Mike Bloomberg's Reparation Payments to Blacks

I'm not impressed by former mayor Michael Bloomberg of New Yawk City (now simply known in everyday-man language as "Mike").

A lot of people aren't willing to stoop to the policies he did to earn money or advance their careers. He made a criminal class out of all young black men in New York City to clean it up for the tourists and foreign investors.

At what cost?

I'm not black, but I'm Irish and I don't much like injustice against the little guy.  Bloomberg didn't choose young, obviously Jewish men -- those with the kippahs and long ponytail sideburns -- to put up against chain-link fences or brick walls so police could put their hands all over their bodies feeling them up for evidence of criminality.

Mikey B. called for that.

As a "white", I'm not paying in the future for the civil rights violations that such systemic racism costs our society.  That's on Mike B. himself.

He should stop spending on ad buys the reparations money he, and his family (daughters and grandchildren), owe to the innocent young black men who were targeted, stopped and searched -- often every time they set foot outside and cops were around -- just to allegedly make New York safer for the Bloomberg types to grow their fortunes at somebody else's expense.

In one of the debates he condescended to participate in, Bloomberg said he was running for president for his grandchildren.  Paying reparations for the injustice that his acts caused would be a good first step from Michael Bloomberg toward healing the American jewish and black communities from these fresh violations.

As more and more immigrants come to our country everyday -- and the holocaust and slavery days slip further and further into our collective pasts-- it's time for the players involved to settle old scores, make an effort at rough justice, and compensate the victims.

Here, since the violations are so recent, and documented, a New York City justice commission should be able to transfer Bloomberg funds into growth programs that teach authorities why they must respect the Constitutional rights of all American citizens.  The daughters and grandchildren need not be mandated to attend necessarily, but Mike B. should be out there doing community service, and getting to know, the innocent black boys he targeted as criminals.

Maybe he'll learn what the holocaust taught so many already:  a human being is a human being is a human being.  God sent his Son to all of us as the New Covenant -- jews and gentile alike -- and we should let the myth of a chosen people be practiced privately as the First Amendment guarantees, but not spill over into the street policies that lets a mortal mayor man play God himself.

We're just not buying it, Mike.
And nobody today wants to be like that, a little tough guy who plays by the rules with SOME people, but not other employees or citizens of his city. Life doesn't let you pick and choose humanity like that...
