John Legend's Spoiled Academy Award Speech
americanthinker.com ^ | 2/24/2015 | David Lawrence

Posted on 02/24/2015 5:40:47 AM PST by rktman

During Legend’s speech Oprah Winfrey was crying. I don’t understand why these millionaires and billionaires bite into the apple of their ancestors’ grief. Legend and Oprah suffered nothing. Are they so greedy that they want fortunes simultaneously with the pride of being trounced-on-slaves?

A simple thank you would have been sufficient for rescuing them from certain death had we left their ancestors in Africa.

I just heard the radio clip of this guy on WMAL. Is he the idiot that said “an unarmed black man is killed by the police every five seconds”.

‘Rithmatic is not this assclown’s strong point. But no one has challenged him.

If it were true, they’d be dropping at a rate of 120,960 per week. Or more than six million a year.

How many rabble rousers and ovine youts will repeat this?

It’s hard to credit a “voluntary” migration when they were shackled in the holds of slave ships.

Some girls in eastern Europe will “volunteer” for jobs as models and hostesses, only to be made into sex slaves. Even though they volunteered for a certain type of job, they are nevertheless slaves when they are terrorized and drugged against their will to be shopped out to sexual perverts.

Children enticed with candy may voluntarily jump into a van...they are still captives.

Captivity is captivity, regardless of the ruse used to ensnare the victims.

The majority didn’t even come to the United States of America. Are they crying throughout the New World?

Distribution of slaves (1519–1867)[94]

Destination Percentage

Portuguese America 38.5%
British America (minus North America) 18.4%
Spanish Empire 17.5%
French Americas 13.6%
British North America 6.45%
English Americas 3.25%
Dutch West Indies 2.0%
Danish West Indies 0.3%

Are there regular Hollywood and Billionaire boycotts of Brazil? The French, British and Spanish ex-colonial countries?

Why are they just mad at America?

Twitter world will probably be lit up. I mean this guy is a genius right so whatever he says CAN’T be wrong or incorrect. Right? And, I believe they are now referred to by the “msm” as “a large group to teenagers”.

I kinda heard to him someplace but couldn’t really tell you anything about him. Guess I’m a dinosaur when it comes to “pop culture”. (”culture” being subverted I guess)

93% of the slaves in the Atlantic slave trade didn’t come to America. Of worldwide slavery in the history of mankind, America is an infinitesimal fraction of the total and for a very, very short period of time.

Where are all the African slave populations that went to the ME?
