America seems poised on the edge of an abyss... where She will elect "The First American Black President" in a badly misplaced, guilt-ridden frenzy to try to balance the scales for what is popularly believed to have been the unprecedented insult of 200 years of White-on-Black slavery.

Such nonsense would never find it's way into anything other that a badly written Hollywood "B" script just because the totality of the historical facts do not support the premise.

Slavery did not originate with White Europeans. The first slave owners were People of Color. The northern African Egyptians enslaved the Jews (caucasians) for over 400 years alone.

Do we see Haischa Imperfeldt screaming for reparations, or condemning the Africans? No. Haischa and his people grabbed themselves by the bootstraps, pulled themselves to their full height and made something of themselves without whining for a handout because their ancestors had been mistreated.

So when we talk about White-on-Black slavery, was there perhaps a reason why it occurred? I believe there was.

The roll of the dice. It was our turn. Get over it, America.

And even if you can't get over it, your displacement of aggression which finds expression in (of all ridiculous things) a self-effacement brought on by guilt over being among the planet's "Have's" for a few decades is no reason to hand the reins of the greatest Nation in civilized history to an America-hating black man whose peculiar brand of Christianity looks more and more like Islam whenever you peel back the layers of its hatred for White America.

America should learn to accept history's penchant for rolling the dice with some grace and dignity. The same can be said of Obama and his angry "I want a handout" hangers-on.

We could all learn something from Haischa Imperfeldt. And we better do just that, before it's too late.

Nitpicking here - in your eagerness to make your point against “people of color,” you’ve labeled Jews as Caucasians.

Jews (and Arabs for that matter) are Semites; they have always been Semites. Spending a few centuries in Europe doesn’t make them Caucasian.

Here is a basic reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic

What B.O. could have said in his speech but would never do so:

"Of course, I sincerely hope none of you ever learn what I and many other Blacks and Muslims know and do our best to keep this information hidden, that, according to Robert Davis between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa and Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries.

"Moreover, the coastal villages and towns of Italy, Portugal, Spain and Mediterranean islands were frequently attacked by them and long stretches of the Italian, Portuguese and Spanish coasts were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants; after 1600 Barbary pirates occasionally entered the Atlantic and struck as far north as Iceland.

"What I would also want to keep quiet is the fact that the Atlantic slave trade peaked in the late 18th century, when the largest number of slaves were captured on raiding expeditions into the interior of West Africa.

"These expeditions were typically carried out by African kingdoms, such as the Oyo empire (Yoruba), Kong Empire, Kingdom of Benin, Kingdom of Fouta Djallon, Kingdom of Fouta Tooro, Kingdom of Koya, Kingdom of Khasso, Kingdom of Kaabu, Fante Confederacy, Ashanti Confederacy, Aro Confederacy and the kingdom of Dahomey. Bet you did not know that Europeans rarely entered the interior of Africa?
