Attorneys See Slavery As A Pot Of Gold-By Harsha Sankar

January 2001

The corporate media are ignoring an important issue. Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree is leading a group of lawyers who are seeking to make even more riches for themselves off Black slavery that occurred 140 years ago. They are called the Reparations Assessment Group and seek to obtain compensation for Blacks.

The professor and his greedy colleagues aren’t concerned that there are thousands of slaves in Africa because there is no money to be made off of them. Richard Scruggs (his lawyer team was awarded $92 billion in the $368 billion tobacco settlement),Dennis Sweet (whose firm received one quarter of the $400 million judgment granted against “phen-fen”) and Johnnie Cochran are co-conspirators in the effort to convert American democracy into lootocracy.

What about the thousands of black slave-owners in the South? Who is going to trace their descendants? How about studies that reveal 90 percent of Black Americans are of mixed ancestry? Will each person receive a prorated amount based on his or her lineage?

One question that will be easy to answer is which lawyers receive a fee. The private bar associations control society as much as the Nazis did in Germany and the communists do in China.
