From the article:

On Friday's episode of "Prophetic Perspective on Current Events," Rick Joyner focused on the unrest that erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, in the wake of a grand jury's failure to indict a white police officer who shot an unarmed black teen. While discussing his views on the issue, Joyner shared his belief that blacks were brought to America as slaves as part of God's plan to teach this nation about freedom and that the large salaries professional athletes earn today are God's reparations for slavery.

1. Wow, does this guy even watch sports?

It's not like black athletes make more than white athletes and since only .00001% of the population will ever become professional athletes that is not reparations.

4. Seriously...

And the scary part is there are tons of teabaggers nodding their heads in agreement.

5. I do see it as a positive that if someone is able to hit a baseball,

or catch a football, nobody these days gives the tiniest shit if they are black, white, brown or purple. Because it wasn't always like that.

6. I wonder what his former business parter

Reggie White would think about the comment if he was still alive. It is not like Reggie White spent years on the field, in the film room, and in the weight room making himself one of the best just to get a check for something that his ancestors experienced.

Idiot.
