SC NAACP seeks slavery apology from newspaper
WIS TV ^ | 09 October 2014 | Steve Crump

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - At first glance, past ads connected to slavery may have you doing a double take.

They come from one of the South's oldest newspapers still serving communities in the Carolinas.

The Augusta Chronicle's reach extends into towns like North Augusta, South Carolina. That's why state NAACP President Lonnie Randolph wants the paper to issue an apology for content it ran in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It's good to know that the NAACP has solved all the problems in the black community and now has the time to worry about 200 year old newspaper ads.

What about slavery TODAY that the NAACP and the DNC
and RINOs like McCain and Obola-the-Undocumented support?

What about these women raped and enslaved
"thanks" to THEM? ? ? ? [..... crickets]

Time for the jokes to start writing themselves.

NAACP: “Negroes Are Actually Colored Polacks”

OK, get busy.

They could always apologize to anyone still living that was a slave before the Civil War. ;-)

They have already received their “apology in blood” from 1861 to 1865. Nothing more is needed.

It’s amazing they are not concerned about modern day slavery, which is still happening in some places in the world.

They are only concerned about the Negro slavery in this country, which we abolished in 1865. Abolishing slavery though was not good enough. What do these people want?

Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Florida and Alabama? Confederate states? Were they actually elected by the people, as House members are supposed to be, or just selected by Reconstruction puppet governments?

Why don’t you do some research? That way you’ll know what’s true.

I suggest a written apology to anyone sold due to their ads. Just get their mailing address and send it on.

Former Confederates were not allowed to vote. Federal bayonets controlled the polling places.

On behalf of my slave holding ancestors, I sincerely apologise; it was folly to have brought those people over here and once here, greater folly to have not sent them back.

The only successful coup in US history took place in Wilmington NC. Freely elected black and white republicans killed or run out of town by democrat mobs. Many of the landmarks in Wilmington still carry the names of the ring leaders.

I see what you are suggesting here. Since anyone sold into slavery is long since deceased, there is no way to apologize to any slaves actually sold.

Making a fuss about them doesn’t advance the anti-Christian agenda.

What do these people want?

The NAACP racists want you to die.

Failing that, they want everything you own ... and you groveling at their feet.

They can't actually come out and say it, but their actions make it obvious.

The only rational response to them is to tell them to piss off ... and defend yourself with deadly force if they get violent.

Gee, it’s enough to make you not want to live in a racially mixed place such as Ferguson, Missouri.

You witless idiots want an apology? Go to the Gold Coast area of Africa and demand apologies from the still existing black tribes there who still celebrate their part in capturing and selling slaves. They made it all possible. While you’re at it go to the party of slavery; yeah, you know, that democrat party whose ass you kiss on a daily basis. They fought a useless civil war to keep the ancestors of you bastards IN slavery.

Finally, YOU can apologize to all of us whose ancestors gave up blood and money to free your ancestors from the democrat party. Your ancestors were freed and all of you in the present day F***ed it up completely.

Piss off, all of you and your revered descendant of slave traders kenyan president.

None of my ancestors owned slaves therefore I owe no apologies to anyone. And not one penny of my tax money should be used as any sort of reparation.
