Let’s Get This Party Started Right: British Reparations Launches $58M Booty Hunt At Constitution Center
PRESS CONFERENCE January 24, 2007THE INTERNATIONAL COALITION FOR BRITISH REPARATIONS WILL HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO KICK OFF THEIR CAMPAIGN DEMANDING COMPENSATION FROM THE BRITISH EMPIRE IN RESPONSE TO PRINCE CHARLES’ VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA.
THE ICBR WILL HOLD THE CONFERENCE IN ORDER TO FURTHER THEIR CAUSE OF COLLECTING REPARATIONS FROM THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF 31 TRILLION POUNDS STERLING ($58 MILLION USD) FOR INJURIES AND INJUSTICES SUFFERED OVER THE PAST FIVE HUNDRED YEARS.
We’re pretty sure it’s not a joke, although it does seem to be coming from the general direction of Gyro, so you never know. On one hand, it’s hard to hate on any organization whose motto is “People of the world, it’s time to get paid.” On the other, Steven Grasse of all people should know that cheeky race-baiting self-promo disguised as agitprop is like so 1997.
Rest of the deetz after the jump.
