"I'm so sick of white entitlement," said a friend at dinner recently. It took me aback because of who was saying it. Like me, on the spectrum of African-American activism, the friend swings more Martin Luther King Jr. than Malcolm X. And it surprised me, because the comment voiced a frustration whose grip has tightened around me of late.

Using the Trail of Tears as an example of white oppression of blacks in the United States shows you ignorance of history and of life in general. The Cherokees took their slaves with them.
1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation
The 1842 Slave Revolt in the Cherokee Nation, then located in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) west of the Mississippi River, was the largest escape of a group of slaves to occur among the Cherokee. The slave revolt started on November 15, 1842, when a group of 20 African-American slaves owned by the Cherokee escaped and tried to reach Mexico, where slavery had been abolished in 1836. Along their way south, they were joined by 15 slaves escaping from the Creek in Indian Territory.
The fugitives met with two slave catchers taking a family of eight slave captives back to Choctaw territory. The fugitives killed the hunters and allowed the family to join their party. Although an Indian party had captured and killed some of the slaves near the beginning of their flight, the Cherokee sought reinforcements. They raised an armed group of more than 100 of their and Choctaw warriors to pursue and capture the fugitives. Five slaves were later executed for killing the two slave catchers.
What has been described as "the most spectacular act of rebellion against slavery" among the Cherokee, the 1842 event inspired subsequent slave rebellions in the Indian Territory. But, in the aftermath of this escape, the Cherokee Nation passed stricter slave codes, expelled freedmen from the territory, and established a 'rescue' (slave-catching) company to try to prevent additional losses.

Anyhow since you and your friend are in a restaurant please allow me to get you a hot cup of STFU!
I’m so sick of Friscotards.
Who the f*** is "us"?
The treatment of native populations and breaking of treaties with them is not a good place to plant a stake
That said the Trail of Tears was after the Founding Fathers and slavery of Africans still happens
This writer is a lefty who is out of touch and sees everything through the lens of race. Distortion is inevitable
Two perverts playing house.
Gag
one of the signs of our devolving culture is the SCOTUS ruling that fabricated the right of these deviants to “marry,” thus wrecking thousands of years of cultural sanity. Even worse, this enables them to inculcate their evil agenda into the minds of children, poisoning the culture for future generations.
Shame on Americans for allowing this grave sin against God. Our punishment is just beginning.
When the times look just like you’d expect of a Romans 1:18-32 era you shouldn’t be surprised to discover at the end of the day that they were.
Agreed. I hear the Central African Republic is wonderful this time of year...
Gotta look on the bright side. He wont be a black father abandoning his children
Jonathan must think he owns his husband. And that pretty much explains everything... Such vileness. On both sides of his equation.
[”I’m so sick of white entitlement,” said a friend at dinner recently.]
So your friend is a racist.
Good grief. The New International Version of those passages in Romans reads like something written by Larry Flynt. And it is so right on.
I think the question to all D voting men is if they have ever made unwanted sexual advances to a woman especially if that woman was a subordinate at work or much younger and of course vulnerable.
New Rules folks
Which one is the wife?
The capon speaks!
