, just enough small arms for a Black cultural militia, in case terrorists decide to burn or bomb churches, the neighborhood, Black businesses, or murder, etc. (No more of this justice delayed/justice denied shit either.)

I have it all worked out. No Black American will receive another dime in "welfare." No Black American will receive foodstamps or free childcare or medical care or college ride. My children will be appointed Restitution Fund operation officers, and do the disbursement.
