Every now and then some blithering idiot jerks one into the X-ring.

Someone pointed out to me that he was watching a couple of rallies at Stone Mountain and they interviewed both the BLM people and the KKK.

He reported to me that the BLM people were asking for reparations for slavery and that the KKK responded that had their ancestors not been brought to the United States as slaves then they would be living in mud huts in a third world nation.

This was a case of a broken clock being right twice a day and looking at it at the right moment because he reported that the BLM people didn't have an answer for that one.

As I have posted several times before, I am no fan of either the BLM or the KKK but when someone is right, they are right.

Slavery was an evil institution and was patently wrong but the truth is that the children and grandchildren were able to find a lifestyle far above what they would have had if they had been born in Africa. We owe nobody reparations. The principals are now long dead and gone.

If course, nobody remembers how many Union soldiers died in the process of giving the slaves their freedom, either.
