Trying to stir up some white guilt before the election?

Dylan’s voice ruined my eardrums.

An embarassment.

[muir_redwoods]

The US outlawed slavery long before most other countries did. I believe Hungary was the first country to outlaw slavery but the US was in the first ten or so to do so.

OMG!!! I’M RUINT!!!!

Liberal Moron. Must be getting hungry — looking for his Obama hand out.

“People (are) at each other’s throats just because they are of a different color,” he said. “It will hold any nation back.”

[a fool in paradise]

Black separatists in the Black Panther movement (1960s and today) stir the kettle of racism by indoctrinating their children that no white person will ever look kindly upon them.

That is child abuse.

Hmmpphh ... Zimmerman's fame and wealth came in over the bodies of dead men in Viet Nam.

phuque you, Zimmerman!

Apart from other old hippy fleabags, who cares what this old hippy fleabag thinks?

The sun will shine a little brighter on the day that we bury the last of the louse-eaten nincompoops from the sixties.

““If slavery had been given up in a more peaceful way, America would be far ahead today,” Dylan observes.”

He got that right. Thanks, Progressives.

Wow,I’ve been waiting 8 yrs to hear “the bob’s” opinion.Still waiting for slim whitman’s to.(sarcasm)

Slavery was OLD before the US imported slaves here.

Granted that does not make it OK.

However, the US was one of the very first countries to reject it wholesale. As a matter of fact, the US put its future and fortune on the line to fight over abolition.

But-I guess we’re supposed to overlook that.

[don-o]

Sure. Let’s take a quote yanked out of any context by AP and use it to hammer Bob.

Free Republic at its finest.

He tells Rolling Stone that blacks know that some whites “didn’t want to give up slavery.” Only after a civil war cleaved the nation in two did slavery come to a reluctant end—after more than 600,000 Americans (including 260,000 Southerners) died in a war that started because the South wanted to preserve the institution. “If slavery had been given up in a more peaceful way, America would be far ahead today,” Dylan observes.

Slavery is still practiced openly in Africa and the Middle East. Where is the outrage?

Meanwhile 50 million babies have been sacrificed to Lilith/Pan since 1973. Where is the outrage?

Oh these times are a shaming.

[mountainlion]

That was over 150 years ago. Our pResident has done more damage.

[a fool in paradise]

This is Bob Dylan talking. How are we sure the interviewer even could understand what he was saying?

[Gay State Conservative]

All that dope he's smoked over the last 50 years has clearly taken its toll.So,Bob,the "guilt" of slavery will always remain? The "debt" that we may,or may not,owe can never be fully repaid?

[clamper1797]

Liberals are ruining America

[FlingWingFlyer]

EVERY country has engaged in slavery at one time or another throughout history. How many of the others have done what America has done for the descendants of their former slaves? KMA BOBBY!!! You braindead moron. Take your whining crap somewhere else. France is really popular these days.

Thomas Jefferson Wrote:

The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. . . .

And with what execration should the statesman be loaded, who permitting one half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other. . . . And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God?

That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.
