MSNBC Host Compares Gitmo Inmates to American Slaves Daniel Halper May 26, 2013 10:38 AM

On MSNBC, host Melissa Harris-Perry compared Gitmo terrorist inmates to American slaves:

"This is the time to reaffirm our Americanness," said Harris-Perry. "I also appreciate that the hunger strikers are not trying to die. They're trying to generate autonomy in the context of something that strips their humanity--something we certainly know about from the experience of American slavery. And that the language of before I would be a slave, I'd be buried in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free. Just that idea of creating human freedom within the context of horrible human conditions."

Unfortunately, there are a large number of college professors who are out on the fringe politically. You have to trust that the kids have been taught at home to adapt to the ideologically hostile environment and get their degrees.

Why does America never get credit for ending slavery? The liberals talk about slavery and the legacy of slavery. They never talk about how we ended slavery, and that eventually Jim Crow laws were done away with.

I heard a feminist once say how terrible it was that women didn’t get the right to vote until the 19th amendment was passed. She was talking about how America was sexist, women were put down, all this stuff. In talking to her, she did not give our ancestors any credit for passing the 19th amendment and giving her the right to vote. To her, it was some “sin” or something, that the Founding Fathers didn’t give women the right to vote right from the outset.

To the liberal, some “sins” such as slavery and the status of women, can never be atoned for, if we can use such theological terminology.

I wonder if the MSM understands that Islamic countries in Africa have abut 500,000 slaves??? That human trafficking is still conducted due to capturing non-believers???

The more they talk and try to convince the public they know what they are talking about - the more people are beginning to realize they are no more than a bunch of self-publicized idiots!

Good posts - keeps proving why I don’t watch Cable or Local news!

Maybe she’s trying to say that African Americans who have slavery in their family trees have terrorist tendencies...makes as much sense as what she said.
