I sure hope I'm never part of a left-wing cause célèbre where you are tried on TV, the Internet and in the newspapers before a judge and jury ever see any evidence.

FACT: Most African-Americans ancestors came to America AFTER slavery ended.

"so much history ever since the first slave arrived in the United States"
Chris Matthews would have a nervous breakdown if he ever did a little research into Anthony Johnson.

Yes, because I was a slave so recently it still burns in my mind and is reflected in everything I do.

And slavery has not been legal in this country for over 147 years. Get over it.

Chris Matthews: Slavery Impacts People's View of the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman Case Not mine, Skippy.
There is not a single survivor of slavery I can think of, nor a survivor of that last slave left alive to punish.
Perhaps psychiatric help might clear that up for you?

The loss to the family notwithstanding, Trayvon’s haughty Obama eyes strike me as being a little boy meme brat scheme that, unfortunately, attracts the victimology of our legal and media system which relies for ratings on their munchausen syndrome by proxy.
So, Chrissy the self hating hater brings up the hate and the self hate about slavery, only because nowadays it is cool to be like Zero, ie. to cover up one’s stpuidity, debauchery and ignorance with hate desguised behind honeyed words full of snake poison.

Judging from some leftwing idiots, slavery ended about 38 days ago or something

You mean, "that last slaveholder left alive"? Well, there are many thousands of slaves right now in the U.S., just not from the era of the slave-holding American South. And there are more slaves alive in the world now than at any time in history.

Shouldn't the only factor be the evidence presented by the prosecution and the defense with total disregard to the color of these folks' skin or something that was outlawed centuries ago in this country? Well duh! Ever look at a statue of Justice...She wears a blindfold. Can't see color of skin, age, prosperity...Is he just figuring it out?

“so much history ever since the first slave arrived in the United States” ........................................... 1620? They were white folks, called indenture servants, no? My wife’s family has been here since 1637, my guess is she too is a descendant of slaves. My descendents were probably slaves in Rome. Time to get over it.

DOn’t forget that there were free black people in this country before the Revolutionary War and that the first owner of a slave (according to Beck) was himself black.

Name one person who remembers slavery.
