Quote of the Day

On the eve of New Jersey being the first state taking a step towards reparations Republican Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll had this to say:
“But, on a current note, if slavery was the price that a modern American’s ancestors had to pay in order to make one an American, one should get down on one’s knees every single day and thank the Lord that such price was paid. To the extent that America — or New Jersey — ever owed any kind of debt to anyone, that debt was more than repaid through the blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded during the war provoked by slavery. No one today need feel the slightest guilt, as no one today participated in the wrong.”Source
For a second I thought about penning a rational response to this statement…but instead I’ll focus on more important things like thanking my lucky stars that my ancestors were enslaved. Give God the glory! Sighs…who wants to take bets that if we opened up the trunk to his Corolla there’d be a grand wizard cloak in it right now?
