Only in America…
…could a man whose African forebears sold blacks into slavery and whose American forebears owned slaves
marry a woman whose lineage includes both slaves and slave owners,
become POTUS and FLOTUS.
And again, only in America, could a POTUS and FLOTUS with such genealogies employ the benefits of white guilt to their political advantage so successfully.
Do not think for one minute that the irony privilege is lost on them.

Indeed, only in America could the descendent of Muslim slave traders be elected by a majority of white voters (none of whom ever owned slaves and most of whom didn’t even have ancestors who owned slaves) and continue in ways both large and small to accuse them of harboring racism in their hearts.
“We’ve got no time for excuses. Not because the bitter legacy of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they have not. Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there.” President Obama, Morehouse College commencement, May 2013
And hey, America! You earned it! Your white guilt, I mean:

“Obama has repeatedly returned to the well of racial divisiveness to serve his political ends. His 2008 presidential campaign managed to revive the white guilt that had long since dissipated and then hinted that the one path to racial reconciliation was to make him president. Only then could we stop talking about race – a conversation he had initiated in the first place.
“Alas, since he’s been president, that’s all we talk about.” – Ann Coulter, Mugged
Odd, isn’t it, that progressives, as virulently anti-religion as they are, seem so fixated on original sin?
Why not post it all here instead of pimping for hits?
Every time I see the word “athiest,” it makes me smile. “Athi” could mean ... anything.
“Why does Tom get his own room and I don’t?”
“Because Tom’s athier than you are. He always has been.”
“He wouldn’t be the athiest if he didn’t eat so much!”
It’s spelled “Atheist”, not Athiest.
The reason is that a THEIST is someone who believes in a supreme being, or god, so the opposite of that person is......an A-theist.
Those damn southerners should have just picked their OWN cotton!
FUBO.
FUMO.
Forever and ever.
To the Nth degree.
Shove up both your collective smelly Obamas.
Never come home.
Evah!
Says the man who has deep African slave trader roots.
They are standing where slaves CAPTURED, or BOUGHT by other AFRICANS were sold by their AFRICAN OWNERS to the Europeans who were not allowed past the shoreline forts because that might have impinged on the slave business of the BLACK AFRICAN tribes that ran the slave trade. They should learn more about der Fuehrer’s ancestral trade was, the SLAVE trade.
These scumbags think they are africans. I’m closer to being Swiss or German than the first bitch is to being african. Leave them there in the low end of the gene pool, never allow them to return, let them learn to be real africans which they aren’t now. Let them experience what real africans would do to them.
Why didn’t Obama visit and condemn the Moslem slave trade going on TODAY?
Why didn’t he point out that it was African tribes selling slaves to white traders? Black hands are just as dirty as white hands.
Maybe it's because HIS tribe was one of them?
“Atheists don’t believe in God. But the Devil does’’.— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
I am reading a very well documented book by Dr. Peter Hammond,a missionary, that traces the involvement of Moslems in the slave trade over the centuries. They accounted for the overwhelming majority of the trade, while slavers exporting to America accounted for about 4% of the trade. The book is Slavery, Terrorism & Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat - First Edition

Well, if liberals weren’t bitching about the legacy of slavery, they would bitch about something else.
I’ve heard liberals bitch about how women weren’t given the vote until 1920, and so that women weren’t included when Jefferson wrote that all men are created equal.
I’ve heard liberals bitch about how homosexual behavior itself was a criminal offense decades ago, and that America has to atone for treatment of homosexuals. Some homosexuals had been fired from jobs in the past, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I’ve heard liberals bitch about the old company stores in company towns, about workers being paid in scrip, not in lawful money, and that we have to atone for those sins.
Liberals will find something in our history to complain that we don’t live up to our highest ideals. So even if Southerners had picked their own cotton, there would still be a long laundry list of issues to complain about.
Because the politically correct view of history is that European slave traders invaded African and kidnapped Kunte Kinte and other slaves directly. The PC history omits any involvement of Africans selling other Africans into slavery.
Describe to them how NO one could have successfully carried on a trade in slaves WITHOUT the full complicity and eager assistance of the INDIGINOUS AFRICANS, who greatly facilitated the trafficking and who themselves, became extremely wealthy and powerful in the process.
***It’s spelled “Atheist”, not Athiest.****
As was pounded in our heads, “ ‘I’ before ‘E’ except after ‘C’”.
But we know it does not work in all cases.
All benevolent, decent, moral, good people should--and must--denounce it and work for its abolition.
I certainly agree with the denunciation of slavery as one of the greatest and most horrifying evils ever devised by man or the devil.
And if the truth were known--if we could but know all of our ancestors--we are all--all of us--descendants of slaves and enslavers, most of them lost in the mists of time and unrecorded by history.
However--no one is responsible for the sins of anyone else--including one's ancestors, no matter how recent or remote. Each of us is responsible for his own sins and triumphs. No one can justly be blamed for the sins of anyone else.
It is a good idea to expose the horrors of the past. Everyone should be aware of them. This is the best insurance against their reoccurrence.
And that being done--we must look to the present and the future.
Slavery should--and must--be abolished from the earth--and never allowed to raise its hideous, evil head again.
The American Anti-Slavery Group is working hard to do this. Please give them your support.

Yes slavery was an awful part of American HISTORY, but after 150 years isn’t it time we move on? Not only slavery is gone by a century and a half, but the Jim Crow south is gone for more than 60 years. The only reason this dwelling on the past exists is that professional race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are constantly rubbing salt in these old wounds for their own power.
