I would like to thank PA Pundits International for inviting me to be a commentator. In the last 10+ years I’ve been writing a column, Libertarian Leanings, for an online newspaper, the Grant County Beat, in Silver City, NM.

By way of introduction, I’m 83 and my main hobbies, since I gave up golf, are Islamophobia and Climate Skepticism. Hey, keeps me off the streets.

Reparations, again. by Peter Burrows
Reparations are back in the news, and some really big numbers are being thrown around. California, for example, is considering paying up to $1.2 million to descendants of slaves, which is chump change compared to San Francisco’s $5 million proposal. The lowest number I’ve seen is $350,000 from a Black economics professor. (Duke University, no less!)
I touch on some of the absurdities and dangers of reparations in “White math vs. Reparations,” in which I also touch on the legitimate possibility that if reparations are owed, perhaps it’s from blacks to whites!
I explore that thought in a 2019 article, “Reparations? No thanks,” in which I also have a little fun with the underlying assumption that there is no statute of limitations for the crime of slavery. Given the historical fact that everybody was subject to slavery at one time or another in the history of humanity, it’s Bon Appetit! for Anglo-Saxon pizza lovers.
Ridicule beats logic when dealing with bullshit, don’t you think? Here are the links to the above articles:
