Apology for Slavery-Second attempt

[Dork]

O.K. I messed up the poll. My wife called while I was typing it and wasn't paying attention. Let's try this again....

 

[mAlice]

I don't owe anybody sh!t.

 

[RoseRed]

I don't owe anybody sh!t.

Same here.

 

[StrwberryKisses]

Its called History for a reason. Let it be

 

[FireBrand]

I don't owe anybody sh!t.

Kwillia's schnauzer still needs to be checked for flies.

 

[Dork]

So far I have been told that "most negros think they deserve an apology and money" and I was called a racist idiot. For what it's worth, I am white, have more non white friends than white. I work with super black people and don't have a problem with black people until they prove themselves to be stupid, lazy, and think they are owed something. Then again, I know white people I don't like for the same reason.

My schnauzer is just fine...:

 

[Dougstermd]

I think blacks people are just tryin to say you do not owe.

Cause blacks people wana treat white people the same ways da police treats black peoples.

I ain't sayin you did it. I am sayin you fit the description of someone who did it!


That was my alltime favorite comic view act.


yeah i watch BET cause I want to be a cool cracker

I can't believe this country has fallen this far. We have a war going on with terrorists and these politcians want to stir up another civil war here!!! My grandparents came from Italy & Sicily in the early 1900's so I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE for anything that went on before then. Also, there is NOBODY ALIVE TODAY who was involved in slavery! Second, this is purely political! Al Sharptongue & Jesse Jackass know they can get these spineless politicians to give in to them and they're only doing this for the black votes! Many black people I talk to think this is stupid and demeaning to them! (When is my Italian history month?) I think the apology should come from those who commit almost 80% of the crime in the 4 southern Maryland counties. They need to apologize to the rest of us law abiding folks for their actions. THE FOLLOWING ARE STATISTICS, NOT RACIAL COMMENTS! Just read the police briefs in Charles county alone! In descending order here is the breakdown of who commits the most crimes here: black males, then white males, then black females, then white females. Now, all who know me know that Jesus rules my life. Nothing said here denotes prejudice. I'm just soooo sick of hearing this archaic issue coming up 300 years later and stupid people buying into it! The government should ask us what we think and not just do what they want. I believe that we no longer have a say in what this government does! We are headed for communism if the democrats win in "08! I'm at my wits end with this, but hang tough southern Md., email your government until you see a change.

Perhaps the African leaders who sold their human being countymen into slavery (or the lineage thereof) should be the ones who owe their own an apology and $$$ (<~~~THAT, I don't understand). If your own country sells you as subhuman, to be owned, then why blame constantly only the buyer? It has never been right, but enough is enough. Be what you are, and that is an American and perhaps seek to unify with your country and its causes vice isolating yourself due to your ancestry.

Just my thoughts.

Dear Dork
You have much to learn grasshopper.
First lesson a white heterosexual male must learn. Embrace and accept the fact that you are a sexiest, homophobic, raciest. It is your heritage, be proud that you have not excepted the politically correct lobotomy.
Don't label, but accept being labeled.


As for retribution. Millions, if not billions of tax paying Americans and governmental leaders migrated to America well after the fact.
Is the Government of today the same government of then?
Absolutely not! We had a civil war. So how can the government of today be responsible for the southern government of then, that doesn't exist any longer?
The thought problems that blacks have inherited were caused by the propaganda lies that them damn Yankees were telling to support their cause.
The big lie that still showing it's snowball effect today.
All wars use propaganda. The civil war was no different.
The Yankee's used the image of the mean plantation owner,abolish slavery.
They used this to cover up a bigger lie. The lie of taxation. The south was getting nothing for their taxes but yet the roads where getting paved and so on in the north. The south had had enough and divided it's self from the north. The north was saying where are we gonna get our cotton and food now?
Fact is, them Yanks had to make up a lie, they just couldn't come out admit that they have been spending all the south's tax money on themselves.
So still to this day we live and suffer the great American lie.
Because the fact is... The south had agreed years before the civil war to abolish slavery, machinery was a lot more cost effective.

Now did whites enslave blacks or did blacks enslave blacks? Did not blacks introduce slavery to America?
How else would have black people got to America?
They now live in the greatest country in the world only because of slavery. If it were not for slavery they wouldn't be here at all.

Fact is Africans were not sailors then and are not sailors today.
But lets just say they were and that three African ships full of half naked bone through nose's Africans set sail to the new land and landed in Boston.

Oh hell yea I can picture this. Americans would have welcomed the bush tribe and their bare chested women with open arms,,,then reloaded um.

We are talking about a nation that would torture and burned women for witch craft. A nation that killed our own for being non Christan. A nation that slaughtered Indians with a clear conscience, because they were non Christan heathens.

Booga Booga me Kounta Kentia come to live in land of free... yea OK..
At what point in American history would have Africans been accepted in America?

I would have rather they did migrate here, but I honestly believe that would have never happened.

Could have blacks flourished in America if it were not for slavery? Anyone with half of a brain cell knows the answer to this.

Now lets look at evelution..look at the blacks in the world in their natural inhabitant. I don't mean to sound cruel, but the fact is they are only one step up the evolution ladder from the cave man.
No where in the world has white people lived like tribal bush natives for how many century's? But because the white man forced the black man to evolve we owe them. OK I understand.. NOT!

Well, your points have merit - however, I don't completely buy the fact that they would have never immigrated to this country. I think they would have eventually traveled here but they wouldn't have been slaves. Now, whether they would have prospered is a totally different story. Their method of surviving was living off the land and whatever they could put their hands on. Would that have translated into the crime statistics we have today? Who knows.

In any event, I don't think an apology is in order for the simple fact that we would be making an exception yet again for an ethnic group that no one else has had. Have the Jews made Germany apologize for the Holocaust? Not that I'm aware of. Have the Indians made the USA apologize for the obliteration of their tribes? I don't think so. Has anyone from Wall Street apologized for the Great Depression? Okay, that's a stretch but you see where I'm going with this. We can't constantly keep dredging up the past - it's called history for a reason. We can't change it, we shouldn't apologize for it but we should learn from it and I certainly think we have.

We have a war going on with terrorists and these politcians want to stir up another civil war here!!!

The war on terror is over. Congress voted to surrender

 

[aps45819]

I consider the creation of the nation Liberia sufficient reparation. Anybody that wanted to go was offered a ride "home'.

 

[Kyle]

... They may actually owe everyone here for their Passage Fares to the new world. Plus interest... Customs Fees... Inspection Fees.... Local Licenses and processing....


Please have Jesse Jackson send me a check.

TIA

Do they let you know their secret identities too

 

[Pushrod]

They can kiss my @ss if they ever think I owe them $hit!
This just causes more division among the races and promotes racism, both ways.
If the super-racist like Sharpton and Jackson would keep their yaps shut and the government would stop all this PC crap racism maybe would dissapear into the back corners of America!
Things are what they ARE! A majority of blacks commit a majority of the violent crimes, there is no way around that. To blame the white population for the actions of the unner city underclass black people is absurd! There are many blacks living an honest upstanding life in society, so there is no excuse for those that don't!
At least the scumbag whites underclass that commit violent crimes aren't blamming the blacks for their actions (they blame their parents?)!
