From a story over on Fox News:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,60695,00.html
"It seems that America owes black people a lot for what we have endured," Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan told the crowd. "We cannot settle for some little jive token. We need millions of acres of land that black people can build."
"We're not begging white people," said Farrakhan, one of several speakers at a rally organizers billed as "Millions for Reparations." "We are just demanding what is justly ours."
Would free, one-way air travel back to Africa be considered a "little jive token"?

Of course they wouldn't lower themselves to begging. It wouldn't work anyway.
They think they can make the family farm work in America again? That would be big news and bigger laughs in states like Ohio, where my Mom's family used to be farmers but are now working in factories and hardware stores because all that farmland can't produce a profitable living.
But of course Farrakhan isn't talking about just American farmland either. He'd take Silicon Valley, Wall Street, 5th Avenue, Rodeo Drive, and various billion dollar industrial parks and feel he was "just demanding what is justly ours." No matter whose effort built the enterprises on the square footage. Let's see him debate Ross Perot on that subject... That should be a hoot....

This is my favorite quote.....
"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health," Charles Barron, a member of the New York City Council, told the crowd.
GO AHEAD..SLAP ME ! IT WILL BE YOUR LAST MISTAKE.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A few thousand black demonstrators rallied on the Mall in Washington on Saturday to demand that the U.S. government pay blacks reparations for slavery and decades of discrimination.
"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing,' and then slap him, just for my mental health," Charles Barron, a member of the New York City Council, told the crowd.
The demonstrators, numbering about 2,000 to 3,000, came from all parts of the United States, many traveling by bus from as far away as Texas. With the U.S. Capitol in the background, they chanted "Black power! Reparations!" and "Start the Revolution!"
"Apologize White America," said a sign carried by one demonstrator.
Barron, a self-proclaimed "elected revolutionary," said if the government did not act swiftly he personally would storm the Treasury Department and take the money for reparations.
Black activist Louis Farrakhan told the crowd, "America owes the black people a lot for what they've endured."
"We need land for political independence, we need millions of acres," Farrakhan added. "We need payment for 310 years of slavery, of destruction of our minds and the robbery of our culture."
The United States, torn apart by the Civil War, abolished slavery in 1865. Some people argue that even 137 years after abolition, blacks still suffer from the vestiges of slavery.
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat from Michigan, urged blacks to press their elected representatives in Congress to deal with the issue of slavery reparations.
"We want reparations -- not next century, not 10 years from now, but now," Conyers said. "These wrongs can only be corrected in the House of Representatives, only Congress can do what we want now. All congressmen ought to be here today."
Conyers has backed legislation that would require the House of Representatives to study slavery's effects on blacks.
Demonstrators said blacks deserved "long overdue" reparations, noting compensation won by Jews in the aftermath of the Nazi Holocaust and Japanese-Americans for their internment by the United States in camps during World War II.
The turnout was smaller than the tens of thousands of demonstrators forecast by organizers of the "Millions for Reparations" movement. But those who traveled to Washington said they believed the rally would make a difference.
"You have to really make some noise just to be heard," Edna Russell, who traveled from Denver, told Reuters.
Kobina Abew, an American citizen from Ghana dressed in a colorful African gown, said, "It's going to be very effective. It's going to bring a solution to this problem, I believe."

Don't mean to policicalize but,....Reprehensible Conyers is pandering to the black crowd, and black vote. He knows it, too.
He knows that the Republicans won't vote en mass, so the subject will push an emotional vote over to the Democratic side.
We know what that side stands for in general terms.
Watched the rally for sometime. Heard a singer/group sing.........
......, "Show me the money, or I'll show you a Glock"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The organizers know before hand the 'style' of these "artists".
Thye are quilty of 'incite to riot', and deliberately creating tension by the allowance of those people.
Yes, it is a matter of First Ammendment Speech, but not when you, "call for fire". Whether or not it's in a crowded movie theatre is not the issueThe thought behind the action is to be judged!
HOW LONG do you think some of these people would be: #1. in positions of power, or, #2. have the income producing jobs thru rabble rousing if they wern't acting like they do????
Happy Bullet Holes!
