Descendants of slaves filed a $1 billion lawsuit Monday against U.S. and British corporations, accusing them of profiting by committing genocide against their ancestors.
Lawyers for the eight plaintiffs said the complaint was the first slave reparations lawsuit to use DNA to link the plaintiffs to Africans who suffered atrocities during the slave trade.
The suit filed in federal court in Manhattan accuses Lloyd's of London, FleetBoston and R.J. Reynolds of "aiding and abetting the commission of genocide" by allegedly financing and insuring the ships that delivered slaves to tobacco plantations in the United States.
The defendants "have destroyed our national and ethnic identity," one of the plaintiffs, Deadria Farmer-Paellmann, said at a news conference announcing the suit.
DNA testing has made a "direct connection" between Farmer-Paellmann and the Mende tribe in Sierra Leone, whose people "were kidnapped, tortured and shipped in chains to the United States," the suit said.
Scientific evidence also has linked the other plaintiffs to tribes in Niger and Gambia, the suit said.
I can't even begin to say what's wrong with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE ARE VICTIMS AND THEN THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL VICTIMS AND THEY HAVE THEIR HEADS STUCK WHERE GOD NEVER INTENDED THE SUN TO SHINE AND ARE OVERWHELMED BY THE STENCH AND DISORIENTED BY THE LACK OF VISUAL REFERENCE POINTS.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT THEY KILLED AND ATE WHO WENT TO AFRICA TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD AND TO SEND THEM TO SCHOOL.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS/
YOU SEND THEM TO SCHOOL AND THEY EAT THE TEACHER.

A more correct statement cannot be made. Now, the american indians? maybe there is a valid claim. Thoughts on that TMOV?

welfare has it's proper uses.
to reflect on what the bureau of indian affairs has done from the beginning is to make a welfare state for the american indians.
now in the cases of the rest of the welfare recipients in this united states, we support them until they become self reliant.
now that the indians have taken over the gambling industry there is no need to take moneys out of the us treasury dept to make them live any larger than they are capable of doing if they distribute their wealth among the needy of their bretheren.
that should do it.

harleywhite, I can't believe it either. People are so sue happy. All they want is money so they don't have to work.
You see, now that they stop welfare after 2 years of being on it, they have to get their money somewhere. God forbid if they worked for a living.

That's where WE the people need to watch how we vote. Not that it will make too much of a difference, they are all politicians watching out for themselves.

I'm not a racist person, but I really dislike people who try to use and abuse the system. Just like the obese people wanting to sue the fast food chains. Spare me. The health insurance companys charge more for smokers, they should do the same for obese people, now that it has come out that being obese kills as many people as smoking does.
