The Issue of restitution for slavery has again reared its ugly head, this time by Deadria Farmer-Paellmann, supposedly a descendant of slaves.  I say supposedly because she provides no proof, and not all blacks are actually descendants of slaves.  This time she is going after some banks that either financed the slave trade, or actually owned them (as collateral for loans).  Forget the idea that 2 of the targeted banks have already done a mea culpa and set up funds for community improvement!  No, that is not enough!  She wants more!

She wants free education for all the years of slavery!  Sounds noble.  Until you find out that she owes $100,000 in student loans!  And she is no dummy!  She has a doctorate!  SO of course getting it was not going to be cheap.  That is why you get a job after college!  But she is claiming that since her ancestors were denied an education (she conveniently forgets that before the 19th century, most people were so deprived), she should get hers free!  What a leech!  Lend me money and then I will sue your pants off!

She is not looking for reparations.  Indeed she claims the banks are responsible for:

"urban poverty, inadequate healthcare, and lost housing."

She of course completely forgets that all those came about subsequent to slavery, and not during slavery.  But that must be because the banks are responsible for every evil!

If she is so deprived, how is she has a doctorate?  They dont give those out to stupid people.  No, she is just a selfish spoiled child that does not want to pay for what every other person has to pay for.  A good education.  This is not about restitution, this is just another thug trying to blackmail some banks into paying her off so she will go away. 

I hope they just show her to the door and tell her where she can take her demands.  No sun shines there.
