Black History Month 2008.

[hvp05]

I find more honor in taking heat for the real mistakes that you have made yourself. It's quite ironic, that's complete anathema to everything you stand for.

Ding! Exactly correct. Quite the enigma this moron's mind is.

Which is it? (my guess, you'll either copy this in yellow and say something meaningless, or you'll ignore it all together )

That'd be my guess also.


I just can't understand what the point of an 'apology' is. If all us white folks joined together and delivered a collective "I'm sorry" what would be resolved or improved? Everyone would go back to doing and acting the way they did before. Heck, even our dishonorable candidate has repeatedly said he "apologizes" and "feels regret" for what he did to his family, while simultaneously encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.

One can snap off apologies ad infinitum, but if they're not supported by actions they're pointless. And the nation has already apologized with overwhelming legislation and social readjustment - now if only the dishonorable candidate could say the same.

Of course, I'm sure most everyone reading this understands this concept already...

My apology for what I did does not ever include any sort of apology for the thieving child support.

I do not tell anyone to follow my failed marriage methods, but to defy the immoral custody laws and defy the thieving child support are things I do not and did not apologize for.

It is important to see the difference in the two - apologize to family does not include apologizing to the unjust laws.

Just like apologizing for the African slavery in America does not make the dirty deeds of slavery into being condoned.

But your actions of "defying the laws" did not, in fact, hurt the laws or the government... those actions hurt only your family. Your divorce and separation had already happened by the time your wife went for CS, but your traveling aimlessly and not giving anything to your son most certainly scarred him. By being proud of leaving him high and dry while you were somewhere partying indicates you continue to be proud of everything that followed - regardless of any verbal "apology", and even despite seeing his own relationships end up in tatters.

Oh, maybe this would be a good time to recall the quote and ask you to once again explain why you told your son at your ex-wife's grave that you were not sorry for what you did.

Just like apologizing for the African slavery in America does not make the dirty deeds of slavery into being condoned.

Of course, NOT apologizing for slavery does not condone it either.

I feel sorrow when I hear the stories of slavery... but there's no way in hell I would drive into SE D.C. and begin publicly apologizing because neither myself nor any of those present had/have any direct connection to the act. That's what you ought to get through your thick head into that tiny brain.

 

[clevalley]

It is a privlege and an honor to take the heat of a past mistake and if one is truly innocent of wrong then it is a greater honor to do the ammending.

Then take the bullet intended for Lincoln instead of apologizing for slavery, that would right all of your wrongs...

Just for the record:

I am not equating "Black History Month" as a call for an apology for slavery.

Those are two completely separate subjects.

Many whites do seem to equte the month as a denouncement of their own racist past and their ancestrial racist past (and rightly so),

but the "Black History Month" is not given as a denouncement of the racist.

It is sad that we have white bigots that still want to distort and subjegate black history but I am not one of those.

FYI.

 

[hvp05]

So you are officially saying: every white person living in America is a racist and should apologize for slavery because they are white. Even if one's family just recently immigrated from, say, Germany.

Wow.

And then you said it was "rightly so" to equate BHM with denouncing slavery, even though in the previous sentence you said they "are two completely separate subjects." Didn't take you long to fumble on your own words there, Jimbo.

Also, no matter how much you try, you can not avoid the rest of what I said:

But your actions of "defying the laws" did not, in fact, hurt the laws or the government... those actions hurt only your family. Your divorce and separation had already happened by the time your wife went for CS, but your traveling aimlessly and not giving anything to your son most certainly scarred him.

Okay, better things are calling. Have fun arguing with your other personalities, Jimmy.

Wow.

I said "many whites" and clearly I did not say all or every one. Duh.

And then you said it was "rightly so" to equate BHM with denouncing slavery, even though in the previous sentence you said they "are two completely separate subjects." Didn't take you long to fumble on your own words there,

That is reasonable,

just because the racist see "Black History Month" as a testimony against their racism,

then that does not mean the month represents the dirty ideas of those bigots.

 

[hvp05]

I said "many whites" and clearly I did not say all or every one.

Hmm, correct you are. (You should now pause and celebrate this rare phenomenon.) I must have been thinking of the following statement when I replied with "every white person":

If the white folks would just apologize for the wrongs done to the black population, and make ammends - then this kind of stuff would not happen.

See, there it was plain "white folks", not most, many, or a bunch.

What caused you to alter your position?

And since you did say "many whites", how would you determine which white people should apologize and which shouldn't? You reparationists never do have a satisfactory answer for this one, so I'm sure your response will be a gem.

Some times "hvp" is really on top, and this time he blows it completely.

It is that many whites are still bigoted racist, but it is all whites that need to apologize for the African slavery in America.

And "Black History Month" is not about apologizing nor about reparations. It is about our history.

Have you contacted Africa and demanded an apology from everyone on that continent for selling their own for profit?

 

[crabcake]

Just like a politician ...

James P. Cusick Sr. (D)

I am a registered Democrat candidate for the U.S. House of
Representatives, for Maryland Congressional 5th District.

... to about trying to get the black vote, eh?

There isn't anything to apologize for. Blacks in this country should thank their ancestors for the burdens THEY suffered in order for their own future generations to have opportunity ... which they do now. Had they stayed behind in Africa, I assure you they wouldn't have it as good (as another forumite stated/detailed in regards to our society vs. their's.)

You are no different than the Jesse's and Al's of the world who are largely responsible for the ongoing race issues our society DOES have.

You're like a mother who breast feeds an 8 year old child who could otherwise get him/herself a drink just like every other kid manages to do. You have blacks thinking they can't do for themselves, so you are there to "help" them, champion for their "cause", etc.

And last, but certainly not least, you are the LAST person who should be pointing fingers at anyone for committing "wrongs" and saying others should apologize. You're a joke of a candidate, and I wouldn't wipe my backside with a ballot bearing your name.

Have you contacted Africa and demanded an apology from everyone on that continent for selling their own for profit?

He won't because he is too PC. After all, it is much easier to play on white guilt than to deal with the reality that their own bear the lion's share of blame in the slavery issue.
Should we now encourage the Chinese to sue the railroads because they "built" the railroads? From the sublime to the ridiculous.
Why should I apologize to the blacks for something I didnt do ? I have not held anyone in bondage nor do I think anyone else did on this forum.
If JPC feels he must apologize. then he can do it all by himself..it's his right. If he continues to cajole us, then I demand apology from the blacks for the mugging and robbery I went through on a bus out of DC on my way home from a class. Either way, DIng Ding...reality check....NEVER HAPPEN, because you cannot condemn a whole people for the actions of a few.

I hear a lot of white people preaching that garbage, but I say it is very evident and clear - that those black folk in Africa selling their own kind were not really in charge.

I say it is a reasonable conclusion that the white slave takers with the guns and swords and ships were the ones really in charge.

Claiming the blacks of Africa were in charge against the white guns and the white exploitation is absurd.

And even if the black Africans were giving their own kind into the American slavery (which is absurd) then that does not make the whites innocent or less guilty.

This is why "Black History Month" is more needed to correct history.

 

[crabcake]

HI have not held anyone in bondage nor do I think anyone else did on this forum.

You obviously are not a member of the dog pound.

 

[crabcake]

This is why "Black History Month" is more needed to "correct" history.

And you are proof that the gene pool needs a good thorough bleaching. Having a month devoted to history does not correct history; it educates.

And no, I won't apologize for that statement.

Jesus gave the example of an innocent sheep paying the punishment for others and not His own wrongs.

well in that case, those of you that come after me should be very honored and privileged

Well "Happy Black History Month" to you too.

 

[bcp]

Well "Happy Black History Month" to you too.

not a issue for me. I dont do black history month.
Im an American without an overwhelming feeling of guilt. I just do American history.
maybe you should swim on over to Africa and spread your love of the black man over there.

over here, I think we should just all be citizens without the concern about the color of our skin.
