Trial lawyers are still trying to push for reparations for slavery. The fact that American slavery was abolished more than 140 years ago doesn't stop them from finding plenty of plaintiffs. Now they are claiming to have actual proof that certain corporations actually contributed to the enslavement of specific individuals. (Well their great great great grandparents any way.)

Meanwhile, the usual suspects are carted out to cry for the news cameras.

To plaintiff Antoinette Harrell-Miller, the pain from slavery has not subsided.

"I'm talking about the personal injuries on myself," she said.

"I never stopped wondering about my homeland, where did I come from, who are my people. So just because something happened a long time ago, (it) does not mean that the injury stopped affecting the people that was injured," Harrell-Miller said.

A second plaintiff, Queen Mother Delois Blakely, said "words can not express what we have experienced as a people."

She demanded "reparations, reparations, reparations!"

Plaintiff Deadria Farmer-Paellman added that the US government was also responsible: "The companies, along with the US government, have destroyed our identity."

Judges should consider socking these blood suckers with the defendant's legal fees for filing such frivolous lawsuits. They have the power, but they refuse to use it. I wonder if the fact that many judges are former trial lawyers has anything to do with it.

You know, law schools are turning out so many new lawyers each year that by the year 2025, there will actually be more lawyers than people.
