What is it that many missed last week when the junior Senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul, offered to help pay for Ilhan Omar’s ticket back to Africa? That never before in modern political history of this country had a significant GOP politician done what he did, which is to make, on record, the first step towards settling once and for all the key grievance that many blacks have with the US. Namely, reparations for the 400 years that this nation exploited black labor. Paul Rand offered to help pay for Omar’s ticket. And, brothers and sisters, is this not a step in the right direction?
Seriously think about it. He opened the door just enough for a black foot to get a toe in. Yes. Let’s talk a little more, Rand, about this wonderful offer you made on Breitbart. It seems you realize this is exactly what we are talking about all the time. But before you get a bit too happy, also know that this is only the start; there is much more you must pay for to make things right as rain. Seeing as you are open to buying the ticket back to black Africa for Omar, we are certain that you are open to the entire expense of this relocation. No half-steppin’, Rand.
Senator Rand Paul Calls Rep. Ilhan Omar ‘Ungrateful’

There is, yes, the ticket, but there are also family members, and with them, members of the whole community (black American and black African) that must go back at your cost. There is more. (That foot is still in the door you yourself opened—not trying to shut it now.) We need money for the shipment of all our things back to the motherland, and there are the realistic costs of resettlement, which will not be successful unless the money from the exploitation of black land (in Africa) and labor (in America) is returned in as close to full as possible. Pay this amount, which is roughly the size of the US debt, $23 trillion (a mere trifle—but admittedly much higher than
Marianne Williamson$100 billion).
But pay and we are good to go, yo. No negro would be here if you helped cover the cost of going back to the Dark Continent. We promise you. We would all go, and even honor one of our cities with your surname. The capital of Wakanda? Check it: Rand!
