Because some people like to look upon it as a credit card with no debt limit. No matter how much penance is paid back, the demands for payout never stop.

Of course slavery was odious. Of course ending it was a good thing. However the U.S. was not unique in the institution (or in the corollary of racism), yet we seem to be uniquely hung up on it.

Almost 5% of the slaves shipped from Africa to the New World were brought to the US and Canada. Clearly America deserves all the blame.

From the article: “Then there’s the liberal use of the n-word in the film which many will find deplorable.”

I hear it in movies blacks produce and direct, I hear it in black music constantly, hell I even hear blacks call each other the word AT WORK. So why is it such a horrific act when QT or anyone else uses it?....................never understood that.
