Some of our ancestors came as INDENTURED servants...who worked for no pay in order to pay off a debt...a form of slavery.
Mein Kampf = My Struggle
Jesse , you got this one ALL wrong. The ‘bamster isn’t about being black he’s a liberal facist... is that what you are talking about?
There, fixed it.
The Three-Fifths Clause counted slaves (not free blacks) as 3/5 of a person for purposes of the U.S. Census. It did not deem slaves, much less blacks, as three-fifths human any more than a law that states that tourists temporarily in Orlando, Florida on April 1, 2010 should not be counted as persons in the Census deems such tourists to be non-human.
Ironically, the Three-Fifths Compromise was an anti-slavery clause--Jesse Jackson needs to read up on his Frederick Douglass instead of re-reading the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Free states did not want slaves to be counted in the Census at all, while slave states wanted them to count as one person so as to gain additional U.S. Representatives and electoral votes, and they reached a compromise that, as Frederick Douglass pointed out, provided an incentive for states to free their slaves. I guess that Jesse Jackson would have been happier had there not been a Three-Fifths Clause in the Constitution, but not as happy as those slave states would have been to get additional Representatives and electoral votes.
Still promoting a distorted view of America's history as relates to its Constitutional structuring of government, thus perpetuating misunderstanding and less-than-honest appraisal of what was known as the "three fifths compromise" in order to establish a union.
Perhaps Justice Harlan's words in his "Concurring and Dissenting Opinion" (1970) in Oregon v. Mitchell included this paragraph might be instructive:
"A. Historical Setting
[n3] "The point of departure for considering the purpose and effect of the Fourteenth Amendment with respect to the suffrage should be, I think, the preexisting provisions of the Constitution. Article I, § 2, provided that, in determining the number of Representatives to which a State was entitled, only three-fifths of the slave population should be counted. [n4] The section also provided that the qualifications of voters for such Representatives should be the same as those established by the States for electors of the most numerous branch of their respective legislatures. Article I, § 4, provided that, subject to congressional veto, the States might prescribe the times, places, and manner of holding elections for Representatives. Article II, § 1, provided that the States might direct the manner of choosing electors for President and Vice President, except that Congress might fix a uniform time for the choice. [n5] Nothing in the original [p156] Constitution controlled the way States might allocate their political power except for the guarantee of a Republican Form of Government, which appears in Art. IV, § 4. [n6] No relevant changes in the constitutional structure were made until after the Civil War." (Underlining added for emphasis)
Just words, as the President has said, but then words can be explanatory or inflammatory.
Boy, oh boy, did you ever screw up.
So if there is black history then there must also be white history.
In a vulgar tirade caught on tape by Fox News, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said he wanted to "cut his [Barack Obama's] nuts out" and he accused the fellow Chicagoan of "talking down to black folks" by giving moral lectures to African-Americans, source said Jackson's shocking quotes were picked up by a hot mic before an interview on health care in Fox's Chicago studio last Sunday
Get out the violin.
First, for the millions of black Americans whose educational records aren't a top secret, national security mystery.
Second, for continuing to use the old 'N' word instead of the "new" 'N' word in their organization name.
And finally, for not paying Pimp Jesse be in any TV commercials for them.
Obama ‘is the result of our struggles’
Jesse:
With a good laxative, you wouldn’t have to struggle so hard to get that kind of “product.”
What evidence, Jess?
Pay off your loans, commit to pre-natal care, obtain a skill set, maintain a career, obtain insurance and don't commit any crimes.
Works every time its tried, Jess.
