There's just so much of this
reparations story that I find amusing, I just don't know where to begin.
- How in the hell did they get they get a $500,000 check from the IRS? I had no idea it was that easy to get half a mil. I figured there was a cutoff, $10K, $50K, somewhere in there, that would raise a few eyebrows at the IRS before they just sent out a check. Apparently not.
- It's even possible to blow that much money in a week? Man, did they even sleep? Is anyone surprised that they bought a Benz?
- Now that they got their money from the United States government, they are now renouncing their citizenship and saying the federal court has no jurisdiction over them.
- They were angry with the legacy of slavery in this country, and their actions put them behind bars. Irony, anyone?
